Description

This is a lovely original UK stereo first pressing of The Beatles "Beatles for Sale" LP from 1964 on the Black & Yellow Parlophone label. The laminated gatefold sleeve, with large outline stereo, is EXCELLENT PLUS condition, fully intact with just a few very small laminate creases to the front and a small crease on the bottom right corner. Under bright light you can see several horizontal traces across the front and back covers, this looks like a manufacturing defect and doesn't spoil a great fresh looking cover. The spine is fully intact and readable with the correct "pinches" to top and bottom. The labels are lovely and clean and carry the "GRAMOPHONE CO.." & "Sold in the UK.. " credits.The vinyl is beautifully clean and glossy, just a few light hairlines visible under very bright light, it plays superbly too, just some very light crackle between tracks in places but nothing that interferes with or spoils the music, no distortion, loud pops, clicks, jumps or sticks. Graded MINT MINUS. The polylined EMITEX inner is also in MINT MINUS condition. A really top copy of this first Stereo pressing

I have been a collector for any years and a now selling most of my vinyl to fund a change of career. All records are thoroughly cleaned on my ClearAudio Smart Matrix machine and then carefully played on a Rega Planar 3 deck with Goldring cartridge. I use strict RC gradings with plus and minus to indicate variation and all records are sent out in professional mailers. I offer a full refund minus return postage should you not be satisfied with how I've graded a record.
