Description
After 20 years of collecting, the time has come for me to sell my Beatles collection and let other collectors appreciate some of the records and memorabilia I've accumilated over the years. Please check out my other listings and remember to save me as a favourite seller, as every week I'll be listing more and more increasingly rare, collectible and desirable Beatles records!
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

This auction is for an incredibly rare and very seldom seen copy of the Beatles LP 'With The Beatles' on the Silver / Black Parlophone label. This is the mega rare EMERALD Contract Press!
In the early 70's the Northern Ireland label Emerald manufactured a very small run of copies of the Beatles LP 'Sgt. Peppers'. Emerald itself was a subsidiary of Vogue Records in Belfast. The Emerald contract presses are very easy to spot as they have rough, textured labels with the Emerald name embossed on the label.
Only a very tiny number of Emerald contract presses seem to have been manufactured as, today, they almost never come up for sale! They are incredibly rare and extremely collectible! These are so, so hard to find and so this might be your only chance to add one to your collection!!
I also have the equally rare Sgt. Peppers Emerald contract press up for auction now. Check out my other listings!

The cover is showing its age somewhat, but overall is holding up okay. The front cover has a little dirt buildup on the laminate, but overall is looking pretty clean. There's some yellowing and light browning at the top and there's some little creases around the edges. There's a bigger crease in the bottom left corner and some light disc impression. The top and bottom seams have just one or two little knocks, but are holding tight with no splits or tearing. The spine has some laminate creases running through it with a little cracking over the text making parts of it illegible, but for the most part it's holding tight with no splits or tearing. The back cover has yellowed a little with some disc impression and light browning around the edges. Overall, holding okay, but with a little wear and tear. . Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : VG+EX-

The playing surface is looking good with a decent shine, although it is looking slightly dull - my guess is that it might need a clean on a record cleaner. I can see some light scuffing on the playing surface but nothing major, and I can't really see anything heavier. Overall, not looking bad at all!

The labels are clean with bright, silver text. The side 1 label has some light, white spotting but the side 2 label is clean. Both have just some light, barely visible spindlewear and a little whitening around the centrehole. The side 2 label has the Emerald emboss just over the catalogue number as you can see in the photo above.

All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
