Description
THE BEATLES - 'THE BEATLES AGAIN'
This is an early U.S. 1st pressing of this 1969 compilation album which was retitled 'Hey Jude' shortly after release.
Both labels bear the earliest 'SO-385' catalogue number which was changed to 'SW-385' on all subsequent pressings.
Matrix numbers: SO-1-385 Z35 & SO-1-385 Z31 #2
Both run-outs also include machine stamped 'BellSound SF' symbols.
Vinyl weight: 134g
The disc is housed within thick posterboard U.S. printed cover (SW-385), together with plain white inner.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A clean & unworn pair showing just one or two faint spindle trails on the side 1 label only.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which bear two or three light surface marks per side, but nothing I would call a scratch. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some harmless wispy paper hairlines on side 2 but little else in the way of wear.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This top sounding copy has clearly been barely played & my single play-check at volume found no audible distraction or wear throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine clean & unworn example with no storage rubbing or wear to either front or rear panels. In fact the only blemish on the entire cover is a bruise to the upper left corner which is only visible from the rear. Both seams and the spine are fully intact and completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
General storage wrinkling but no tears, seams splits or writing.
