Description

THE BEATLES - 'REEL MUSIC'

1983 UK *MINT/UNPLAYED* 1st PRESSING LP


This LP is one of a number I have listed this week which originated from the collection of a record company employee. Like this copy, all were received at/near the time of release and stored away in ideal condition and never played.

This was the final & arguably one of the most attractive, best sounding and underrated packages put together by EMI in March 1982 just before Apple retained full control of their catalogue. Cut by The Beatles original cutting engineer, the legendary Harry Moss, it remained on catalogue for less than 2 years.


This MINT/UNPLAYED copy is a 1st UK pressing from 1982 on the '2-EMI Box' label: PCS 7218

Housed in a unlaminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed complete with full-colour 12-page booklet & heavy card printed inner-sleeve.

Matrix numbers: PCS 7218 A-1 & PCS 7218 B-1

Harry Moss' initials 'HTM' appear etched into the side 1 run-out.

Disc weight: 112g
