THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
1963 UK MONO PRESSING LP
This early UK mono pressing dates from late 1963 & has -1N/-1N matrices. This cut featured the earliest and most powerful mix which was withdrawn a matter of days after release after complaints form buyers about jumping. However, no such problems exist when played on modern turntables and you can fully enjoy the massive & incredible initial mix as it was originally approved and intended to be heard.
This spectacular copy bears the familiar yellow & black Parlophone label with the catalogue number: PMC 1230
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Parlophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.
The publishing credit for song 'Money' is 'Dominion.Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.'
The track 3 title on side 2 is spelt as: 'You Really Got A Hold On Me'
An 'MKT' purchase tax code is visible around the side 1 centre.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed mono cover.
The rear track listing misspells track 3 on side 2 as 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me'
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex..' poly lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: XEX 447-1N & XEX 448-1N
Stamper codes: 10/GTR & 1,7/RAA
Vinyl weight: 176g
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A bright, unblemished pair with just a handful of well-aimed light spindle trails around each centre hole but no other traces of wear.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate & pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight Even careful examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen light reveals little more than a few barely visible inner-sleeve removal marks but none of the usual build-up of wispy paper-type hairlines are present. Both sides of this quality, heavy copy lie 100% flat both sides when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
Flawless, unworn audio on this copy which allows the incredible power of this mix shines through on every track. My single careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/playwear on any track or in either channel. Both run-ins and all bands play without interference and there is not a single tick, clicks or pop on the entire album. You will not need or be able to upgrade this one.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A 1st-class example of this easily blemished iconic cover which bears a clean, glossy and unyellowed front panel laminate with just a touch of storage rubbing and a few faint bends towards the opening edge but certainly no significant signs of wear. There are tiny bruises to the right corners but no damage or wear to either opening edge. The rear panel is clean & white with the only blemish being the original record shop stamp in the upper right corner. There is a little lifting to the upper flipback but all are clean and fully intact & both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & correct with just a touch of light storage creasing but no writing, seam splits or tears.
