Description

THE BEATLES FOR SALE: 1964 UK PARLOPHONE 1st STEREO
"Parlophone Co. Ltd", OUTLINE STEREO GF, EMITEXT INNER
THE BEATLES
Beatles For Sale

HERE WE HAVE A RARE, UK PARLOPHONE (PCS 3062) FIRST *STEREO* PRESSING (December 1964) OF THE BEATLES' FOURTH LP, "Beatles For Sale"

PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL
WITH THE FIRST ISSUE YELLOW/BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL WITH "The Parlophone Co. Ltd", "Recording first published 1964" and "Sold in the UK..." TEXT AND EMBOSSED 'KT' TAX CODE ON SIDE ONE
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL, OUTER LAMINATED FLIPBACK AND SINGLE FOLD OVER LEAF GATEFOLD SLEEVE, "Made and printed in Great Britain" (no printers credits) WITH THE OUTLINED "STEREO" ON THE FRONT AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL EMI EMITEX LINED INNER SLEEVE
MATRIX: YEX 142-1 / YEX 143-1
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 3/AG and 2/MO

Track Listing:
Side 1: No Reply / I'm A Loser / Baby's In Black / Rock And Roll Music / I'll Follow The Sun / Mr. Moonlight / Kansas City
Side 2: Eight Days A Week / Words Of Love / Honey Don't / Every Little Thing / I Don't Want To Spoil The Party / What You're Doing / Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby

LABELS: The labels are CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO unwanted writing but they are heavily spindle marked (please see photos)
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces have marks and scuffs but due to the quality of these deep cut early pressings most of these marks have little audio consequence. Visually GOOD (side one) and VERY GOOD (side two)
VINYL Audio: OUTSTANDING audio - CRYSTAL CLEAR, VERY SHARP, FRESH and IMMEDIATE SOUND. There are NO sticks or jumps on playback or any prolonged scratches but some of the marks do produce some clicks and pops especially on Side One during "I'm A Loser" but these are mostly just background and I did not find them particularly intrusive. The LP plays up to a reasonable standard with GREAT CLARITY and must be graded VERY GOOD (-) / VERY GOOD (SIDES 1/2 respectively) for audio. Not the best copy I know, but still in perfectly playable condition and I enjoyed listening to it immensely and this is the original 1964 STEREO version which is pretty hard to find. NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'about me' page). The LP is fully guaranteed, so if you are unhappy with the quality of the audio (bearing in my my description) a return/refund would be no problem
SLEEVE: The gatefold cover is VERY GOOD with wear to the edges and a some creasing to the single fold over front section (please see pics). It is however, structurally solid and CLEAN with NO stains, marks or writing and has a fully legible spine

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE RECORD, SLEEVE & INNER
I HAVE UPLOADED AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN BUT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPLY ANY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ON REQUEST
AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE RARE AND COLLECTABLE VINYL

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY


I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
