This is a superb copy of the classic second beatles album. An extremely rare UK Pressings, with great vinyl and great cover.

The Beatles second official L.P. release. Two weeks BEFORE release, "With The Beatles" had advance orders of 270,000, and before the first week of release was out, the half-a-million figure had been beaten. They were actually awarded a Silver disc (for sales of 250,000) on November 18th 1963, 4 days BEFORE release ! By mid January 1964 885,000 had been sold in the U.K. and by the end of 1964, the total was 980,000.

The ONE MILLION mark arrived by September 1965, making this album the FIRST EVER British album to sell 1,000,000 copies in the U.K. The American version of this album, Meet The Beatles bizarrely left off five of the tracks, but sold over 5 million copies. This makes combined sales for The Beatles second album of over 6.5 million.

Chart wise, this L.P. replaced "Please Please Me" at the number one slot, and remained there for 21 weeks. This gave The Beatles a continuous run of 51 weeks at the summit !_Also, in these early days of the British charts, ALL product was listed together regardless of format, and therefore this L.P. even made it into the U.K. singles chart, reaching number 11, which was a record placing for an album.

The cover was a very artful half-shadow black-and-white shot of The Beatles taken by Robert Freeman.

ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING:

Yes – brilliant! -  NEAR MINT sound quality throughout!

This great record plays up to the visual and audio grading and beyond, with Crystal Clear, near perfect sound. Near silence between the tracks this record sounds like new!

With the Beatles is a complex and varied collection of music, and is also a relatively sensitive piece of vinyl, and hard to find in really clear audio condition. Worn copies can have a lot of surface sound even on musically complex and busy tracks like ' Devil in Her Heart .' This copy has strong undistorted audio, with Super clear sound. There is certainly NO pops or clicks or Distortion. It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity!

Superb sound, every track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes.  Wonderful TOP audio, there is NO distortion, NO sticks or jumps what so ever, and virtual silence between the tracks.

This vinyl is an absolute gem! It must be the clearest copy of 'With the Beatles' I've heard. Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound. John Lennon said that the beatles were best listened to in mono, and when you listen to this album you can really hear what he meant. The music jumps out, with definition, power and clarity, giving an incredibly live rockous sound. A great MONO press experience. The bass guitar and drums are so true, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear. The tonal quality make this a sensational pressing. With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.

A great all round example of this classic vinyl. This is a great Audio pleasure and I would have to give the Audio at least a NEAR MINT grading.

staggering first Mono mix, unlike the re-issues which lack the impact. A great all round example of this great vinyl. 

THE RECORD - VISUAL QUALITY - 

A superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing. Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings, this vinyl has been little played. It does have some faint sleeve removal marks, but the are light and have no effect on the sound. 

There are a few very faint handling marks, this vinyl has been played carefully and shows no groove wear. Unbelievable to think this vinyl is over 40 years old! Must rate at least with an EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS grading.

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING:

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.

A great example and an Original G and L cover. With the Beatles covers have to be one of the most prone to wear, of all the classic Beatles vinyls from the sixties. The laminate is prone to cracking and lifting, with serious ring wear and destruction to the edges. The unlaminated back is usually heavily marked and The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and un readable. Not this one!

Being the second Beatles album, it is extremely hard to find With the Beatles covers in anything like decent condition. This is a lovely example with only very light corner wear.

There is virtually no scuffing to the corners, and no rubbing along the edges. The opening edges are very square and un frayed, with none of the  small splits at the opening that you nearly always get with With The Beatles. The white areas are very white, with no blemishes. The back cover is nice and clean, with no discernible ring wear, which is very unusual for these delicate covers.

The Spine shows NO wear,  the spine text is totally intact, and is one of the squarest examples I have seen. The front is unusual, in that you can make out a clear separation  between the background and the Beatles polo neck jumpers. All round, this is a really nice cover!!!

THE LABELS - NEAR MINT CONDITION

Both labels are in NEAR MINT CONDITION, with only a couple of extremly light spindle traces and very little discernible wear around the spindle hole. Nice examples of this rare classic UK press.

THE INNER

Comes with the Original First Press Inner Sleeve with Polythene Lining. States: "USE EMITEX..." & "IMPORTANT - TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MICRO-GROOVE RECORDS ..."

EXCELLENT PLUS condition, NO discolouration, NO tears, and NO wear at the tops. Crisp and Clean. The record will come in a replacement inner to protect the original.

RARITY

A FIRST PRESS copy of With the Beatles in this type of condition is scarce. The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound. Any UK Yellow and Black examples with a record in this type of condition, that plays really well is very rare.

UK Yellow and Black original pressings of With the Beatles are getting rarer by the day. Finding one in great all round condition is extremely rare, and makes this a very rare opportunity.

This is an Original Uk Press with Original Inner Sleeve and great original HEAVY PRESSED Vinyl. With Original Yellow and Black Parlophone Labels,   Finding a copy in this condition is VERY RARE Indeed. A wonderful and extremely rare copy of this classic early beatles album, with AMAZING CRYSTAL CLEAR TOP AUDIO!

  A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY.

GREAT COVERS WITH NO SEAM SPLITS, NO TEARS, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS.

GREAT VINYLS WITH NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, NO JUMPS OR REPEATS - GUARANTEED!

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING; PLEASE NOTE:

This record has been play tested to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description. I aim to give a precise and concise description of the sound quality, pointing out any defects so that you know what you are bidding on. I will not go into screeds of information about nature of the songs, as I imagine that you already know them well. I aim to describe all items as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

VINYL

Large format art work covers with the original sound and mix unique to vinyl and of the highest quality audio. Vinyl record have always been loved and have become a great investment opportunity, with prices soaring over the last ten years, making classic pieces a great financial as well as a cultural investment.  

ABOUT ME 

I am a visual artist, working internationally, a collector of art and rare objects including rare vinyl, which I have been collecting for over 25 years, and an art and music enthusiast. I specialise in the  highest quality rarest items, selling to collectors the world over. I want you to know what a great item you are bidding on. If there is anything that is unclear in the listing, or you have any questions about this or any other item, please feel free to get in touch. All the best to you.  

IMAGES and INFORMATION

I only use my photographs taken with a high quality digital camera of the item for sale. The images are designed to be as clear as possible, giving an exact image of the item. I aim to give sufficient and accurate detail as possible, so that you know exactly what you are bidding on. Please let me know if you need any further information and I will be only to happy to oblige.

VINYL SOUND - PLEASE NOTE:

Top quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and is what I always aim for. Even with the cleanest copies you will find occasional static sound during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and I advise a light clean should be given between plays for optimal performance. 

SERVICE YOU CAN TRUST, QUALITY ASSURED. I HAVE A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK RATING.

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, etc.
