HELP !

MONO

I HAVE HAD THIS IN MY BEATLES COLLECTION FOR MANY YEARS, AND THE AUDIO IS BRILLIANT. BUT THERE ARE SOME UNUSUAL DIFFERENCES ON THE LABELS, AS I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW >>

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 UK  PRESS :: XEX  549-2  ::  XEX  550-2 .

ON THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL :: PMC 1255 .

'SOLD SUBJECT TO RESALE' TEXT .

NOW THE INTERESTING STUFF, FIRSTLY THIS HAS A 'M T' TAX STAMP ON THE LABEL WHICH WOULD INDICATE PRESSED-JAN 1ST 63 TO JUNE 30TH 63,  BUT THIS WAS A 1965 PRESSING ?????

 ALSO OF INTEREST IS THAT ON MOST OF THESE LABELS, ON SIDE 1, 'NORTHERN SONGS , NCB' APPEARS ABOVE THE 'BEATLES' NAME ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL...BUT THIS LABEL HAS 'NORTHERN SONGS NCB' BELOW THE 'BEATLES NAME!!! 

AND FINALLY  THE SIDE 2 LAYOUT DIFFERS FROM THE OTHER 'TNR' LABEL VARIANTS. IT IS BELIEVED THIS IS THE FIRST 'TNR' LABEL THAT APPEARED, AND THE SIDE 2 ERROR WAS SOON RECTIFIED, ALONG WITH THE 'NORTHERN SONGS NCB'.......SO NOT MANY PRINTED !!!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, . PATENTS PENDING :: THIS IS A VERY NICE ORIGINAL WITH 'MONO' LOGO TOP RIGHT CORNER :: THE FRONT LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT AND THE ONLY THING IS THAT THERE ARE A FEW TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A SMALL SURFACE FAINT CREASE LINE IN THE MIDDLE TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE ( NOTHING MUCH REALLY ) :: THE BACK HAS ALL FLIPBACKS SECURE (PLEASE SEE PHOTO FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION) :: THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND THE BACK HAS SOME FAINT HANDLING MARKS AND A SMALL NAME WRITTEN IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. SO A VERY NICE SOLID ORIGINAL AND I WOULD GRADE  :: EX- . 

VINYL :: YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THIS PLAYS FROM START TO FINISH WITH LOVELY MONO AUDIO. VISUALLY VERY NICE AS WELL, WITH ONLY SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW SMALL FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS A SMALL SLIGHTLY FEELABLE LINE ON TRACK 3 WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT WHEN YOU ANGLE THE VINYL AWAY FROM LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE, SO THIS WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES AND THAT THE VINYL WILL PLAY WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES !!!!

SIDE 1 PLAYS AMAZING WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES AND EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS THERE IS QUIET !!!

SIDE 2 ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF FAINT BACKGROUND TICKS AT THE START AND A COUPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3, AND THIS IS DUE TO THAT SLIGHTLY FEELABLE LINE MENTIONED ABOVE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY ARE VERY BACKGROUND AND NOT INTRUSIVE IN ANYWAY TO SPOIL YOUR LISTEN PLEASURE !!! AND AGAIN QUIET BETWEEN TRACKS, .....AND THAT'S IT !!! SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: A VERY VERY STRONG EX .  AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR TRACK 3 THE AUDIO GRADE WOULD HAVE BEEN EX+/NEAR MINT, SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS AS THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS BRILLIANT AND CLEAR !!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH THE 'M T' TAX STAMP ON LABEL 2 AND A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ . 

EMITEX POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING OR SPLITS AND ONLY SOME LIGHT CORNER CREASING AND A SMALL BIT OF CELLOTAPE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE MIDDLE :: VG/VG+ .

BRILLIANT ALBUM BY THE BEATLES WITH THOSE UNUSUAL DIFFERENCES FROM THE OTHER LABELS !!!!! I THINK THE ABOVE LISTING SAYS IT ALL !!! YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS BEATLES CLASSIC !!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
