Description
THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
1969 UK FINAL Y&B LABEL *STEREO* LP
Pressed in mid-late 1969, this hard to find stereo pressing is on the final version of the yellow & black Parlophone label: PCS 3045
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but have 'Gramophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.
Unusually the 'KT' purchase tax code is present in the centre of the side 1 label.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed stereo cover.
Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper codes: 4/MO & 3/MD
Disc weight: 147g
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Clean & unblemished with just a handful of light spindle marks to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a handful of wispy paper-type hairlines on side 2 but no further visual blemishes or wear.
Play: NEAR MINT
Everything on this barely played copy sounds fresh, clean & clear with no traces of any groove/play wear or background noise on or between any track, and certainly no click, pops or any other such distraction from this great sounding stereo copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
This example bears a striking unyellowed, unscratched high-gloss front panel with just two small 'thumbnail' wrinkles but no other creasing or wear. All corners are free from any heavy bumps and both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is overall clean & white with no significant marks or blemishes to any area. All flipbacks are intact and both seams & the perfectly worded spine are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with slight storagewear, but no writing, tears or splits.
