THE BEATLES
ORIGINAL 1st 1967 UK MONO PRESS
Catalogue no. PMC 7027
Yellow and Black Parlophone Labels

The Sleeve: Neat original Flipback sleeve in Excellent- Condition.
No pen marks or writing imprints, laminated with unusually only a few very light half-moon surface creases. No tears or rips, mild storage wear to one corner on reverse.
All text legible and pictorials clear and glossy. No handwriting or writing imprints inside or outside. The iconic photo inside is superb retaining an umblemished laminate with no creases or marks and still opens with a 'crack'. Printed and and made by Garrod & Lofthouse in 1967.
Cut-Out Card: Original Dark Green cut-out card is in Very Good condition.
The Vinyl: In Excellent- Condition and still retains its glossy finish.
The vinyl has stood the test of time extremely well, with only one ultra light hairline mark and a couple of wispy sleeve/ cleaning trails, of which can only be seen when angled toward close bright light. The surfaces are cosmetically stunning, retaining a bright high gloss sheen and have clearly received few plays. Record is clean and lays flat on the turntable.
Medium weight 146 gram robust sixties vinyl.
Labels are Excellent. Text is clear and bright, and with no spindle traces at all on Side 1, even when when inspected under bight light, the perimeter area around the spindle hole is completely unworn. The label on Side 2 has a very tiny blemish on the the spindle hole perimeter area and a few very small fine spindle traces.
KT tax code from the mid-sixties is embossed. SOLD IN U.K. text across label and
The Gramophone Co. Ltd text around rim.
Stampers: Side 1: 2 AMP
Side 2: 37 AHR
The Audio: Excellent+ quality audio which reflects its appearance. There are no stops, skips, ticks, or pops, and there is very little lessening in the original sound quality, if any at all. Plays smoothly from start to finish with no noticeable background static or any other unwanted noise or certainly none that could overcome any of the audio, even track interludes very quiet with only the rare ultra light static tick on some. A powerful rendition of what is becoming a very hard LP to obtain in anything approaching Excellent.
Clean appearance and fully functional EMI red and white advertising inner from the same year with Patents Applied For text.
