THE BEATLES - 'I WANT TO HOLD YOU HAND'/'THIS BOY'
1963 UK RED & WHITE **DEMONSTRATION** 45
**ULTRA-RARE & 100% GENUINE**
Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a 100% genuine, ultra-rare UK demo 45 on the red & white Parlophone 'A' label: R 5084
Both sides carry the correct oversized labels with a large red 'A' on the 'I Want To Hold You Hand' label.
A single letter 'K' is visible in the centre of the 'A' side label. 'KT' codes stamped in both run-outs.
Housed in an original & genuine 'Top Pop' EMI/Parlophone promotional sleeve.
Matrix numbers: 7XCE 17559-1N & 7XCE 17560-1N
Stamper numbers: 3/H & 1/TL
Labels: EXCELLENT
The 'A' side label bears the timing written in the 3 o'clock position and evidence of a removed sticker in the 8 o'clock position which has lifted the paper slightly.
The 'B' side also bears the timing written in red ball-point pen and a small stain, again caused by sticker removal.
Otherwise both labels are bright and clean with no further blemishes or faults.
Visual: 1. EXCELLENT PLUS 2. EXCELLENT
Both sides are extremely clean & retain their deep-gloss shines with no groove-whitening from overplay or dull or cloudy patches from poor storage.
The 'A' side is unmarked in daylight with just a single fingernail scuff line visible on the 'B' side.
Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals no other significant marks or any scratches or further wear to either side.
Both sides lie 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS
Electrifying and outstanding sound quality on both sides of this audibly untarnished disc.
There are no traces of any background noise, groovewear distortion or indeed any audible wear whatsoever.
Both run-ins play silently and without intereference and both sides lie 100% flat with no signs of dishing or warping.
You will not be disappointed.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Vibrant and clean with just normal storagewear and no writing tears or other major faults.
