Pressing Details
This copy is not a 1963 first pressing. Instead, it is a later UK reissue from the mid-1970s:
• Label Style: EMI boxed logo at top and bottom of the Parlophone label (introduced in 1969).
• Cover: Standard flipback sleeve (not the rare “Gold Parlophone” or early black/yellow labels from 1963).
• Matrix Numbers: Later cuttings (-6N / -5N), indicating repressings long after the -1N originals.
• Text Details: Label rim text includes “EMI Records Ltd.,” which is consistent with post-1969 issues.
Condition (based on photos)
• Sleeve: Noticeable edge wear, corner wear, and some laminate creasing.
• Vinyl: Appears glossy with some light surface marks visible under light, but no major scratches shown.
• Labels: Clean, with some spindle wear evident.
Estimated condition: VG (Very Good) to VG+ depending on play quality.
