Chances are if you are reading this you know about the joys of Beatles First Pressing variations on these early albums.  Basically there are many different iterations where song credits were changed as people started to file court cases against them.  This is a very early iteration with lots of the original credits.  Please see below description that is fully applicable to this example:
This 1st pressing has 2 main differentiators, present on the label, compared to other early pressings:

1 - The title of track B3 is given as 'You Really Gotta [instead of: 'Got A'] Hold On Me'.
2 - The publishing credit for track B7 'Money' is given as 'Jobete Mus. NCB'.

Please also note the following differentiators:

1 - A black & yellow Parlophone label with the following perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD...', and the text 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side indicator numeral.
2 - The cover is printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., and has a large 'MONO' indicator on the front, top, right hand corner.
3 - The cover has a 'dark' underexposed image.
4 - The KT tax code on this release, embossed on the label each side of the spindle hole.

This is a very well preserved copy of a historical and collectable record which will continue to grow in value.  The physical condition of the record and sleeve are particularly good with the record obviously having been enjoyed and so can continue to be enjoyed guilt free unlike an uber expensive minty copy.  I've bought and collected hundreds of Beatles records and these early pressings are always played to death unless you spend a small fortune so this is a great middle ground for todays market. All of my records are play tested on a Project Debut Carbon with 2M Red stylus which is quite revealing so any sound defects may be more exaggerated than on other more mainstream players.  Or conversely if you are a full on audiophile I will let you judge how your set up compares and how you envisage the sound will compare.
I don't currently have access to a cleaning machine so please forgive any dust or finger marks which are on any of my records - hopefully will be investing in one at some point.
Record Appearance - VG+ In the context of early Beatles records this is in wonderful condition knocking on the door of Near Mint.  Lots of glossy shine and just a handful of marks when viewing under a bright light. The labels which have all the important markings above are in perfect condition with just the usual wear around the spindle hole.  There is a very faint felt pen writing of T3 either side of the pound sign logo, presumably to remind them that this is the rare version with the title error on track 3, some people shouldn't be let near records!!
Record Audio - VG/VG+ For the most part this is a nice VG+ with light surface noise on quieter moments but does become more pronounced on occasion.  There is a blink and you miss it skip on Roll Over Beethoven, but nothing else.  Overall though it is a very enjoyable listen with the loud raw mono sound shining through.  I don't think in 1963 they were worried about people listening to these records 50+ years later expecting perfect playback.  If you want that I highly recommend the Canadian pressing of Beatlemania which is the same album.
Record Sleeve - VG Really strong VG condition with the original laminate doing a fine job of preserving the edges and spine with just expected shelf wear nicely hidden by the white back ground.  Interestingly (for me at least) there is an identation of "The Seekers - The Talk of the Town" in the laminate in the middle of the front cover when held at an angle in the light, not sure how that would have got there.  The spine is nice and strong with a very clear album title.  The white has some discolouration as would be expected after 50 years unless you locked it in a vacuum sealed safe.  The inner sleeve is an original Emtex and is in good condition with a couple of clear tape repairs to small tears and a few crinkles.
All questions answered and offers considered.  Thanks for looking and please follow me and check out my other listings as they appear.  I work full time and have 3 children so please forgive any delay in communication but should be within 24 hours.
I have a particular passion for Beatles and related so if there is something particular you are after I may be able to get my hands on it for you very quickly.  My local dealer has at least 1000 Beatles related vinyl just to name one source.
