Description
THE BEATLES SECOND ALBUM "EXPORT"!!!! STEREO YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS CPCS 103
THESE ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND AND CERTAINLY NOT OFTEN SEEN!!!!
HERE WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY RARE BEATLES ALBUM. THESE ALBUMS WERE ONLY ISSUED TO BE EXPORTED TO EUROPE AND WERE PRESSED IN VERY SMALL NUMBERS!!!!
"THE BEATLES SECOND ALBUM" WAS PRESSED IN THE UK FOR EXPORT TO EUROPE TO SHOWCASE THESE "ELECTRIFYING BIG-BEAT PERFORMANCES", THIS RECORD HAS THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS. AN OBVIOUS POINT, BUT THERE IS NO "NO SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE CODITIONS" ON THE LABELS AS THESE "EXPORT" COPIES WERE NOT SOLD IN THE UK.
THE MATRIX, MOTHER & STAMPER NUMBERS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES ARE:
SIDE ONE: MATRIX "YEEX 110 A9" MOTHER & STAMPERNUMBERS ARE 1 & R.
SIDE TWO: MATRIX "YEEX 111 A9" MOTHER & STAMPER NUMBERS ARE 1 & R.
BOTH LABELS HAVE "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD ALL RIGHTS" AROUND THE OUTER EDGES!!!!
AND OF COURSE HAVE THE "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" ON BOTH SIDES!!!!.
CONDITION!!!!
SIDE ONE: THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH SEVERAL SPINDLE TRAILS AND A LITTLE BIT OF WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE. IT HAS KT EMBOSSED TO EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE. THE PLAYING SURFACE AGAIN HAS NUMEROUS MARKS BUT NONE THAT EVEN REMOTELY AFFECT THE PLAY!!!! AS FOR PLAYBACK I TESTED THIS ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 THROUGH A LINN SYSTEM AND BELIEVE ME IF IT LOOKED AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDED I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE DISC AS EXCELLENT + IT REALLY DOES SOUND THAT GOOD!!!!
SIDE TWO: THE LABELS ARE AGAIN BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH EVEN LESS SPINDLE TRAILS AND THE CENTRE HOLE IS EVEN BETTER. THE PLAYING SURFACE DOES HAVE NUMEROUS MARKS BUT AGAIN THE PLAYBACK IS SUPERB!!!!.
AGAIN I WOULD HONESTLY GRADE THIS RECORD AS EXCELLENT + IF ONLY IT LOOKED AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDED. THE PLAYBACK IS AS SHARP AND VIVID AS THE DAY IT WAS FIRST RECORDED. DURING THE ENTIRE TESTING PERIOD THERE WERE ONLY TWO VERY SLIGHT POPS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE BETWWEN MONEY AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT. .
SLEEVE
PRINTED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD PATENTS PENDING WHICH I WOULD GRADE OVERALL AS VERY GOOD!! THERE ARE NO RIPS OR TEARS THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL CREASES TO THE LAMINATE ON THE FRONT. THE SPINE IS COMPLETE AND IN DECENT ORDER. THE REVERSE DOES SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR . IT ALSO HAS A NAME WRIITEN IN BLUE INK TO THE BOTTOM LEFT, IT LOOKS LIKE GEIR FOTTLAND WHICH GOES TO PROVE THIS ALBUM WAS GENUINELY EXPORTED TO EUROPE!!!!!!!!
THE INNER PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD ORDER!!
SO FEEL CONFIDENT TO BID ON THIS INCREDIBE RARITY AS I CAN ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL NOT SEE THESE TOO OFTEN. YOU WILL SEE THE BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL WITH THE 1 OR 2 EMI BOXES BUT THIS IS A TRUE "YELLOW & BLACK LABEL EXPORT ALBUM"!!!!
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY AUCTIONS TO SEE IF I HAVE ANYTHING OF INTEREST TO YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK IF BIDDING!!!!
