FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, THE GOLD AND BLACK LABEL FIRST APPEARED FOR THE ONE AND ONLY TIME ON THE BEATLES DEBUT ALBUM. THERE WERE TWO VERSIONS OF IT, KNOWN AS THE FIRST PRESS AND THE SECOND PRESS, BOTH ARE EQUALLY AS RARE AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE FIRST PRESS HAD SONGS INCORRECTLY CREDITED TO DICK JAMES, WHEREAS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NORTHERN SONGS.

PARLOPHONE SHORTLY AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE LABELS TO THE MORE COMMON YELLOW AND BLACK AND THUS APPEARED A VERY SHORT LIVED 3RD PRESS (1ST YELLOW AND BLACK)  THIS WAS ALSO QUICKLY CHANGED BECAUSE THE 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT AT 9 0'CLOCK ON THE LABEL WAS OMITTED IN ERROR.

THE 4TH PRESS IS THE ONE THAT SITS IN MOST PEOPLES COLLECTIONS.

ANYWAY BACK TO THE SHORT LIVED 3RD PRESS. A VERY LIMITED RUN OF THIS LABEL APPEARED WITH AN EXTRA 33 1/3 ON IT. THE PARLOPHONE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ALL HAVE A LARGE 33 1/3 ABOVE THE YELLOW 'PARLOPHONE' TEXT, BUT THIS 1ST BATCH CAME OUT WITH THE GOLD AND BLACK LABEL'S 33 1/3 (A VERY SMALL ONE) NEXT TO THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AT 9 O'CLOCK. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR TWO NUMBERS AND SO THIS WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A COPY THAT JUST HAD THE LARGE NUMBERS.

IT HAS FINALLY BEEN RECOGNISED AS A GENUINE PRESSING OF IT'S OWN WHICH HAS MEANT THAT ALL OF THE PRESSINGS HAVE HAD TO BE PUT BACK ONE NUMBER MEANING  THE MOST COMMON PRESS MOVES FROM 4TH TO 5TH

HERE THEN IS AN ABSOLUTELY MINT EXAMPLE OF THIS 4TH / 5TH PRESS ALBUM,AND IT HAS A SLEEVE THAT IS ALSO IN THE MOST SPECIAL OF CONDITIONS.

A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT AN ALBUM THAT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN LIKE THIS

THIS ALBUM WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT GRACE SOMEONES COLLECTION

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION .I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER CLEANER, AND MORE MINT EXAMPLE OF BEATLES LABELS.

 THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.IT IS DEEP IN COLOUR AND UNLIKE MANY COPIES HAS NO FINGERMARK'S, WHITE FLECKS, RUBBING ETC.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

A CLOSE INSPECTION WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS REVEALS JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE. 

THE VINYL

A VIRTUALLY MINT CONDITION VINYL THAT HAS RETAINED EVERY BIT OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS TOTALLY AS NEW. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.

AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. JUST A FEW OF THE SMALLEST AND WISPIEST HAIRLINES POSSIBLE, AND A TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON THE TRACK ' BOYS'

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TH BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

BESIDES THAT WITH A RECORD OF THIS VALUE AND RARITY, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THEY COULDN'T HEAR?

SO HIT THE BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, TURN YOUR VOLUME UP REALLY LOUD AND ENJOY!!!

EVEN IF YOU DON'T DECIDE TO MAKE A BID YOU CAN STILL HAVE THE THRILL OF HEARING A GENUINE TRUE STEREO BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME

THIS STEREO RECORD PLAYS THROUGH AS IF IT HAD JUST BEEN PUT ONTO A TURNTABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. THE FIRST THING THAT IS APPARENT IS THE INCREDIBLE STEREO MIX. A CLARITY OF SOUND THAT YOU ONLY EVER GOT ON THESE EARLIEST OF BEATLES PRESSINGS.

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE CLEANEST BEATLES STEREO PLEASE PLEASE ME YOU ARE EVER LIKELY TO COME ACROSS. I GUARANTEE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE MAGNIFICENT STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT, NOT EVEN ON THE VULNERABLE 'ANNA' NOTHING!! IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE DEATHLY SILENT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE ON ANY TRACK OR ANY OF THE LINKING GROOVES. EVEN THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED!!!!

THERE ARE NO CLICKS NOTHING!! AND I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DUST POPS WHATSOEVER, AND THESE WERE IN LINKING GROOVES AND NOT THE MUSIC

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL AND THIS MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR

THE ONLY THING YOU MAY DETECT IF YOU SIT RIGHT ON THE SPEAKERS IS A MILLISECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

THIS VINYL IS AS GOOD NOW AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED AND IT JUST HAS TO GRADE MINT MINUS VISUALLY AND AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY GET FOR THE PLAYBACK

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN TO THE LP AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF 

THE SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND THERE IS NOT ONE HEAVY CREASE OR CREASE LINE ON IT ANYWHERE. NO BENDS OR FOLDS EITHER.I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN A MORE PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF THIS FRONT SURFACE . IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN VERY PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW. IT HAS A MIRROR FINISH

THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE NEAR THE RIGHT CORNER ONLY AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY BIT OF SHELF WEAR. (THIS IS THE ONLY BIT ON THE ENTIRE SLEEVE)

THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE WHITE LAMINATED SURFACE IS INTACT AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THERE IS AT WORST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE  AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED JUST HAS A SPECK OF WEAR TO THE VERY TIP OF THE RIGHT CORNER, OTHERWISE AS PERFECT AS THE TOP EDGE.

THE SPINE IS VIRTUALLY MINT!!!  TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT WITH ONE MINUSCULE SCUFF JUST UNDER THE TOP END, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE! ONLY THE TOP TIP END SHOWS A SPECK OF RUBBING

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND MADE UP

THE REAR SURFACE HAS THREE PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS ON THIS E.J.DAY AND CO SINGLE SLEEVE. NO CREASES TO THEM AND NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER

EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. AND THE POROUS WHITE SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE WITH JUST A VERY VERY TINY SHADOW OF HANDLING TO THE OPENING EDGE

THE ORIGINAL EMITEX POLY  LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY WHITE AS NEW AND UNSPLIT WITH JUST THE BAREST SHADE OF RECORD IMPRESSION, AND A CORNER CREASE LINE

THIS SLEEVE HAS TO GRADE MINT MINUS!!!!

SO THERE IT IS. ONE OF THE RAREST ALBUMS EVER MADE AND IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS VAULT CONDITION. THE QUESTION IS WILL IT END UP IN YOUR COLLECTION???

MY BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
