THE BEATLES
With the Beatles

Very Rare Stereo Issue with 'Domion' Label Error!

On offer here is a very rare original 1963 stereo pressing of the Beatles followup LP 'With the Beatles'!

Back in 1963 stereo was still very much something only the very well off could afford. Stereo discs cost more than their mono counterparts and stereophonic record players were still priced up to the point of being a highly expensive luxury. Because of this, the original stereo presses sold in tiny, tiny numbers whilst everyone bought the much cheaper mono presses. Today it is incredibly difficult to find the original stereo presses of their earlier albums, especially With the Beatles!

This copy features the rare 'Domion' error credit for 'You Really Got a Hold on Me'

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG+ condition. The playing surface has a nice, sharp shine to it and is looking very clean, but does have some light scuffing along with a few slightly heavier looking scuffs and surface marks. Overall, though, is looking really nice! Label Condition The labels are in VG+ condition. The labels are clean and bright, but do have some spindlewear in the middle and a little whitening as you can see in the photos below.

My Regarding Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
