This is a superb copy of the classic beatles album. An extremely rare First UK JOBETE Pressing, with great vinyl, TOP AUDIO and great cover.

The Beatles second official L.P. release. Two weeks BEFORE release, "With The Beatles" had advance orders of 270,000, and before the first week of release was out, the half-a-million figure had been beaten. They were actually awarded a Silver disc (for sales of 250,000) on November 18th 1963, 4 days BEFORE release ! By mid January 1964 885,000 had been sold in the U.K. and by the end of 1964, the total was 980,000.

The ONE MILLION mark arrived by September 1965, making this album the FIRST EVER British album to sell 1,000,000 copies in the U.K. The American version of this album, Meet The Beatles bizarrely left off five of the tracks, but sold over 5 million copies. This makes combined sales for The Beatles second album of over 6.5 million.

Chart wise, this L.P. replaced "Please Please Me" at the number one slot, and remained there for 21 weeks. This gave The Beatles a continuous run of 51 weeks at the summit !_Also, in these early days of the British charts, ALL product was listed together regardless of format, and therefore this L.P. even made it into the U.K. singles chart, reaching number 11, which was a record placing for an album.

The cover was a very artful half-shadow black-and-white shot of The Beatles taken by Robert Freeman.

ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING: 

Yes – brilliant! -  EXCELLENT PLUS to NEAR MINT sound quality throughout!

This rare record plays up to its visual grading and beyond.  Super Clear Strong Sound, this beautiful record plays with vibrant, TOP audio throughout. Strong, undistorted sound, the frequencies are sharp and clear and free of pops or clicks. AMAZING CLEAR SOUND!

The channels are clean and unstressed with NO evidence of any groove-wear whatsoever. This great vinyl plays with NO pops or clicks during the music. There is some occasional light background static, but it is very light and infrequent. The only slight sound blemish are a few light clicks between tracks one and two, but there are no pops during playback.

The record plays with staggering power, with minimal surface sound during the tracks.  The music jumps out, with definition and clarity, particularly on the percussion instruments, and vocals which come through with tremendous power. As is the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear. 

Super strong sound with minimal distractions, the album plays right through with absolutely NO sticks, jumps or repeating unwanted noises what so ever! This is a great Audio pleasure and I would have to give the Audio at least an EXCELLENT PLUS grading.

A great all round example of this great Beatles vinyl, and a staggering first MONO mix, unlike the re-issues that lack the impact and the clarity of this amazing sound. 

THE RECORD -  EXCELLENT -

A lovely piece of glossy vinyl. Extremely heavy, there are a few faint hairlines and sleeve removal marks, but nothing heavy and nothing that interrupts the sound. This vinyl has an amazing lustre, deep grooves that show no grove wear and no signs of over playing, that is clear from the amazing clear sound. A really nice great example!

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING:

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.

THE COVER – EXCELLENT -

Original cover. With the Beatles was originally published with the misspelling "You Really Gotta Hold on Me", on the track listing on the back of the cover. These were quickly corrected, so the GOTTA covers are increasingly rare. If you are lucky enough to find a first press vinyl, having one with the correct matching cover is even more rare. 

Being the second Beatles album, it is extremely hard to find With the Beatles covers in anything like decent condition. This is a lovely example with only very light corner wear and some light creasing to the laminate.

With the Beatles covers have to be one of the most prone to wear, of all the classic Beatles vinyls from the sixties. The laminate is prone to cracking and lifting, with serious ring wear and destruction to the edges. The unlaminated back is usually heavily marked and The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and un readable. Not this one!

There is some very light scuffing to the corners, but no rubbing along the edges. The opening edges are very square and un frayed, with none of the usual splits at the opening, which these nearly always have. The white areas are very white, with no blemishes. The back cover is nice and clean, with no discernible ring wear, which is very unusual for these delicate covers.

The Spine shows minimal wear only, with no cracks, the spine text is totally intact, and is one of the squarer examples I have seen. A great example. All round, this is a really nice cover!!!

THE LABELS - EXCELLENT CONDITION

Both labels are in EXCELLENT CONDITION, with light spindle traces only, and NO wear around the spindle hole! The MT tax credits are still black and un worn. Great  examples of this rare classic First press.

THE INNER

Comes with Original First Press Inner Sleeve with Polythene Lining. Great condition, just some light yellowing and a very slight split at the top, clearly shown in the image. States: "USE EMITEX..." & "IMPORTANT - TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MICROGROOVE RECORDS ..."

EXCELLENT condition, NO tears around the die cut openings, and minimal wear at the tops. Crisp and Clean.

RARITY

A FIRST PRESS copy of With the Beatles in this type of condition is scarce. The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound. Any JOBETE examples with a record in this type of condition, that plays really well is very rare.

FIRST UK Yellow and Black original pressings of With the Beatles are getting rarer by the day. Finding one in all round nice is extremely rare, and makes this a very rare opportunity.

This is an Original First Uk Press from 1963 with Original Inner Sleeve and great original HEAVY PRESSED Vinyl. With Original Yellow and Black Parlophone Labels with the rarer MT Tax Credit,  the Jobete label and the correct first press 'GOTTA' cover. Finding a copy in this condition is VERY RARE Indeed. A wonderful and extremely rare copy of this classic early Beatles album

MAKING THIS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXTREMELY RARE PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY.

GREAT COVERS WITH NO SEAM SPLITS, NO TEARS, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS.

GREAT VINYLS WITH NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, NO JUMPS OR REPEATS - GUARANTEED!

MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch.Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

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, etc.

FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
