"WITH THE BEATLES"
Mobile Fidelity Records MFSL 1-102
The MFSL edition of "With The Beatles" was, by accident, produced in smaller numbers than the other MFSL Beatles albums.
The only time the original Beatles masters were allowed to leave the UK was when MFSL was preparing their Beatles albums for release. After MFSL returned the master tapes, the stamper they made of With The Beatles broke while pressing albums. MFSL were denied access to the masters a second time. Since they couldn't make a new stamper from the original master tapes, they stopped producing that album.
Rumor is that it was pressed in a quantity of around 1,000 copies instead of the 5,000 standard release
Pressed in Japan
LOW, LOW, LOW STARTING BID!
MFSL began issuing albums in 1977, during the height of the dissatisfaction over the sound of (mainly US) pressings of albums. Most of the decade had been spent by collectors decrying how poor the album pressings had become in the 1970s.
From The MFSL Catalog:
"What distinguishes an Original Master Recording LP from any other record?"
1. Original Master Recordings are exclusively transferred from the original stereo master tape that the musicians recorded in the studio (not from a second, third, or fourth generation copy of that master tape).
2. Each Original Master Recording employs Mobile Fidelity Sound lab's exclusive half-speed mastering process, thus capturing every nuance of sound from the master tape.
3. Quality, not quantity, is the overwhelming consideration in the creation of each Original Master Recording. The number of pressings is strictly controlled. These limited editions assure you that the quality of the last pressing matches the quality of the first.
4. Original Master recordings are custom pressed overseas by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). Super Vinyl, an exclusive compound far superior to even so-called 100% virgin vinyl, is utilized to achieve maximum clarity and startling quietness....
