The Beatles 

•  With the Beatles  •

Label / Catalog Number:  Parlophone - EMI PCS 3045

1969 UK "1-Box" pressing

Near Mint vinyl  /  NM cover

(USA Seller)

Description:

Artist: The Beatles

Title: With the Beatles

Label: Parlophone / EMI

Catalog Number: PCS 3045

Country: UK

Issue: 1969 UK "1-Box" pressing

Vinyl Grade: Near Mint, a BEAUTIFUL example.  Vinyl shines like new, with NO marks when examined under a light and tilted at various angles to the light.  There are NO spindle marks on the Side One label (see photos), and just one or two spindle marks on Side Two label (can't tell for sure, please see close-up photos).  Nice, heavy vintage UK vinyl, LP weighs 150g.  You just hardly ever see these vintage Beatles LPs with such pristine labels and vinyl.

Matrices:

Side One:                YEX 110-2             O A   (at 3 o’clock)                 3 over 5   (at 9 o’clock)                     

Cover Grade:  Near Mint (weak NM, due only to overall general "age", but certainly better than VG+).  I don't know how it could be any nicer, considering the fragile nature of these Garrod & Lofthouse covers and being nearly a half-century old!  The spine's upper and lower corners are properly "pinched".  No seam splits, flip-backs are all completely intact, excellent corners, full-gloss laminate front, even the back is still white without being yellowed from age.  It's not "new" like a cover made in 2015, but it's as nice as I have been able to find of this issue in decades of collecting quality record albums.  The record itself has been stored in a separate cardboard cover, to protect the original cover from imprinting the LP (to prevent "ring wear").

Notes: An extraordinary collector condition example of this great album, a genuine UK 1969 pressing on the Parlophone/EMI "1-Box" label, with the -2 / -2 matrixes in the run-out grooves.  If you check my other listings, you will see that I am listing all of my Beatles "1-Box" pressings, they are the best condition examples of each album that I have found.  It could be years before you find another example in similar condition.

Free eBook:

Packaging (open LPs): The album will be removed from the cover to eliminate the possibility of seam-splits.  The LP and cover are placed in a clear outer protective sleeve, and sealed.  The (now sealed) album is then sandwiched between two large cardboard stiffener pads, carefully centered and taped together.  This keeps the LP stationary and the album cover centered, allowing the oversized cardboard reinforcement pads to protect the edges and corners of the cover from dings. 

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.
