Description
The main differentiator of this early pressing, compared to later versions, is the black and yellow Parlophone label with the perimeter rim copyright text, 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD • ALL RIGHTS OF THE MANUFACTURER AND OF THE OWNER OF THE RECORDING WORK RESERVED • UNAUTHORISED PUBLIC PERFORMANCE BROADCASTING AND COPYING OF THIS RECORD PROHIBITED'. Above the spindle hole the centre text, 'SOLD IN THE U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LIST Label: 1 - Has a 'chubby' font with the right-hand side indicator numerals appearing under the '2' in the catalogue number 'PMC 1230' above them. 2 - The publishing copyright date is given as 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964', and is nearly left-aligned compared to the matrix number above it. 3 - The group's name 'THE BEATLES' is closer to the 'Northern Songs Music Ltd.' publishing credit below it than the '(Lennon-McCartney)' credit above it. 4 - A2 'I Should Have Known Better' has it's title split over 2 lines. 5 - All of the song titles on side 2 appear on separate lines. 6 - The MT purchase tax code embossing on the label on side 1 of the spindle hole. Condition Record: Has a few small scratches and hairlines that do not affect the sound at all. There is no crackling during playbacks, and only occasionally a little can be heard during pauses. Dynamics are excellent. Sounds a lot better than it looks! :) Condition is VG++. Cover. The cover is in very decent condition and would have been rated by me at least as VG++, but since there is an inscription on the back - only VG, All other details can be seen in the photos. This has never been in a smoke-filled room. A great purchase for Beatles fans and collectors.
