The Beatles
With The Beatles
Unusual Transitional press
5N/7N
I have never seen this mixing before...
ALL COMPLETE TOO


This was the Beatles' second official release, following their hugely popular Please Please Me. This record was released on the 30th November 1963 and went to the number 1 position (knocking of their own Please Please Me lp) on the 7th of December. Staying at number 1 for 21 weeks! As a little note: they had already sold 250,000 copies before the release and so accepted a silver disc BEFORE release!

Catalogue number: PMC 1206

EX-. There are only light marks which DO NOT make her jump or skip...I have just listened to the WHOLE record without a problem.
She would benefit from a professional clean to get rid of the light and only occasional background noise...which really is minimal.
