BEATLES STEREO PRESSINGS WERE RARE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 1960's AS WAS THE EQUIPMENT TO PLAY THEM ON AND AS MANY RECORD SHOPS CHARGED A PREMIUM FOR THESE PRESSINGS MOST FANS STUCK WITH THE MONO 1960's COPIES WHICH ARE PLENTIFUL EVEN TODAY
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDNG LAMINATED SLEEVE FRONT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION SOME LIGHT EDGE CREASES WITH AN OUTLINED STEREO INDICATOR TOP RIGHT AND EXCELLENT UNCRUSHED PINCHED END SPINE WITH CLEAN AND DEFINED OPENING EDGES
THE SLEEVE REAR HAS UNBROKEN FOLDOVER SEAMS AND A BRIGHT WHITE INNER PANEL UNFORTUNATELY THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PUT HIS INITIALS NEXT TO THE STEREO NUMBER PCS 3071 TOP RIGHT YOU COULD ALWAYS LOOK UPON IT AS SIXTIES PATINA BECAUSE WE ALL USED TO DO IT ,RARITY AND COLLECTABILITY WASN'T A CONCERN BACK THEN ,I DID COVER THEM UP FOR THE PHOTO TO SAVE ANY EMBARRASMENT FOR THE ORIGINAL ONE ( ITS A ONE OWNER COPY THIS ONE )
EMITEX INNER IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION NO SPLITS OR TEARS ,WELL PRESERVED
VINYL RECORD IS OUTSTANDING DEEP GLOSSY SURFACES WITH SUPER CLEAN LABELS THERE ARE SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRE AND ALTHOUGH THE CENTRE HOLE IS UNWORN THE PAPER AT THE EDGES OF THE HOLE IS SLIGHTLY RAISED ( MORE OF AN EXCESS WHEN PRESSED) THE KT TAX CODE IS STILL BLACK IN COLOUR AND UNWORN AND IS A GOOD INDICATOR OF THE INFREQUENT PLAYS FOR ANY ALBUM
A PLAY TEST OF THE RECORD PRODUCED QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES AND SUPERB AUDIO ONE OF THE BETTER COPIES TO HAVE SURVIVED SIXTY YEARS
I MAY HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE ON OTHER LISTINGS BUT OWNERS OF STEREO ALBUMS HAD TOP EQUIPMENT TO PLAY THEM ON AND REALLY LOOKED AFTER THEIR VINYL WHICH IS WHY THEY SEEM TO SURVIVE WELL
