HEAVY 172g!

MT tax code

*FREE UK TRACKED 48Hr POSTAGE*
(Vacuum Cleaned)

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!

LOVELY & EARLY HERE

Vinyl:
VERY HEAVY ORIGINAL QUALITY 172g
(I have not had a 1st pressing this heavy before)
VG(+).
Super audio-I have just had the utter pleasure of listening to her all the way through and found very little background noise, with a clear audio, which was lovely and raw.
There are just a few visble, but light marks to the vinyl, certainly nothing to make the needle jump or skip.
When playing side  1, I noticed a slight bell warp-but this had zero effect on playback when I played both sides on my deck...When playing side 2 I found it visually un-noticeable...Have a look and listen to the video of track 1, side 1 above and you'll see it has zero affect on playback.
 She keeps her all original sheen.
GORGEOUS heavy original vinyl.
GREAT RAW SOUND WHICH REMAINS CLEAN & CLEAR


Labels:
VG+
1st printing run.
 Clear text.
There are light spindle marks , with some central hole wear-as can be seen in the detailed images provided.
Outer text "The Parlophone Co."  
No "Sold In" text.
"Jobete." credit for Money on side 2.
"Really Gotta Hold On Me" listing for track 3, side 2.
These labels were quickly corrected and recalled, making this an increasingly rare copy.
"MT" tax code, side 1.
(This is quite unusual as the MT tax code was only introduced on the 1st of Jan 1963 and ran only until July 1963-This Lp was released in November 1963-when the KT tax code was introduced).
VERY FRAMEABLE

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

Cover:
VG.
 Larger Mono in top right corner.

"You Really Gotta A Hold On Me" incorrect track spelling.

There are some small spidering areas to the front laminate-with a long line top the bottom left corner.
There is a small, well repaired tear to the centre of the opening-only around 2cm.
NO WRITING.
Good strong, solid corners too.
A very nice EARLY example.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND WHY NOT READ MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS...


Inner:
VG+
 It is the ORIGINAL FIRST PRINT "Use Emitex" inner with the much rarer "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" statement in lovely clean condition.
There is a split to the bottom seam.
Heavyweight paper.
It is the earliest version too as it carries the "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" statement to the bottom corner of one side.
Tracing-paper lining.
You couldn't get any earlier and sits very well with this very early pressing.


SO folks...If you want an increasingly rare pressing of this iconic album, in decent solid condition-this is the one..It is not top of the range, but it is also more than a filler.
