=====================================================================================
This is a true 1st pressing which displays all the first issue label errors, all of which appear on side 2. Track 3 displays the 'Gotta' and 'Domion' spelling errors. Track 7 displays the incorrect *Jobete* publishing credit.
=====================================================================================
THE DISC: 2/2 matrix endings (1st issue; there were no 1 matrices on stereo discs) Stampers: ?/GH 3/MD
EX: Audio is crystal clear; near silent run ins/outs having nothing more than a little static noise, common on '60's stereo vinyl. This is a fabulous copy which would be hard to upgrade. Visually, this disc has superb deep gloss surfaces with a slightly lacquered appearance. There are just a few light marks on each side. Again, it would be difficult to find a better looking original. This disc has been handled with great care. THE COVER:
EX-: I have graded this as excellent- because these original 'With The Beatles' covers are so difficult to find without laminate lift and damage to the front panel. As you can see from the photos, this example is in great condition and although it has age toned especially on the unprotected back panel, it is still about as good as you are likely to find. Being a first issue, it has the darkest headshot images and the 'Gotta' spelling error. There are some perimeter wrinkles and a few crescent pressure lines but all-in-all it has survived in remarkable condition.
THE INNER SLEEVE:
VG+: Correct, clear polythene lined, patents applied for issue. Age toned and a tiny split in the centre of one seam. It has is an original shop sticker attached.
====================================================================
The photos are of the actual item. I always use professional, anti-static, cleaning fluid and listen to the whole disc. Professional mailers are always used.
I have more Beatles records listed right now, so please have a look.
