Beatles For Sale
 1st Press
SOLID VG

A bit of history.....This album was first released on the 4th Dec 1964. Prior to its release there was a huge order of 750,000...which went on to break all records for advance orders of ANY album!!! Of course this meant the album went straight into the number 1 position in the U.K. charts, staying in the charts for 46 weeks!! POPULAR is too small a word for it!

Vinyl:
146g QUALITY VINYL
VG. Lovely heavy vinyl. The vinyl does have many light marks, still retaining all it's is glory!
Does Not Skip or Jump!
FLAT-SHINY-HEAVY
I have just played her ALL THE WAY THROUGH...
Played loud, you can hear some background noise throughout, but I think this adds to it's appeal..Would benefit from a professional clean.
Deep and rich sound reproduction.


Labels: VG. Lovely and clear. Many LIGHT spindle marks, visible when angled towards the light.
'KT' for the tax code on side 1.
Outer text "The Parlophone Co." (ONLY 1st Press have this) it DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
NO writing.


Cover: G+. Small Mono outline in top right corner.
Shiny front and back cover...
There are spidering areas to the laminate, far from trashed.
  With wear to the spine and the corners to the top and bottom of the spine.
Good strong inner flipbacks.
But come on we all know how delicate this gatefold cover is....I am being very critical and honest for you-you get what is described.
NO WRITING.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Inner: VG. It is a white die-cut innerwith "Patents Applied For" & "Made In Great Britain" printed to one side. The opening is feathered, with a small split too. Sides are great and remain intact.

A SOLID BEATLES LP-WITH GREAT, RAW SOUND REPRODUCTION.
FAR FROM TRASHED BUT EQUALLY FAR FROM MINT.
A VERY GOOD FILLER.
