Description

THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'

First issued in October 1969, the '1-EMI box' Parlophone label replaced the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. All Beatles albums released with this label were cut form the same masters as the 1st pressings and in most cases retain the same matrices. Each was pressed on high-quality virgin vinyl and retain all of the warmth and flawless sound quality of the 1st pressings at a fraction of the cost, making them arguably the best value Beatles vinyl available.

This NEAR MINT pressing of 'With The Beatles' is on that same '1-EMI-box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 3045

Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2 (the same as the 1963 1st pressing)

Stamper codes: 3,5/OD & 2,5/PM

Vinyl weight: 154g

Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with a small stereo front indicator.

Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Bright & clean with just a hint of wear to the side 1 centre hole only.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine clean & unworn playing surfaces which are 'as new' in strong daylight with nothing more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.

Play: NEAR MINT

Outstanding audio with the all of the warmth and clarity of a 1st pressing. This copy has been barely played and my single careful play-check found no evidence of any groove/play wear, background interference or any other audible distractions or faults throughout.

Cover: EXCELLENT -

A clean & strong example with minor storagewear but no major faults. In fact, apart from some wear to the paper on the rear opening edge, there is little to fault overall.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean and flat with an address of the previous owner stamper in one cover, but no tears or seam splits.

**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 7 GBP**
