THE BEATLES - 'I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND'/'THIS BOY'
1963 UK 1st PRESSING 45
**MINT**
This MINT/UNPLAYED ex-shop stock 1963 1st pressing is on the black & silver Parlophone label: R 5084
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but have upper case 'Parlophone Co..' rims.
The 'KT' tax/price code is embossed in the centre of the 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' label & in each run-out.
Housed in its original green & white Parlophone company cover.
Matrix numbers: 7XCE 17559-1N & 7XCE 17560-1N
Stamper numbers: 9/ALA & 8/GOD
Both are immaculate with no spindle marks to either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces of this outstanding copy appear at first glance to be in exactly the same condition they left the shop 46 years ago.
Careful inspection in strong daylight emphasises their deep-gloss surfaces and shows up just two very faint surface lines (not scratches) on side 1, but no other visible wear.
Even close examination beneath my halogen desk lamp fails to reveal any further visual blemishes or wear at all.
Both sides of this immaculate copy lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: MINT
Unplayed.
Cover: EXCELLENT PLUS
Clean, crisp & flat with just a touch of unavoidable storagewear creasing & the disc's catalogue number written in the rear upper left corner, but no tears or splits.
