This label variation together with -1N -1N Matrix endings and is also Housed in the Original 1st 1963 Issue 'Garrod & Lofthouse' with 'Patents Pending' text  Flipback Cover Sleeve which still has the Miss-Print for ''You Really Gotta Hold on Me'' Printed on the back of cover for track listing - Now virtually near Impossible to find like this!!!  Has become a Genuine Rarity to find especially in this Exceptional well preserved all around condition

YEAR: 1963

CAT NO: PMC 1206

LABEL & COLOUR: PARLOPHONE 'YELLOW & BLACK'

COUNTRY: UK

MATRIX Nos: 1st PRESSING ONLY (1N & 1N)  

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected and cherished for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

Vinyl Condition: EX Visually the vinyl is in excellent Condition - This 1st Press Vinyl at least has not been played to destruction like most - Has been carefully played a minimal amount of times over the early years but shows nothing but only light use over the last 48 years with NO needle mark scratches or any other bad marks that I can visually see or detect on close inspection that will affect the Audio Playback - When examined on closer examination under a strong light it reveals nothing more than a few mild light hairlines across surfaces and some usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal faint wispy light lines and scuff traces here and there that absolutely dosen't affect the virtually near perfect audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent plus condition on both sides) - The vinyl still retains all its original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - It would be very hard these days to find a better vinyl copy of this 1st Mono Pressing Record that plays without any problems! - it's a Superb Example!!!  

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 48 years it would obviously benefit from a proffessional clean  before play as to reduce further any light static crackle that is still present

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as EX to Near Mint  - This vinyl visually looks like its not been played that much and appears to have very few light and minor blemishes across the vinyl surfaces and shows NO heavy marks or scratches still looks a great example - There are No major Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks and the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence on this 47 year old Classic  that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Mono Audio performance!!! 

Labels Condition: EX  The labels being the Original Parlophone Yellow & Black labels that are still in a very clean and virtually unmarked condition being a strong excellent with minimal wear around the spindle hole - Under a bright Halogen light it shows some obvious faint spider trail traces near the spindle hole but is certainly evident that when it was ever occasionally played it was well cared for and looked after and hasn't been overplayed in its 48 year life span 

Cover Condition: EX+ An Original Front Laminated Gatefold Cover - This totally Intact Cover is still in exceptional sound condition and a fantastic example of a well preserved looking cover showing all its original Bold black & white contrast sharp colour that's in magnificent shape with very little storage wear to mention - That's totally intact with nice straight edges and good pointed corners corners - The cover looks to be virtually Unmarked - Flat crisp and clean only shows some usual yellow/brown ageing tinges around the white edges mainly with the large majority parts of cover mostly still being Exceptional and unblemished condition - If I look very closely there are only some mild and very light storage corner wear rub and one or two minute small laminate surface creases along the front and back  edge and very slight feathering along the opening edge and that have appeared  over nearly 50 years and that's it! and I do mean light! it's not that noticable (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall exceptional condition of cover) - Its one of the better ones I have seen over the years that's not falling apart that hasn't  been torn/split or written all over in Ink - It would be quiet difficult to find and improve on this cover!!! 

Spine Condition: EX+ The Laminated thin Spine is still superb and totally intact clean and undamaged and amazingly if you look hard enough it only shows just 2 very mild and light laminate surface creases (not that noticeable and really worth mentioning) - With all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded as it was printed!!!  

Inner Sleeve: EX+ The original white record company rice paper style sleeve is immaculate and looks Suberb in an original clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes apart from some usual paper creases and yellow aging tinges mainly around the edges

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!

Thanks for Looking and Happy Bidding!!!

I'm currently sorting through some of my other Rarer vinyl records that have been played only a few times which are mainly UK 1st  PRESSINGS - Which are all in Excellent to Mint Condition - Mainly due to Covers/Vinyl have been kept in plastic covers and Stored in a Cupboard for all of their Life Span and this is one of them
