Detail
First pressing. August 6, 1965. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” prnted at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Capitol print. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With or without KT tax code on the label. Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 549-2; Side 2: XEX 550-2.
Variation A. For the first labels used Time New Roman font. Small “The Beatles” band name on both sides of the label. Most curiously on side 1 the “Northern Songs, NCB” credit appears below the band name! The side 2 layout differs from the other TNR variants. It is believed this is the first TNR label that appeared and the side 2 error was soon rectified.
Condition
Condition of Vinyl:. Have not played this through as was my parents. There are many light lines and marks as pictured but absolutely nothing audible from them as such. Look far worse than they are and nothing deep.
Condition of Labels: The Yellow & Black Parlophone Labels are both in excellent clean condition, with light spindle marks, as pictured
Condition of Outer Sleeve: The original outer sleeve is in good Condition for its age.
Condition of Inner Sleeve: Not bad for 55 years, but remains clean with one split to the edge.
