THE BEATLES
'SECOND ALBUM '
UK 1st **EXPORT** PRESSING LP
This very rare 1st EXPORT pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: CPCS 103
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Gramophone Co Ltd...' rims.
There is no tax/price code is visible on either label.
N.B. This copy uses the American 'Dave Dexter Jr' mixes.
Housed in a correct front laminated, 'tri-flipback' cover Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending' cover .
Complete with its original white 'Patents Pending' inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEEX 110-A9 & YEEX 111-A9
Stamper numbers: 1/A & 1/A
Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean, bright and glossy surfaces bearing just a few very small and light marks directly under a halogen desk lamp.
However, this copy has been carefully handled and seldom played and there are no large or heavy scuffs or scratches.
The disc lies 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT
The huge sounding U.S. mix plays superbly without any traces of crackle or groovewear distortion.
There are are a few very soft low-level ticks between some tracks but no loud clicks, pops, hiss, jumps or repeats anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT MINUS
A respectable example of this rare cover which bears just light handling and storage wear only.
The front panel retains its high-gloss laminate displaying just a few edge wrinkles but no creases or 'thumbnails'.
The upper left corner has some wear but the opening edges are clean, sharp and unworn with no tears or 'feathering'.
The rear panel clean and white with a tiny 'm' written next to the 'Please, Mr Postman' title and a small sticker removal mark in the upper right corner.
All flipbacks and seams are intact and undamaged, and the spine is square .clean and readable.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
