BEATLES UK - WITH THE BEATLES, MONO - Jobete.

1963 PMC 1206 -  YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL.

A very first UK Mono album in 100% original condition.  Featuring a very early  ‘Dark and Grainy’  front sleeve photo shot, now considered to be  a misprint,  making  the group look as if they are wearing make up !.  This sleeve photo was soon changed to  a much lighter photo.

The label shows the misprint for the publishing credit for the song  ‘Money’, as this  is shown as ‘Jobete’,  this  error was unique to these first press Mono 1/1 matrix records and again it was soon corrected !.

CONDITION:

MAIN SLEEVE:  is in very good++ condition, housed in the correct early front laminated sleeve, with a large black ‘solid’  Mono on the front.  It features a tri flipback design to the rear.     The spine  is  very good and all the text is 100% clear, there is a small ‘nick’ on the spine.  The unlaminated rear of the sleeve is very clean and white for its age, there is  NO  pen writing,  tears or stains,   a very solid and original untouched sleeve.  The sleeve features the incorrect spelling of ‘GOTTA’, for the track, ‘You really GOT a hold on me’ !. 

INNER SLEEVE: is in near excellent condition and is the original polylined  Emitex sleeve, it is very clean and white for its age.   There is NO edge wear,  Pen writing,  tears or stains.

VINYL:  side One is in very good+  condition,  side Two  is in very good-  condition,  the vinyl  is of the period sixties  ‘thick, heavy’  type,  it is dark and has a high gloss.  The Matrix nos. are:   XEX 447 – 1N   and   XEX 448 – 1N,   the Mother/Stampers are:    ‘ 4   G  L ’  and  ‘ 5   A  M ’.

AUDIO:   side One is very good+,   side Two the audio is  very good-,  it plays really well all the way through,  it lays flat on the turntable and plays with NO jumps or skips.  It plays with a terrific powerful period Mono sound.  On side Two there is some crackle and the odd isolated  ‘tick’ to be heard.

THE LABELS:  are  in near excellent condition,  there is a ‘KT’ embossed on side Two of the label.   The  label says  ‘ You really Gotta a hold on me’  this spelling of  ‘GOTTA’ was a  mistake and the label together with the sleeve were soon corrected.    The label also has  another  mistake, the  publishing credit for the song  Money is show as   ‘Jobete’,  this  is unique to these first Mono pressings and again  it was soon corrected !.

***************

Unfortunately as you will see from my feedback,   I have received One negative feedback recently.   This is due to the fact that I followed Ebay policy and reported  an Ebay member for non payment and in turn I have received this feedback !, while this Ebay member carries on trading unaffected !,    I am disgusted that Ebay has let this happen !

***************

To fairly grade the condition of the record, I am using the official grading system from the Record Collector Magazine.

Grading System

The seven standard condition categories and a description of what each one means are listed below:

MINT: 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.

EXCELLENT: 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: 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: 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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just 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: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

+  or  – :  indicates a grading in between categories.
