THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
1963 UK 1st *STEREO* PRESSING LP
**RARE LABEL ERRORS**
This rare UK 1963 1st stereo pressing variant is on the yellow & black Parlophone label: PCS 3045
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but carry 'Parlophone Co..' rims.
The side 2 label carries the misspelt 'Domion publishing credit for track 3 (should be 'Dominion).
The label publishing credit for 'Money' is the incorrect 'Jobete Mus. NCB'.
There is no tax/price code is visible on either label.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with the large mono logo.
This early example has the rare 'darker' front image which was lightened on all subsequent issues.
The rear panel carries the incorrect 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' title.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' rice-paper lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper numbers: -/RD & 1/A
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
Both sides appear pristine & unmarked viewed in strong daylight, with no groove-whitening or dulling to either surface from improper long-term storage.
Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just some minor inner-sleeve storage marks and paper hairlines.
However, there are no scratches or any other marks or wear to either side.
100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This disc has recieved just careful, infrequent play and has no major lessening to the sound quality.
All tracks play warmly and clearly with no background noise/crackle or any signficant groovewear distortion.
There are a few light noises on the run-ins and some of the bands but this does not interfere with the music.
There are no jumps, repeats, heavy clicks or any other major audible faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
An fine, early example with a bright, unyellowed front panel which bears just some minor storagewear but no 'thumbnails' or other creasing.
There is some light corner bruising and minor shelfwear to the lower corners but both opening edges are completely unworn and undamaged.
The rear is clean & bright with just slight toning to the corners but no further marks, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks, seams and the spine are intact & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Minor storagewear but no splits, tears or writing.
