IN 1969 PARLOPHONE INTRODUCED A NEW LABEL DESIGN. THE NEW DESIGN REPLACED THE TRADITIONAL “YELLOW AND BLACK” LABEL AND NOW BOTH THE 'EMI' AND 'PARLOPHONE' LOGOS WERE PRINTED IN SILVER.  WHILE CURRENT BEATLES RELEASES FROM THIS PERIOD WERE ON ‘APPLE’, THE OLDER PARLOPHONE LPS WERE PRESSED USING THE NEW LABEL DESIGN. THE FIRST VARIATION OF THIS DESIGN HAD ONE ‘EMI’ LOGO ON THE LABEL AND ARE REFERRED TO AS “ONE BOX”OR “ONE MARK” PRESSINGS. THE NEW “ONE BOX” DESIGN WAS USED FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...PERHAPS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. SOMETIME IN 1970 A SECOND LABEL VARIATION WAS INTRODUCED AND THE “ONE BOX” LABELS WERE DISCONTINUED. THE 1969 “ONE BOX” LPS WERE MANUFACTURED USING THE SAME STAMPERS AS ORIGINAL PRESSINGS, WERE PRESSED ON THE SAME HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL AND WERE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL TRI-FLIPBACK FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVES

VINYL CONDITION

Visual:

SIDE ONE  NM / Full LUSTER and SHINE! Barely any signs of play. Close and careful inspection directly under a bright light source reveals only a few wispy sleeve removal traces and 2/3 very light hairlines

SIDE TWO  NM /  Beautiful!! Looks practically new...only a few wispy sleeve removal traces are visible when held at an angle beneath a bright light source

Audio:

SIDE ONE   NM / apart from a negligible touch of light and normal background during silent bands there is little to fault...plays as new and sounds amazing!!

SIDE TWO   NM / outstanding! Top copy...all tracks play cleanly and clearly

Labels:

SIDE ONE   NM / one or two very close and barely visible spindle traces

SIDE TWO  NM- / no spindle traces evident. There are three very small spots where the white paper beneath the black label is visible. These blemishes most likely occured during manufacturing

Sleeve:   NM / Beautiful tri-flipback Garrod and Lofthouse front laminated sleeve. Front sleeve is super glossy and clean with very minor handling/shelfware. A few very light laminant creases, negligible top left corner wear and a touch of toning along the front sleeve opening . The rear sleeve is as white and as perfect as the day it was purchased.

Inner Sleeve:  Original inner sleeve is not present. Vinyl has been stored in an MFSL protective inner sleeve

All records are shipped inside protective plastic covers. I use professional mailers and two protective stiffeners. When posting, I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves (if original inner is present) to prevent seam splits during shipping

I will combine shipping for multiple wins: Domestic, add $1.00 for each additional LP / International, add $1.00 for the second LP, email for shipping total when purchasing three or more items.
