Description
This is the original first Mono pressing of the album "A Collection Of Beatles Oldies" by The Beatles on the Parlophone label catalogue number PMC 7016. Matrix numbers are: Side 1, XEX- 619-1G, Side 2, XEX 620-1G Stampers: Side 1, 9 O clock 3, 3 O clock AH, Side 2, 9 O clock 1, 3 O clock RD
These early Mono Apple albums are hard to come by in decent condition. Although unlike some of my other listings, this copy is not NEAR MINT (due to the outer sleeve) but it is an overall very respectable Excellent.
The vinyl retains a beautiful shine on both sides and neither side displays any scratches, scuffs or other surface marks. The labels remain bright but do display a number of spindle lines however, the album plays exceptionally well without any problems, a very respectable copy.
The record is housed in the original Emitex inner that has no splits or other damage. The outer sleeve is in nice shape with a little discolouration (yellowing to the front) and a little light creasing. The rear of the sleeve has also light yellowing and some sticker residue on the top right edge but is otherwise in nice shape and overall is graded VG/EX. The vinyl and inner are great examples of a nice album but the outer sleeve could do with some improvement.
A nice overall Excellent example of a collectable piece.
I will post internationally but buyer must pay fully insured postage.
