THE BEATLES

Title : Beatles For Sale       Label : Parlophone      Cat No : PMC 1240

Matrix : XEX 503 - 3N / 504-3N      Issue : UK 1st Press

This is the UK 1st press of ‘Beatles For Sale' by The Beatles. The labels are yellow & black, with ‘The Parlophone Co Ltd,’ ‘Sold In UK’ and the 'Recording First Published' text. The record is complete with the original inner sleeve and laminated gatefold flipback mono sleeve. 

The record is in Very Good+ condition. The vinyl has a sensational high gloss, with just a couple of very light wispy marks on both sides. There are no significant signs of play at all and it lies completely flat on the turntable. There is the slightest noise at the intro but this soon clears and the sound is rich and very clear. It still has the wonderful early heavy vinyl vibrant, complete sound. There are a few moments of noise but this does nothing to spoil the enjoyment of this superb heavy vinyl press.

The earliest yellow and black Parlophone label is exceptionally clean. The black is bold, the yellow is bright and the text is sharp. The record is complete with its original Emitex polylined inner sleeve.

The laminated flipback sleeve is in Excellent condition. The colours are bold, the laminate has a stunning bright mirrored shine and the picture is extremely clear. There is just a little top edge wear. The inside flipbacks are sealed, there is a small scuff, but the inside is still exceptionally solid and clean. The text is sharp and the black is bold. The spine is very firm with clear black text on a clean white background and the whole sleeve is very solid.
