Description
THE BEATLES "With The Beatles" 1963 UK 2nd STEREO MINT G&L FLIPBACK,UNMARKED VINYL, Dominion/Belinda CREDIT
THE BEATLES
With The Beatles
ORIGINAL UK PARLOPHONE (PCS 4035) SECOND *STEREO* PRESSING (November 1963) OF THE BEATLES SECOND LP "With The Beatles" IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION - LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED AND YOU DON'T NEED ME TO TELL YOU HOW INCREDIBLY RARE THIS IS, AS OUT OF ALL THE SIXTIES BANDS THE BEATLES WERE THE ONES WHO WERE MOST FREQUENTLY PLAYED (AND NORMALLY PLAYED TO DEATH ON RELATIVELY POOR EQUIPMENT), SO TO FIND A COPY LIKE THIS IS TRULY EXCEPTIONAL
THE AUDIO DELIVERY IS PERFECT THROUGHOUT (ON MY SYSTEM (AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME!!) WITH A WONDERFULLY BRIGHT, CLEAN, SHARP AND FRESH SOUND - AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL COPY
PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST YELLOW/BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS (THERE IS NO EMBOSSED 'KT' TAX CODE), "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." RIM TEXT, "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" BUT NO "Sold in the U.K..." STATEMENT AND WITH Side Two, Track 3 now spelt "You Really Got A Hold On Me" (although the sleeve still reads "Gotta") AND WITH THE "Dominion, Belinda" publishing credit for "Money"
MATRIX NUMBERS: YEX 110 - 2 / YEX 111 - 2
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/O and ?/GD (the mother number on side two is not visible but this is clearly an extremely early press)
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED TRI-FLIPBACK SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVE
Track Listing:
Side 1: IT WON'T BE LONG / ALL I'VE GOT TO DO / ALL MY LOVING / DON'T BOTHER ME / LITTLE CHILD / TILL THERE WAS YOU / PLEASE MISTER POSTMAN
Side 2: ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN / HOLD ME TIGHT / YOU REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON ME / I WANNA BE YOUR MAN / DEVIL IN HER HEART / NOT A SECOND TIME / MONEY
LABELS: The labels are clean, fresh and unmarked with no evident spindle traces and appear as they did in 1963
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, glossy, just-pressed sheen and are practically unmarked - to be very, very picky there are two (ultra) light very small hairlines on Side Two, Side One is completely unmarked but these are extremely minor and have no audio consequence - the record plays like-new
VINYL Audio: Sensational sound reproduction throughout - crystal clear, clean, crisp, sharp and vibrant sound - incredibly fresh and exciting and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing, and it's always an immense pleasure to return to this wonderful LP) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and no clicks or pops - the run-ins and track divisions are silent. The whole LP plays to the highest possible standard with all frequencies bright and clear, no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds absolutely stunning and is graded MINT for audio (it's flawless). Beautiful copy and to use one of eBay's most over-used phrases "impossible to find like this", there, I've said it - but in this case I think it is truly applicable
SLEEVE: The G&L front laminated flipback cover is also in stunning condition - crisp, sharp, unworn edges and spine - which displays all text clear and bold. Looks like it was made yesterday. The laminated front has a deep, glass-like gloss with no rubbing or ring wear (again, to be very, very picky there is the lightest of record impression) and the unlaminated back is beautifully clean. Superb example - MINT(-)
and the original EMITEX inner is also clean, fresh and unmarked with no splits (just some light discolouration - please see photos) - NEAR MINT
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE ITEM

THIS REALLY IS A SENSATIONAL COPY - PRACTICALLY AS-NEW AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, IMPOSSIBLE-TO-FIND-LIKE-THIS - VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED
