1968 Mono Press

Apple Records.  Cat. No: PMC 7068

Matrix Numbers/Mothers/Stampers:

Side 3: XEX 711-1  2GM

Vinyl Appearance (Under a Strong Light):
Side 1: Couple of light hairlines.
Side 2: Couple of light hairlines.
Side 3: Some more obvious marks, non-feelable, and one feelable scratch across Tracks 2, 3, 4 &5.
Side 4: Some light hairlines and three more obvious, non-feelable, scratches.
Vinyl Sound:
There are no skips or jumps on any of the four sides of the album.
Each track plays very good+/excellent except as noted below:
Side 1: There are some light ticks at some time on all first 4 tracks.
Side 2: Three ticks at the end of Tr.2.
Side 3: Light ticks at some point on all of the tracks except Tr.1, with clicks at the end of Tr.4 leading into Tr.5 and noticeable up to half way through.
Side 4: Three clicks at the end of Tr.4.
The light ticks are just background and did not interfere with my enjoyment of the record. The clicks are noticeable on 'Sexy Sadie' but are not loud 'thumps'!
I have listened to the album with the mono switch on my preamp both on and off. These observations were made with the mono switch off. With the mono switch on the ticks etc. become less noticeable.
Labels: Side 1 has a tear in the label, apparently from new (See Picture 7). The other three labels are unmarked. All four labels have 'Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions, see price lists' and 'An EMI Recording' on them.
Sleeve: Top loading laminated gatefold. Numbered 0154735 (See Picture 3) with 'The Beatles' embossed upon it. Both the front and back have ring wear and a number of scratches/marks (See Pictures 1 & 2). The inside of the gatefold is unmarked (See Picture 4).
Inners: The original black inners have a number of tears and cuts in them and one is completely split down one side (See Pictures 11 & 12). They are only in fair condition. The records have been kept in white, poly. lined inners which are included.
Pictures: John's picture has some creasing - the other three are unmarked - all have no pinholes (See Picture 5).
Poster: Unmarked with no pinholes, however some of the folds have begun to tear slightly both in the centre and at the edges.
I have tried to cover everything in my description, but if the buyer disagrees with what I have said, I do offer a refund. Please email me, if necessary, before leaving feedback to resolve any problems.
