Description
THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
This superb sounding copy is a UK early 2nd pressing dating from late 1963 on the yellow & black Parlophone label: PMC 1206
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but have 'The Parlophone Co...' rims.
The side 2 label carries the corrected 'Dominion. Belinda' publishing credit for 'Money'.
The 'KT' purchase tax code is present in the centre of the side 1 label.
Unusual matrix number combination: XEX 447-4N & XEX 448-3N
Stamper codes: 2/O & 1/T
Vinyl weight: 177g
The disc is housed within the scarcer front laminated, tri-flipback 'Ernest J. Day' cover with a large front mono indicator.
Complete with its original poly-lined 'Use Emitex...' inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & bright set with a little wear around each centre hole but only a handful of faint spindle trails around each.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Spectacular deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' and totally unmarked in strong daylight with not a single scuff, mark or scratch in sight. Even close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp fails to reveal any thing more than one or two barely visible paper hairlines. Both sides of this extremely heavy disc lie 100% flat both sides on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This wonderful sounding copy has clearly been barely played and every track is free from any groove/playwear distortion. My single careful play-check at volume detected just a hint of normal low-level vinyl background between tracks, but not a single clicks, pop or any other audible distraction whatsoever.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
A strong, unworn unworn example which retains a clean, high-gloss front panel which is free from any 'thumbnails', wrinkles or other wear. There is a touch of shelfwear rubbing to the lower corners but no bumps or bruising to any - nor is there any wear to either of the opening edges. All corners are square and unbumped and both opening edges are unworn and undamaged. Unfortunately, the rear panel is discoloured from age and has significant foxing all over. The original retailer's sticker is still in-place and there is no writing or missing paper. All of the delicate flipbacks are fully intact and undamaged.
Both seams & the spine are unstressed and unworn with all wording present and readable.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some light storage wrinkles but no writing, seam splits or tears.
