 "PARLOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT WITH "SOLD IN THE UK" AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" LABEL TEXT
REPUTEDLY ONE OF THE HARDEST  BEATLES STEREO PRESSING ALBUMS TO FIND
EARLY FIRST PRESSING WITH CHUBBY TEXT FONT MORE NOTICABLE ON THE CATALOGUE NUMBER PLUS THE SILVER STEREO TEXT IS CLOSE TO THE YELLOW PARLOPHONE TEXT AND EQUIDISTANT ABOVE IT WITH THE 33 1/3 TEXT
LAMINATED FRONT AND FOLDOVER SEAM 'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE' SLEEVE IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION 'STEREO' TEXT IN BLACK AT THE TOP RIGHT SIDE
 THERE HAS HOWEVER BEEN A SMALL REPAIR TO THE OPENING EDGE ABOUT THREE INCHES DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE AROUND THE AREA OF JOHN'S SHOULDER AND THERE IS ALSO SOME CREASING DOWN THE OPENING EDGE WITH SMALLER CREASES AROUND THE OTHER SEAMS THIS IS ONLY VISIBLE ON THE FRONT AND ARE HANDLING MARKS AQUIRED FROM OVER 60 YEARS OF LIFE I WOULD THINK
 THE SLEEVE REAR SHOWS A CLEAN LEGIBLE INNER PANEL WITH UNBROKEN FOLDOVER SEAMS WITH THE ADDITTION OF A SHOP STICKER AT THE BASE OF THE SLEEVE AND A SMALL HAND WRITTEN STORAGE NUMBER ? TOP LEFT

 EMITEX INNER IS NICE AND CLEAN WITH JUST A LITTLE AGE FADING / FOXING
VINYL RECORD HAS AN EXCELLENT GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES WITH JUST ODD LIGHT VERY HANDLING  MARKS NOTHING FEELABLE OR THAT SEEMS TO AFFECT THE AUDIO
THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN THE CENTREHOLE IS UNWORN BUT THE CENTREHOLE AREA ON SIDE 2 DOES SHOW SOMEVERY  LIGHT MARKS   ANY SPINDLE MARKS A FEW MORE TO SIDE 2 THAN SIDE 1 ARE CONFINED TO THE CENTREHOLE AREA
THE KT TAX CODE IS STILL BLACK IN COLOUR AND BEING A HIGH POINT ON THE LABEL USUALLY WEARS AWAY FIRST TO THE WHITE PAPER UNDERNEATH
A PLAY TEST OF THE RECORD PRODUCEC QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES WITH EXCELLENT AUDIO AND WAS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO
EARLY STEREO COPIES ARE HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS AS SO MANY ARE IN COLLECTIONS
WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW SO WE CAN ONLY REALLY COMMENT ON WHAT WE HEAR AND PLEASE REMEMBER THIS PRESSING IS NOW SIXTY YEARS OLD
