THE BEATLES - 'WITH THE BEATLES'
This fine & early 1st UK MONO pressing dates from initial November 1963 release on the yellow & black Parlophone label: PMC 7016
Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK...' text but have the 'The Parlophone Co. Ltd...' rims.
The side 2 label has the earliest 'Jobete' publishing credit for the song 'Money'
Matrices: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper codes: 3/GO & 1/A
Vinyl weight: 157g
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' cover with the large 'stereo' front panel indicator.
This early example also has the darker/moodier front panel image which was lightened on all later issues.
As on the side 2 label, the rear panel track-listing also misspells track 3 as 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me'.
Complete with its original rice-paper lined 'Use EMITEX...' inner-sleeve:
CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both labels are clean & bright with no spindle trails and just a hint of wear to the centre holes.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight with just a few harmless wispy hairlines visible beneath halogen light.
Audio: MINT -
Carefully played just a few times on quality equipment, the sound is clean & unworn throughout with no clicks, pops or any other audible distractions or issues.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A worth cover for the disc, this fine example has survived the years in great shape and bears light storagewear only. The iconic front panel is clean, unyellowed & glossy with just a hint of storage rubbing and a couple of spine wrinkles, but no 'thumbnails' anywhere. There is very slight shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but the upper two and both opening edges are in great shape. The rear panel is clean & white with the only blemish being a faint ring mark to the lwft of the track-listing. All flipbacks are in-place and both seams and the spine are fully intact and undamaged. Tough to find better.
Clean & crisp with slight toning but no writing, tears or seam splits.
