Description
THE BEATLES - 'THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM'
This UK-pressed EXPORT edition of their 2nd U.S. Capitol album is on the yellow & back Parlophone label: CPCS 103
The side 1 label misspells 'McCartney' as 'McCarthy' in the songwriting credit for 'Thank You Girl'
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but have 'The Gramophone Co..' worded rims
The 'KT' purchase tax code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label.
Machine stamped matrix numbers: YEEX 110-A9 & YEEX 111-A9
Stamper codes: 1/G & 1/R
Vinyl weight: 162g
The disc is housed within a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' 'Patents Pending' cover.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT -
A bright & unworn pair with the only significant fault being a name stamped through the yellow 'Parlophone' wording on each side.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both playing surfaces are clean but have several light hairlines on each side along with a few small, but more noticeable, but non-feelable marks on side 1. Close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp does little more than highlight these blemishes but adds little further of any significance. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD
This copy has received a moderate amount of play but there is no major deterioration to the sound quality throughout. My single careful play-check at volume revealed some mild playwear to the innermost tracks mostly, along with some clicks at the end of 'Roll Over Beethoven', but no other significant or major audible distractions.
Cover: VERY GOOD
A strong and fully intact example which retains a clean & gloss front panel laminate bearing a few 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge and a handful of spine wrinkles. All corners and both opening edges are clean and free from any tears or feathering. As you can see, there is some soiling to the rear panel along with the original owner's address stamp and some partially erased pencil marks aside the track-list. All flipbacks are fully intact and both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed & unsplit. Both seams and the spine are unstressed & unsplit and the spine wording is still readable. No original inner-sleeve is present.
