ULTRA RARE

THE BEATLES 

 'WITH THE BEATLES'

This final 1969 mono pressing of 'With The Beatles' is arguably one of the hardest pressings to find of all the UK pressings

Instead of printing up a batch of the new '1-EMI box' mono labels for this pressing, EMI used left-over stock of 1963 labels

The cover however did have to be reprinted which produced one of the rarest UK cover variants of all - a small 'mono' indicator

Both labels are standard '2nd pressing' variants, but without a purchase tax code in the centre of either

  The labels on this copy (above left) have slightly raised edges, a feature also present on the '1-EMI box' label, pictured above right

Matrix numbers: XEX 447-7N & XEX 448-7N

Housed in an ultra-rare front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with a SMALL mono front panel indicator

The rear track-listing bears the corrected 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' spelling for track 3 on side 2
