Description

Hello, Believe to be third addition. Not an expert so please do your research! Many conflicting ideas regarding dates.

The layout and printing of the songs and credits give a special rarity to this press, I have not seen the song titles laid out on any other disc that I have viewed -  see picture.



 For the one and only time the mono version was issued six weeks prior to the stereo version with the stereo version available by special order only. Music shops were only shipped mono copies by default as this was then the far more common format in the UK.



MAIN MONO/STEREO DIFFERENCES


For all the single release tracks indeed the entire album an alternate stereo mix was created. As the singles were often composites of several takes this led to the stereo version of the album being different to the mono. For the mono LP the single mixes were used.

This is most notable in the stereo version of Please Please Me where John makes a mistake in the words of the final verse This is not heard in the mono version.

 The stereo version unlike the mono was mastered at the correct speed. All the mono presses were slightly fast.




CONDITION


The black and yellow indicates the third press along with the song layout and names

The machine stamped matrix numbers and stampers in the dead vinyl confirm that this was one of the first pressed as both sides end -1. 

The matrix numbers are as follows:


Side One YEX 94

Side Two YEX 95




Upon play testing noise between tracks was at a minimum and the audio quality of this third pressing is fabulous

Overall the disc plays a great deal better than a visual scan would appear to indicate.


The sleeve shows its fifty years but remains in better condition than most copies of this album found. Where some kept the vinyl as well as they could it was rare for the sleeve to benefit from the same tender care.

The front has retained its rich colours with just some scuffing to the edges and corners  There is also a little discolouration evident in places from handling.and a name of paul g butterlore written on the back cover. Despite these imperfections the sleeve is an authentic third printing with Made In Great Britain
