THE BEATLES - 'I WANT TO HOLD YOU HAND'/'THIS BOY
1968 UK 2nd PRESSING 45

Both labels include the 'Sold in UK..' text & 'Parlophone Co..' rims.
The 1968 'KJT' tax/price code is visible on side 1 label.
Housed in original green & white 'swirl' Parlophone company sleeve.
Matrix numbers: 7XCE 17559-1N & 7XCE 17560-1N
Stamper numbers: 18/MLR & 17/MTR
CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
Labels look like new. No soiling, writing, stickers and no spindle marks whatsoever. B side label has a minor pressing flaw as seen in the photo.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Virtually perfect - No marks, scuffs, scratches, or hairlines whatsoever. Again it looks like new so ‘NEAR MINT’ is a very conservative grading indeed. I’ve owned this record for over twenty years and have only ever played it once to obtain the audio grading shown below...
Audio: NEAR MINT
The sound on both sides is crisp and clear with no background crackle or groovewear distortion, no clicks or pops or any other significant audible faults anywhere.
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE
Payment is expected within 7 days of auction end.
