Description
Hi and thanks for looking at my listing.
The LP has been owned by me from new and rarely, and very carefully, played.
I am also selling more of my Beatles collections so please also see other listings.
THE BEATLES - 'FOR SALE'
NEAR MINT - RARE FIRST EVER 1964 UK MONO PRESS
RELEASED ON THE 1st BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL
WITH “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print
and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text.
The centre text, "Sold In U.K. subject to resale price conditions. See price lists" text was in effect between late February 1964 until mid 1969. During the summer of 1965, EMI's subsidiary labels changed their perimeter copyright text, on albums replacing the name of the subsidiary label to 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD'. As this is pre "Gramophone" it is therefore 1964 as it is "Parlophone" label.

ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER SLEEVE
FIRST 1964 PRESS UK MATRICES
