THE BEATLES - 'YESTERDAY'
UK 1966 1st PRESS EP
This hard to find 1966 1st UK pressing 4-track EP is on the yellow & black Parlophone label: GEP 8948
Both labels bear the 'Sold in UK..' text with 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.
The 'KT' purchase tax code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label.
Housed in a front laminated, rounded bi-flipback picture cover.
Matrix numbers: 7TCE 894-1 & 7TCE 895-1
Stamper codes: 1/A & 1/H
CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
A completely unworn and undamaged pair which have just a single faint spindle trail around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean & glossy playing surfaces which display just a few faint hairlines in strong daylight, but no heavy marks or anything I would call a scratch. Close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a few harmless wispy hairlines paper-type, but no other significant marks or wear.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has clearly received very little play and there is no evidence of any groovewear on any track. There is some inevitable light background on 'Yesterday' & between tracks but no clicks, pops, ticks or any other such distraction.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A very clean & glossy front panel which bears several light wrinkles and the unavoidable label ring impression. There is a little rubbing to each corner's extremities and slight wear to the opening edges, but nothing major. The rear panel is quite clean with just some light wrinkles and a few minor blemishes but no writing or missing paper. Both flipbacks are fully intact and all seams unstressed, smooth & unworn.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 4.00 GBP**
