Very Very Rare Stampers with the KT Tax Stamp in the punch out. These are Stampers that I never seen before on just one record.
Record grades a / VG++ Near Excellent. I would grade it as excellent if it wasn't for one very minor needle scratch on the Love Me Do Side that does not effect the playback of the record. There are no skip or jumps. Just an amazing sound for a record almost 40 yrs. old.
Record under bright light shows just very minor scuffs from being placed in it's sleeve over the years.
Record still has its high gloss sheen to it. I have listened to this record on 3 different turntables and the sound is absolutely beautiful. Very very little background noice in the dead wax at the beginning and in the runoff of the record. There is absolutely no background noise in the music that I could hear and I played it at high volume and low volume both and the sound was absolutely amazing for a record from 1962 a 39 yr. old record that surely wasn't played much over the years.
Labels are free from any writing, stickers or tape residue. They are very bright and clean and free from any fading or pealing. All printing is still very legible.
Original Parlophone type 2 sleeve. There are no rips or tears in the sides or the bottom of the sleeve. Just the slightest of wear at the mouth of the sleeve.Sleeve does have some handling wear to it. Sleeve grades as vg+
I will include a Parlophone type 1 repop with it so you can place the record in it and save the original.
You will never find another like this unless you find a mint record. Highly doubtful !!! But possible and paying a fortune for it to get it in your collection. Any collector would be proud to own this record. This is (not) a filler for your collection.
I will ship this record just about anywhere in the world with a few exceptions !
If you're a Beatles record collector you would love this one for your collection as mint and mint- records of this song are very very hard to come by and if you do find one in Excellent condition your going to pay out the you know what for it. So if you want one that sounds great and looks great don't let this one get away.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
Three letters, using the table below:
G=1
R=2
A=3
M=4
O=5
P=6
H=7
L=8
T=9
D=0
These letters are derived from the phrase “Gramophone Ltd." and the letters may appear individually or in combination with others. Each stamper was usually used to press 300-500 discs, and then it was discarded and replaced with a new one. The first 300-500 copies of a given title, for instance, would have the letter "G" stamped in the vinyl at the 3 o'clock position. The next 300 500 copies would use a stamper
If you live in another country other than the US please message me for a shipping cost. If the record gets to a certain price I will consider shipping for free.
