THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
This top sounding UK pressing of their second album dates from 1964 and is on the yellow & black Parlophone label: PMC 1202
Both labels carry 'The Parlophone Co..' worded rim texts and have the 'Dominion. Belinda..' publishing credit for the song 'Money'.
The side 2 label bears a different layout than most pressings of this LP from this date. The key detail being line 6 which begins: '6. DEVIL IN HER HEART'...
Most labels begin that line with the word; 'Songs..'
Matrices: XEX 447-7N & XEX 448-7N
Stamper codes: 3,10,17/DPG (crossed out) GPD
Vinyl weight: 141g
Housed in front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed mono cover, with track 3 on the side 2 track-listing spelt as 'You Really Got A Hold On Me'.
Complete with original poly-lined 'Use Emitex...' inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
VINYL
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are clean & bright with some light wear to the centre holes and some faint marking on label 1 from long-term contact with the inner-sleeve.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces with no noticeable blemishes or wear in strong daylight and only some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines visible directly beneath halogen light.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
Played with care on good equipment only, all tracks play cleanly and clearly with no trace of any groove/playwear distortion. Our careful play-check detected a hint of low-level vinyl background on 'Til There Was You' and two light ticks in the band between tracks 1 & 2 on side 2. Apart from those very minor distractions, there is nothing more to fault on this great sounding disc.
A clean & strong example of this iconic cover which retains a clean, unyellowed front panel and a high-gloss laminate bearing a hint of storagewear. There is a soft bend towards the upper right corner and a little shelfwear bruising to the lower corners, but no damage to either opening edge. The rear panel is unusually clean and blemish-free with no writing, stickers or missing paper. All flipbacks are undamaged and in-place and both seams and the spine are smooth & unstressed.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with light storage wrinkles only.
