Yellow & Black Parlophone Co rim with Gramophone Co.Text and 'Sold In The UK'
A sought after and difficult UK Beatles album to find in Stereo, to see one in this fine condition is a pleasure, this would have been a special order at the record store back in 1965 as the vast majority of these were pressed and bought in Mono.
Vinyl on this is in very fine condition - visually it looks immaculate - the playing surfaces are highly glossy clear and bright, graded under a bright light I can hardly see a mark on this at all a real gem!
Graded Near Mint+
I have just played this through and it's impressive in that original unique stereo sound, clear sounding Beatles tracks!
Both labels are clear and bright showing 'KT' tax code on Side 2 with only a hint of a spindle mark showing but a handful of plays.
Graded Near Mint+ complete with it's lovely original 'Use Emitex' crinkly lined die-cut inner.
This has the Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback sleeve which is a beautiful lovely example that looks like it just came out of the store in 1965.!
Front picture has sparkling clear lamination not lifted anywhere.
A perfect straight spine and corners and nice unthumbed opening edges, on the back has three straight clean flipbacks.
Graded Near Mint +
Rarely seen in this condition!
An exceptional Stereo example!
Will be supplied with Heavyweight Plastic Sleeve for the Cover and the LP will be packed out of the cover in clean white inner sleeves and cardboard outer sleeves to protect your investment and mailed in a Professional Mailer surrounded by heavy-duty cardboard to ensure it arrives with you in the same condition as it leaves me.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!
From my own personal collection assembled over 25+ years with constant upgrading whenever available so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine example of a RARE and COLLECTIBLE LP that has been lovingly cared for.
All LP covers were stored in the highest quality plastic sleeves and the records stored in separate archival white inners out of the cover to prevent damage to the original sleeves and ring wear of the record through to the original cover.
Lots of rarities will be listed over the coming weeks and you will be hard pressed to improve on these as I was relentless in the pursuit of the finest examples at whatever cost!!!!!
