The Beatles : Vinyl Collection (All First Pressings!)

With The Beatles (Jobete) / A Hard Day's Night / Help / Rubber Soul (Loud Cut) / Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

A rare Beatles first press collection on offer here - all are UK releases and overall they are in excellent condition.

I have played every record and I am pleased to say there are no 'duds' here!  As I have said previously I do not poor quality LPs just to get rid of them!  There is some 'background' here and there but there are certainly no loud clicks or pops and no sticks or jumps.

The real highlight here is the Loud Cut edition of 'Rubber Soul' which is a very collectable album of course.  The clarity and depth of the audio is very impressive and much of it plays to a Near Mint standard.  The other first pressings are all graded below and only 'Sgt. Pepper's...' has a little more interference.  As 'With The Beatles' is a genuine first press it has the 'Jobete' credit for 'Money' on the S2 label and the majority plays to an excellent standard.

The vinyls do have some hairlines and a handful of hairline scuffs but none of them are in poor condition.  It is what you would expect to find on records that have been played.  There are no actual scratches and all still have a glossy sheen.  I would say 'Sgt. Pepper's' has more hairlines but again it has no scratches.  All of course have the yellow / black Parlophone labels.

The covers are in VG+ to Ex+ condition.  Only 'With The Beatles' has some obvious marking on the back and 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help' in particular are very clean.  The former would be Ex+ but for some a couple of frustrating pin holes!  'Sgt. Pepper's...' is also in superb condition and is the thin spine version.  This album has a perfect cut out although the 'red' inner has not fared so well.  All of the others include their original Emitex inners which range from Ex- to Ex+  

A fine collection overall and it's not often you find 5 first pressings together!

Due to recent price increases shipping to the USA has increased - please wait for the invoice
