HEAVYWEIGHT QUALITY 156g

It is the much RARER LOUD CUT version which was pulled shortly after it's release in 1965.

These are now becoming increasingly difficult to find-in any condition.

There are only some light, but superficial marks to the vinyl, which are not feelable when gently running across the vinyl with my finger and DO NOT MAKE HER JUMP OR STICK.

After giving her a gentle vacuum clean, as well as an ultrasonic bath, I played her all the way through I certainly didn't find any jumps or skips-just RAW, INCREDIBLY clear sound!

I didn’t notice any loud pops at all, just some occasional light and soft bit of background crackle. There was some mild distortion at the top end of You Couldn’t See Me, but this is characteristic of this LOUD CUT pressing.

She really did sound wonderfully rich and quite desperately raw.

On playback I noticed a slight wobble-slightly more prominent to side 2; which is why I have recorded the first track of this side in the video-you can see exactly how slight the wobble is and also see it didn’t make my needle jump or skip, even when on a light setting.,

Lovely shine and weight.

SHE SOUNDS LOUD!

I was VERY happy with the audio reproduction.

GLORIOUSLY RAW

Labels:

EX.

Nice and clear on both sides.

There are just light spindle marks, visible when angled towards the light.

Barely any central hole wear as can be seen in the images provided.

Lovely and bright.

NO WRITING

Very displayable.

KT Tax Code to side 1.

Cover:

EX!

Shiny front cover...With a back card which REMAINS WHITE TO THIS DAY-now that is rare!

Small original record store sticker to the top on the back.

NO WRITING

VERY strong and clear and clean spine.

Strong corners, with very little rubbing or evidence of storage wear, with the bottom right having evidence of a slight bend at some point.

Really is LOVELY :)

NO SPLITS, RIPS OR TEARS.

Garrod and Lofthouse flipbacks in TOP condition, with very little wear.

I can see only around 7 small crescents of spidering to the front laminate, near the opening. With small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams.

Wonderfully glossy, with vibrant colours.

The back card has just mild age discolouration-like me!

NO WRITING

Please see the detailed images for yourselves.

*A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE HERE*

Inner:

EX-

It is the all ORIGINAL "USE EMITEX" with the poly-lining.

"MADE IN ENGLAND"

Not only that but it has been personalised with some original pictures of The Beatles, cut out from 1960’s magazine publications...Quite cute really, so I did not want to seperate this from her original Emitex Inner as this meant a lot to a fan, back in 1965!

NO WRITING

Small 2cm split to the bottom seam is all.

GREAT CONDITION.

SO-A RARE ALBUM IN GREAT CONDITION THROUGHOUT-PROVIDING A CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO REPRODUCTION!

GETTING HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH GREAT ALL-ROUND CONDITION.

ALL COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL TOO

(Maybe subject to VAT when sold within the EU)
