Description
THE BEATLES WITH THE BEATLES ( AUSTRALIA - PCSO 3045 )
COLUMBIA LABELS ERROR
The 'EMI (Aust)' Columbia-labelled pressing of With The Beatles is one of the more infamous LP's of the Australian Beatles-vinyl catalogue. The application of orange Columbia, instead of orange Parlophone, labels on a small run of With The Beatles LP's was the result of human-error.
CONDITION
VINYL: EX+
LP is clean and flat Both sides look unplayed
LABELS: EX+ (Side 1) VG+ (Side 2) The part of the Side-2 label which is pressed into the groove of the inner-ring, shows wear; in the absence of wear anywhere else on the label, I find it difficult to believe that this is 'usage wear' and suggest that the scoring occurred at the point the label was pressed onto the vinyl.
See 'gallery' pictures for scans of the labels In the absence of 'spindle trails', it can be assumed that any shortcoming is 'as manufactured'
SLEEVE: VG+ the front of the sleeve is unblemished (printing artefacts notwithstanding) the spine is in superb condition and without wear
the sleeve has a bit of light staining on the rear there is wear to the top seam BEAR IN MIND THAT THE SLEEVE IS THE BOG-STANDARD 'CODE 304' VERSION AND CAN EASILY BE UPGRADED AT MINIMAL ADDITIONAL COST. THE LABELS ON THE VINYL ARE THE COLLECTABLE ELEMENT.
I REFUND ANY EXCESS 'SHIPPING' OVER THE 'ACTUAL' COST OF SHIPPING (i.e. amount above AusPost's mailing charges + cost of packing materials such as bubble-wrap, mailing box)
