Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
With The Beatles
Original 1963 Mono Pressing in Nice Condition!
On offer here is an original 1963 UK Parlophone copy of the Beatles LP 'With The Beatles'. This is the original mono pressing.
The LP was released right at the height of Beatlemania and had advance orders of over 500,000 and shot straight to number 1 on its release (knocking Please Please Me off the top spot) staying there for 21 weeks!
Because of this, it is very easy to find original copies of With The Beatles. However, the vast, vast number of copies that original sold were bought by fans who played their copies of the album to death. Constant replays and damage from excessive use means that if you do find a copy of this album then it's usually pretty trashed and well played. It is extremely difficult to find an original 1963 copy of this album in a decent condition.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title With The Beatles Year of Release 1963 Catalogue Number PMC 1206 Label Yellow / Black Parlophone with Parlophone rimtext and no Sold in UK statement Tax Code on Disc KT Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod and Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number XEX 447-5N Side 2 Matrix Number XEX 448-5N Side 1 Stampers 5 / RR Side 2 Stampers 1 / MP Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in VG condition. The sleeve is holding up fine with no splits or tears and just some light, general wear. The front has just a little disc impression and light creasing in the laminate. Seams and spine are all holding up fine. The back has browned a little with a little wear down the mouth edge. It looks like there's been some rubbing at the bottom of the Tony Barrow notes as some of the writing has come away. Overall, though, the wear is pretty minimal and the sleeve looks pretty decent. Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in EX- condition. The playing surface has a really nice, sharp shine to it and there's some light scuffing here and there but nothing at all nasty or serious looking. Very decent copy of this collectible record! Label Condition The labels are in EX+ condition. The labels are wonderfully clean with just a touch of spindlewear and whitening around the centrehole.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.
My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
