Description
An original very 1st press of SUBMARINE on UK Apple from late 1969. Matrix 1/1. Note the labels mention 'Solid In The UK' Statement - this is proof of 1st press. In fact, the very earliest copies of YS will have been pressed late 1969. You can pick these copies out with a couple of indicators. Firstly, 1st issue covers must have the Red double tram lines on the rear. But VERY earliest 1st copies DO NOT mention the printers credit down in the bottom right on the rear [like this example]. PLEASE NOTE - whilst this is a VERY early cover [printed December 1969] it is, in fact, THE MONO VERSION. A technical mismatch - but more than acceptable given the rarity aspect and super preservation. We also have the original black Apple inner sleeve too.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex-) In superb condition and has only seen light careful use. YS is one of the fussiest darn Beatles records there is - and you'll need a prodigiously well preserved 1st press to get half a chance at a decent rendition. Under close inspection there are just a few very light marks per side - absolutely nothing troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with very slightest deviation occasionally on side 2. A clean signal 1st press will definitely deliver the goods...but how often do you actually get to witness one? Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity. I've listened to a few of these proper 1st copies - and this is most certainly within the top couple I've ever witnessed. Anyone who is into classical - will be well aware of just how difficult it is to find 60's orchestral pressings in tip top condition. All I can make out is just some very low-level 'presence' occasionally during 'Sea of Time' and 'Monsters'. Absolutely nothing that noticeable at all - only very low-level type stuff. You can crank it right up - and it WILL entertain BIGLY. One, that I think, is truly very difficult to track down. Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg+) Truly a total pain in the back side to find in top class condition. I can't tell you how many original copies there are out there that are quite frankly knackered. Occasionally - yes very occasionally you get a decent one. Take a look at the rear.... and then take a look at some of the other examples on-line. There's precious little ageing in reality - just a touch at the opening. Many examples will just not look this good. Nice shiny front which is relatively unaged. Just one tiny stain at the opening - up on that right edge. All flipbacks are intact and secure. The spine is fully intact with all text legible - a couple of tiny stress creases. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg) In decent condition with a couple of side splits - that have been tape secured.
