The Beatles vinyl 7" Hey Jude b/w Revolution Apple R5722 UK Pye Contract Copy
This record has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki RCM and test played to be graded.
Pressed by Pye: “Hey Jude”, R 5722 (see Apple singles).
Pye probably had a limited capacity to press records, because there are a lot of contract-pressed Pye records and almost no records contract-pressed by them. However, one of the reasons why so few contract pressings by Pye have been found could be because of the similarity to Decca pressings. These are its distinguishing characteristics:
1. There is no tax code around the centre hole on either side of the disc.
2. The ridge is approximately 2.5mm in from the edge of the push-out centre or about 10mm out from the center hole.
3. The secondary ridge runs right on the very edge next to the triangular centre attachments. You can only see a second ridge at the base of these triangular shapes and *extremely* flush against the edge gap, whereas on the Decca discs this ridge is clearly visible around the extreme edge rim of the pushout section. This is consistent with all Decca and Pye discs.
4. The gap between the push-out centre and the main body of the disc is approximately 2.25mm.
5. The tax code can be found at the 12 o’clock position.
6. The mother plate number (either single or double figured) is at the 9 o’clock position.
7. A hand-etched letter has been scratched in at the 3 o’clock position. This does NOT appear on the Decca contract pressings.
Hey Jude vinyl 7" EP single. Vinyl is Side 1 Excellent- / Side 2 Excellent. There a single quite loud pop at the very end of the long fade out on Side 1.
This single has the tax code at 12 o'clock. The mother plate number is at 9 o'clock and there is a hand etched letter at 3 o'clock. There is no tax code around the centre hole. The ridges and gaps are, approximately, as above.
Black Apple Company Sleeve is Very Good (some creasing and small tears). I will try to find a better one but I can't promise anything.
------------------
Grading system used:-
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or
defaced.
Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
