Description
THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
In October 1969 EMI introduced this new '1-EMI-box' design label to replace the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. Most utilized the same matrices with the original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as the 1st pressing and are their equal in sound quality.
This UNPLAYED stereo pressing dates from October 1969 and is on the '1-EMI Box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 3045
Both labels carry the 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' & 'Made In Gt. Britain' rim texts.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2 (the same as the 1963 1st pressing)
Stamper codes: 3,6/OA & 2/MM
Vinyl weight: 147g
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with the small stereo front indicator.
Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect pair with no spindle trails or marks around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surface which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight and reveal nothing more than a small number is wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Play: MINT
This copy appears not to have been played and my careful single play-check confirms the sound to be flawless and fabulous throughout.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A fine example of this iconic cover which retains an undamaged high-gloss bearing just a single small 'thumbnails' towards the front edge but no other signs of wear. All corners and both opening edges are unworn. The rear panel is clean & white with no blemishes, writing or other such major defects. There is a sliver of missing paper to the upper flipback edges but otherwise all are fully intact and the seams and spine are smooth, unstressed and unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT -
Clean & flat with some age-toning and a small split to one seam.
