Description
The Beatles – With The Beatles
Original 1963 UK Stereo pressing on Parlophone with the rare large STEREO text cover and Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. sleeve.
Early UK stereo copies from 1963 are significantly scarcer than the mono pressings, making this a desirable collectible for Beatles collectors.
This example also includes several early pressing identifiers such as the KT tax code embossing, early Parlophone rim text, and the -2 / -2 matrices.
