ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!  

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 MONO 1ST PRESSING  OF THE BAND'S 1966 COMPILATION ALBUM:"A COLLECTION OF BEATLES OLDIES".

 PARLOPHONE PMC 7016 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1G/1G MATRIXES,THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXT,THE YELLOW/BLACK LABELS,THE RAISED TAX CODE K T PRINT ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL,THE "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT AND THICK VINYL-UNLIKE LATER REPRESSES! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL EMI LPs ADVERT INNER SLEEVE INCLUDING THE "REVOLVER" LP ISSUED JUST A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS LPs DEBUT. THE INNER HAS THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER STILL HAS THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PRINTING CREDITS AND THE PATENTS PENDING CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS LP! IN 1966 MANY BEATLES  LPs WERE USUALLY PLAYED ON HEAVY AND OLD EQUIPMENT OR EVEN ON MONO EQUIPMENT IN ERROR! THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT APART FROM A FEW ISOLATED AND FAINT "POPS" THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! VERY MINIMAL SURFACE CRACKLE INDEED EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS!  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT IT PLAYS THROUGH REALLY WELL! WAY,WAY BETTER THAN MOST DEALERS "EX" BUT TO GET A NEAR MINT EXAMPLE IS TOUGH AND EXPENSIVE IN MONO! EMI'S MASTERING AND DEEP CUT LOUD AND BASS FILLED,THICK VINYL WAS VERY HARDY AT THIS TIME RATHER THAN THE LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES OFTEN CUT AT A LOWER VOLUME AND AS SUCH THE "BLINDFOLD" TEST WOULD MERIT A HIGHER GRADE BUT I WANT THE WINNING BIDDER TO CONSIDER IT "BETTER THAN EXPECTED". PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS! 

BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE.     

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES-MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.  EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS.THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

MOST COPIES SOLD 48 YEARS AGO IN 1966 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT STILL WELL CARED FOR!

 THIS IS A LOVELY VERY THICK PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF STEREO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING A VERY NICE COPY INDEED!

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY BEATLES COLLECTION!

 YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
