Description
THE BEATLES - 'TWIST & SHOUT'
This very fine 1963 pressing of their most successful four-track EP is on the yellow & black Parlophone label: GEP 8882
A genuine red & white EMI 'Factory Sample - Not For Sale' sticker is adhered to the side 1 label.
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but include 'The Parlophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.
The 'KT' purchase tax code is visible around the centre of the side 1 label.
Matrix numbers: 7TCE 762-2N & 7TCE 763-1N
Stamper codes: 3/GRP & 1/RRP
Housed in a front laminated, rounded bi-flipback 'Garrod' printed cover.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & bright set with a handful of extremely faint spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole only.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pritine and unmarked playing surfaces in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines visible directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Play: EXCELLENT
This great sounding copy has received just a handful of careful plays on good equipment and sound perfectly clean & clear throughout with no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion. Apart from a touch of light background on the run-ins and on the introduction to 'Do You Want To Know A Secret', there is little else to fault here.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A 1st class example which retains an unscratched high-gloss front laminate where the only trace of wear is a single tiny 'thumbnail' towards the lower right corner. All corners and both opening edges are sharp and unworn and the rear panel is clean & white with no significant blemishes or wear.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5 GBP**
