An original 4th press of PPM in the UK on Parlophone. Matrix 1N/1N. This pressing would have been available in the shops SUMMER 1963 as BEATLEMANIA was in full swing. There's NO 'sold in the UK' statement, but THERE IS 'recording 1st pub' - this equates to 4th press/issue. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original G & L cover. We also have the original Emitex inner sleeve with 'patents pending'. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In truly super condition and has only seen the very lightest use. A close inspection reveals just a couple of lightest mark per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback without deviation. This is 1963 and playback is of a very very high standard indeed - one that totally belies its relative age. Just a warm super clean delivery of some terrific audio. Perhaps the cleanest rendition I've ever witnessed - it literally isn't far of mint [which sounds crazy!]. Intros and inbetweens are totally quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. This is difficult to find on any copy - but remember....this is BEATLES...this is a summer 1963 copy. That is a very very unusual find. Anything detrimental...>>? Well, all I could detect were a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated spots per side. CLEAN - consistently.... It has that warmth of a live recording - the presence of actually being in the room. All tracks, no matter how low-key, play perfectly clean - even the tricky ones toward the end of side 2. [Secret & Honey]. Finding these tracks, super clean, is really very unusual. They often are the first tracks to exhibit groove-wear. Not the slightest hint! This BEAST is a TOP LEVEL player. Love it! FINAL UPGRADE. 
Cover (Vg+) A beautiful looking original and many examples do not make it through time looking this refined. There is one issue on the front that I must be clear about - there is some laminate rumpling/rippling. Check out the 2nd front cover image. I've tilted the cover into the light - that's the only way that it's visible. It occurs in the area over toward the opening. The rear has avoided all but the slightest affects of the ageing process - barely a blemish. The flipbacks are all secure and intact. Edge wear is very slight and the spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity in part thanks to the heavy-card employed in manufacture.
Inner (Ex-) Lightest ageing and No splits.
