THE BEATLES - 'BEATLES FOR SALE'

1969 UK STEREO PRESSING LP

In October 1969 EMI introduced thier new '1-EMI-box' design label to replace the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. These new pressings utilized the same matrices with the original 'tube-cut' mixes as the 1st pressings, and are arguably their equal in sound quality.

This UNPLAYED copy dates from late 1969 and is on that '1-EMI-box' Parlophone label: PCS 3062

Both labels rim texts begin: 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' with 'Made In Gt. Britain' around the bottom.

Housed in an outer laminated, inner-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with an outline front stereo indicator.

Complete with its original red & white EMI inner-sleeve depicting Beatles, McCartney & Ringo LPs.

Matrix numbers: YEX 142-1 & YEX 143-1 (the same as the 1964 1st pressing)

Stamper codes: 4/HH & 1,6/MG

Vinyl weight: 143g

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

No spindle marks or wear to either centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Immaculate deep-gloss surfaces which are MINT in strong daylight with only a few faint wispy paper hairlines visible directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Pressed on thick quality vinyl, both sides of which lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Play: MINT

This copy is UNPLAYED.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A 1st-class example of this fragile cover which displays no creasing or wear to the delicate front leaf. There is a small area of laminate lift on either side of the spine but no other signs of wear. The inside is immaculate and unmarked with the only fault being two small stresses at either end of the vulnerable centre hinge. The rear panel is clean & gloss with a faint disc impression but the spine is fully laminated and worded. There are no stresses or splits to any seam.

Inner-sleeve

NEAR MINT

Clean & white with a faint disc impression but no major faults.

**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 6.50 GBP**

My grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.

I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
