This is the UK 1st Press of 'Beatles For Sale' by The Beatles. The yellow & black Parlophone labels have the earliest 'The Parlophone Co Ltd' rim text , Sold In UK and 'Recording First Published' date. It has the earliest 3N/3N matrix and the vinyl is in the original laminated flipback gatefold sleeve. 

The vinyl is in Very Good condition. The vinyl has a superb lightly played gloss, with a couple of marks and a few hairlines on both sides. The label is in is exceptionally clean and bright, the black is solid and unworn, the silver text is sharp and there is only the slightest spindle wear. The record is complete with the original polylined inner sleeve.


The sound quality is Very Good. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is extremely rich and vibrant. There is superb clarity and audio separation, just moments of the light background noise and a couple of light pops, but this is faint and certainly does not spoil the enjoyment of the album.


The laminated flipback gatefold sleeve is in Very Good condition. The colours are still bright, the laminate has a mirrored gloss and the picture is extremely clear. There are a couple of light laminate creases and a little corner wear. The unlaminated inside is still very bold and clean with a little discolouration, the pictures are sharp and the inside opening edge is firm. The flipbacks are sealed and complete. The whole sleeve is still very solid.
