THE BEATLES
BEATLES VI RELEASED 1966 STAMPERS 1 AA 1 M MATRICES YEEX 112-A15 YEEX 113-A15 KT TAX CODE SIDE 2 CENTRE
FIRST A LITLE HISTORY IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW IT ,EMI EXPORTED ITS RECORDS TO OTHER COUNTRIES THAT HAD LIMITED MANUFACTURING CAPACITY ,AND RECORDS WERE ALSO SENT TO BRITISH AND AMERICAN MILITARY BASES AND SOLD AT REDUCED PRICES.
THEY CAME IN UK PRINTED ALBUM SLEEVES SIMILAR IN DESIGN TO THE AMERICAN CAPITOL ALBUMS BUT WERE PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE IN LONDON AND CARRY EMI / PARLOPHONE TEXT
THE VINYL DISCS ARE STEREO PRESSINGS ( QUITE RARE IN 1966 ) AND ALSO HAD UK MANUFACTURED LABELS WITH "GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD" RIM TEXT AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITIAN" LABEL TEXT THEY WERE NEVER MEANT FOR SALE IN THE UK BUT (THERES ALWAYS A BUT ) SOME COPIES FOUND THERE WAY BACK TO THE UK IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS .
THIS COPY ALSO HAS THE MISPRESS "DIZZY MISS LIZZY" RECORD CREDIT AS OPPOSED TO THE "DIZZY MISS LIZZIE" SLEEVE CREDIT
RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME LIMITED LIGHT CREASING AROUND THE EDGES AND A SUPERB CLEAN WHITE INNER REAR PANEL AND ALL TEXT AND IMAGES ARE LEGIBLE ,THERE IS A SMALL WEAR MARK AT THE VERY TOP OF THE SLEEVE IN THE MIDDLE BUT DOESN'T REALLY IMPACT ON THE SLEEVE
INNER SLEEVE IS IN SIMILAR EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION
VINYL DISC STILL RETAINS A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES WHICH DO HAVE LIGHT HANDLING AND NEEDLE MARKS NONE OF WHICH IN MY ESTIMATION ARE FEELABLE
RECORD LABEL ON SIDE 1 IS IN PRISTINE CLEAN CONDITION WITH VERY LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS AT THE DISC CENTRE
RECORD LABELS SIDE 2 IS BASICALLY IN THE SAME CLEAN CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE SOME I THINK LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS ONE AT THE TOP AND ONE AT THE BOTTOM BUT AGAIN ALL TEXT IS LEGIBLE
I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM ON A FAVOURED 1960's HI-FI AND THE AUDIO WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE THERE IS THE ODD POP AND CRACKLE BUT THE OVERALL LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT
THIS IS A RARE ALBUM AND VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION
