ATTENTION HOLLIES AND 1960s LP COLLECTORS!  HERE IS A 1964 MONO EDITION OF THE BAND'S 1ST ALBUM: "STAY WITH THE HOLLIES"PRESSED UP WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE-50 YEARS AGO  WITH THE SOLD IN THE UK TEXT AND THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AND THE EARLY RAISED PRINT J T TAX CODE ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL-NOT ON LATER REPRESSES!

THIS COPY HAS HAD A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT STILL SOUNDS GREAT!

STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT! NATURALLY THE DISC HAS THE EARLIEST YELLOW/BLACK LABELS-LATER ONES HAD SILVER/BLACK LABELS.

THIS COPY HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH SOME  REMOVAL HAIRLINE TYPE SURFACE MARKS  BUT APART FROM A FEW ISOLATED FAINT"POPS"AND SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS,I COULDN'T HEAR ANY LOUD CLICKS! ALSO NO STICKS OR JUMPS! SOME MINIMAL SURFACE CRACKLE WHEN LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULLY ON TO HEAR IT AT IT'S WORSE POSSIBLE AND TO PREVENT ANY OVERGRADING!EMI'S MASTERING AND DEEP CUT LOUD AND BASS FILLED,THICK VINYL WAS VERY HARDY AT THIS TIME RATHER THAN THE LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES OFTEN CUT AT A LOWER VOLUME AND AS SUCH THE "BLINDFOLD" TEST WOULD MERIT A HIGHER GRADE BUT I WANT THE WINNING BIDDER TO CONSIDER IT "BETTER THAN EXPECTED".PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. HOUSED IN THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE POLYLINED PAPER EMITEX INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN AND HAS THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER! THIS IS HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT COVER WITH THE FLIPBACK AND "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD. THERE ARE A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND SOME FAINT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

UK EMI PRESSED PARLOPHONE PMC 1220 WITH THICK VINYL+THE PARLOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXT. THERE IS A TINY AMOUNT OF SPINDLE WEAR BUT UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS WHO "INK IN",I LEAVE THIS TO THE BUYER TO DO IF SO DESIRED!

MOST COPIES SOLD 49 YEARS AGO IN 1964 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE STILL HAS GREAT SOLID MONO SOUND! NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST HOLLIES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH EDITIONS!GREAT INVESTMENT AND GETTING QUITE RARE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!!

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY HOLLIES COLLECTION!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
