Description
Collectable Australian 1st Press October 1969 with misprint pinkish cover.
The first covers in October 1969 suffer from a printing error in which too much red was applied. The misprint gives the cover a pinkish hue. The printing error was corrected quickly with November 1969 covers onwards to correct the so called “blood stain" between Ringo & John and an overall pinkish hue. The “blood stain/pinkish hue” was part of the rumour that Paul was dead, only appeared on this Australian 1st October press. On this cover, and a couple of others that I have, the road surrounds, the road and road white line has a very noticeable pinkish hue and the road white line is very pink, however the so called “blood stain” on the road is not that convincing.
Side 1 runout is YEX 749-2 and side 2 runout is YEX 750-1 Cat # PCSO-7088 on labels, Cat # PCSO 7088 on sleeve spine.
Vinyl Grade: VG, a high VG, good gloss but many light scratches both sides, no scratches that especially stand out apart from one on side 1 tracks four and five.
Sound Quality: +VG, fully play tested, some light surface noise in places but overall great sound quality. No nasty clicks or pops.
Cover: EX excellent cover, nice and flat, no damage.
Labels: clear, no spindle wear.
Records graded directly under very bright table light for the visual grade. Sound quality checked by playing to ensure that visual grade and sound quality are consistent.
Mint M and Near Mint NM: Looks perfect as new. N and NM is only appropriate for new reissue records and not for vintage vinyl that has been played, regardless of how perfect it may look.
Excellent Plus +EX: Lovely gloss, no visible scratches, scuffs or marks. Has been played but has been handled well and still in great condition. (highest grade that I use for vintage vinyl)
Excellent EX: Lovely gloss, shows some slight signs of wear, including light trace/hairlines from the inner sleeve, light scuffs or very light marks that you would not expect to hear as surface noise.
Very Good Plus +VG: Shows a few more very light marks than is allowable for EX so not quite EX. These signs of use would be expected to cause some light surface noise but not to detract from the music.
Very Good VG: Shows light scratches and marks and some that you would expect to cause surface noise, especially in soft passages, between tracks and during a song?s intro and ending but not so much as to overpower the music which can still be enjoyed.
Very Good Minus -VG: Shows significant wear and marks that you would expect to cause noticeable surface noise that detracts from the music.
Good G: In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records lacking much of the original gloss and with many scratches and marks that you would expect to cause very noticeable surface noise and clicks/pops that seriously detract from enjoyment of the music.
