I'M GOING TO START THIS LOW AND SEE WHERE THE BIDDING GOES
THIS IS A GENUINE UK MONO 1ST PRESS WITH XEX 606-1 ON THE SIDE 2 RUNOUT.
MOTHER STAMPERS ARE 5GT / 3RD
AS BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL KNOW - THE MONO FIRST PRESS WAS REPORTEDLY WITHDRAWN AFTER ABOUT 1 WEEK AS GEORGE MARTIN WAS NOT HAPPY WITH 'MIX 11'
OF TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS AND WANTED IT TO BE REPLACED WITH 'MIX 8' WHICH IS PRESENT ON LATER PRESSINGS
THE LABEL HAS THE USUAL 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD' RIM TEXT + 'SOLD IN THE UK....' IT HAS A KT TAX CODE STAMPED ON SIDE 2.
FIRST PRESS SLEEVES CAN BE E.J. DAY OR GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE - THIS ONE IS THE LATTER.
COMES IN AN EMITEX POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE
* VINYL HAS BEEN CLEANED ON MY MOTH PRO PROFESSIONAL RECORD CLEANER *
THE 2 STAGE CLEANING PROCESS LIFTS ALL THE GRIME AND DIRT FROM THE GROOVES WHILST ALSO REDUCING ANY STATIC
VINYL GRADING ON THIS ONE WAS A BIT TRICKY - IT PROBABLY FALLS BETWEEN G+ AND VG. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW FINE HAIRLINES / SCUFFS - BUT IT RETAINS A GOOD GLOSS AND THERE IS NOTHING DEEP OR FEELABLE.
AS FAR AS PLAYABILITY GOES - THERE IS BACKGROUND CRACKLE PRESENT AND ALSO A FEW TICKS THAT DON'T OVERPOWER THE AUDIO WHICH REMAINS CLEAR AND NOT MUFFLED / DISTORTED. THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR STICKS.
MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT VINYL FROM THIS VINTAGE IS HEAVIER, BETTER QUALITY AND WITH DEEPER GROOVES - SO IT CAN WITHSTAND HEAVIER USEAGE BETTER THAN MODERN VINYL PRESSINGS WHICH ARE GENERALLY MUCH FLIMSIER.
LABELS ARE FREE FROM WRITING AND STICKERS BUT THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE TRACES.
COMES WITH ORIGINAL POLY LINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION
SLEEVE HAS A COUPLE OF LAMINATE CREASES + A BIT OF RING WEAR / SCUFFING TO THE REVERSE SIDE AS PER THE PICTURES
