NOTES
A worldwide first pressing with a hot history: "Letzte Meldung" (today translated most appropriate with "Breaking News") told the passioned German collector that "very enthusiastic" Beatles fans had robbed a truck full of Bealtes records coming straight from EMI's pressing plant in Hayes, Middlesex. Whenever that could be hardly of interest for Germans (all German releases were pressed in Germany, first by Electrola, later by "Nicolaus GmbH" in Cologne), this "last minute note" is a funny feature of the Fabs' second record's first press. Interesting, too: With The Beatles is the first album released in Germany at all!
Up for auction here a visually excellent copy, down to its original b/w pictures Odeon inner sleeve. It's thicker, heavy vinyl and shows the printing error "You Really Gotta..." on both cover and label. Important to note, too, that this is the ONLY German mono pressing.
Unfortunately, there's strange-looking bubbles spread over the first two songs on both sides. We can't determine whether this is a production error or caused by later unproper handling. This affects the sound whenever, amazingly, record plays thru.
Conclusion: If you're out for mint copies, skip this listing. If you're a starter or do not own this first press already, that is your chance to grab it!
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE for GERMAN BIDDERS: Please constact us before bidding, for otherwise we will remove your bid without prior notice. This is in view of constantly recurring problems, often caused by language. It's NOT an offense. Collectors want harmony and consensus, not trouble.

1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading

Audible checks are performed with a Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier, with a Sennheiser 350 headset. Remarks As for the Cover and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after. Spine is in a perfect condition.
Cover front completely glossy, whereas the back something yellows, which is why we applied different gradings.
Away from the bubbles aforementioned, vinyl is shiny. Hairlines.
Regarding audio, plays perfectly thru no jumps, skips, BUT with clear noises/"scratching" during first two songs on either side due to "bubbles". Please see photos to get an impression of how these look like.
Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.
