Description
"With the Beatles" Decca contract pressing in incredibly good shape. The gaps between the songs are near silent. I will post a youtube vid (shot with iphone but you can still hear the silence between tracks). I was very careful to lighten my tracking weight, and to lower the tone arm incredibly slowly.
The biggest tell for this being the rare Decca contract, is the wide indentation around the label. Also the factory markings are at 9 o'clock, when normally with Parlophone they are at 12 o'clock.
Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve of course, in very nice condition. Shinnnny.
Here's the youtube video. Note: This record has not been professionally cleaned since my possesion, although I have only played it once all the way through, I believe this record would sound immaculate with complete silence in between tracks if professionally cleaned. (youtube vid not able to upload... just google/search decca contract "with the beatles" it's the link with an ortofon blue, black technics 1200, and McIntosh amp).
Please ask any question.
Thanks for viewing!
