Description
MEGA RARE!! “With the Beatles” LP. Original 1963 UK. MONO. RARE!! Cover error. “Gotta Hold…”
Very earliest 2nd PRESSING!!
Up for auction is this RARE cover error version of this great Beatles second offering album. Side two, track three reads, “You really gotta hold on me” and should read, “You really got a hold on me”.
This album has of course been played and shows some light indiscretions both to the outer cover and the vinyl. BUT, I must stress that these anomalies are only slight and the sounds are otherwise quite superb.
COVER: EX+. With just a hint of age discolouration, otherwise totally intact and the front showing a top gloss finish.
VINYL: Just a couple of light scuffs or faint stylus marks are present which do not affect the superb quality of play. Still retains its just pressed glossy sheen and is perfectly flat with no warps, skips or jumps. Graded: a very strong EX+.
LABELS: EX+, but shows a name written in black biro on each label which is virtually indistinguishable against the background of the black label.
MATRIX NUMBERS: SIDE ONE: XEX 447 – 7N
SIDE TWO: XEX 448 – 7N
STAMPERS: SIDE ONE : 3 7 GAD
SIDE TWO : 1 GRT
INNER SLEEVE: Original excellent “Emitex” type.
AUDIO: Superb thumping MONO sounds with virtually no distortions whatsoever.
To sum up. This album is of course not mint, but is still in lovely condition and very much deserving of a good home and should not be ignored, if only for its rarity value alone. With this error on the cover, it is a MUST HAVE item for your collection.
This rare album does not surface very often, so don’t miss out. Grab yourself a large slice of great musical history - and enjoy!!
BEST OF LUCK. AND HAPPY BIDDING.
