BEATLES UK, With the Beatles, rare PYE record original 1963 UK LP.

PMC 1206, original UK 1963 mono black and yellow Parlophone record labels.

A hard to find original UK ‘PYE’ record in original condition, featuring:

1. to try and meet the high demand for the latest Beatles LP, ‘With the Beatles’ in late 1963 the record company of ‘PYE’ helped EMI to manufacture copies. It seems that only a small number of these ‘PYE records’ were ever manufactured, so now making them very difficult to find,

2. the records ‘mother/stampers’ are unique to these ‘PYE’ records and differ from regular EMI / Parlophone copies, side one, the ‘mother/stampers’ are: ‘312 PB2’ / A’, and side two, ‘AQ2 112 / A’,

3. another unique feature of these ‘PYE’ records is the very noticeable, ‘tapered’, ‘sharper’ outer edge,

4. another unique feature of these ‘PYE’ records is the slightly ‘raised’ record labels each side, ie this ‘raised’ area at the edge of the record label can be ‘felt’ with the finger tip,

5. there are NO ‘tax codes’ embossed onto the record labels,

6. comes with its original ‘Use Emitex’ inner sleeve.
