The Beatles
4 ORIGINAL 1st Press UK LP releases from the 1960's.
*3 YELLOW PARLOPHONE & 2 APPLE*
ALL GLORIOUS MONO BEATLES Lps
So folks, in these strange times comes a great offer: X4 ORIGINAL Beatles Lp's...3 have the Yellow Parlophone labels and The White Album has 1st ISSUE APPLE LABELS...It's a bargain and a perfect start to any collection.
I have firstly vacuum cleaned, then given them each an ultrasonic bath and finally sucked up the last of the fluid with a final vacuum clen
-Following the cleaning I HAVE LISTENED TO EACH SIDE OF EACH RECORD-
Here are the titles:
A Hard Day's Night
RARER MT tax code
1st pressing.
PMC 1230. 3N/3N with CHUBBY TEXT to both labels and the "Parlophone.." rim text.
160g original vinyl from the '60's.
The vinyl has just light marks (certainly nothing feelable to the finger tip) , as well as a small degree of residue from being housed in a poly-lined inner for many years...Which doesn’t make any difference to audio playback...WHICH I FOUND TO BE INCREDIBLY CLEAN, CLEAR AND WITH DEEP & RICH AUDIO PLAYBACK THROUGHOUT...I only noticed a couple of very soft and insignificant pops (slightly more, but equally soft on a small section of And I Love Her).
NO JUMPS OR SKIPS
Clean labels, with minimal central hole wear.
The cover remains really nice with a clean white backing , but there is a split of around 10cm to the bottom right corner-please see the detailed images for yourselves.
6/RAH Mother/Stamper to side 1.
Sgt Pepper.
1st Press. PMC 7027.
QUALITY 162g vinyl
Great vinyl with just light marks; NOTHING feelable to the finger tip. ..The audio was wonderfully clear and dynamic with clear highs and deep bassy lows...Sounded great!
(I have included a clip from ‘When I’m Sixty Four’ from this album just to show how crispy high and bassy low the audio is).
Only noticed a few soft pops in the transition between Fixing A Hole, into She’s Leaving Home-Again: Nothing offensive whatsoever.
NO JUMPS OR SKIPS
Very nice labels as can be seen in the images provided.
WONDERFUL cover too, without rips or splits....Would easily grade as a EX!..Still opens with a crackle-as if being opened for the 1st time, back in 1967!
MADE IN ENGLAND inner in EX+ condition.
NO cut outs.
PERPETUAL ENDING...PERPETUAL ENDING..PERPETUAL..
1/LP (Mother/Stampers) Lovely Early 1st Pressing Here
With The Beatles
PMC 1206. Unusual Pressing: 6N/6N.
VINYL: 148g
SUPERB CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO THROUGHOUT.
*This baby is worth the starting price on its own*
NO JUMPS OR SKIPS
The cover is in great SOLID condition and is the very 1st printing run with the ‘GOTTA’ typo. The back card is a bit dirty-please see the detailed images.
Tiny initials to the side 1 £ sign on the label...see if you can spot them..?
It also comes with the earliest 'USE EMITEX' inner with the 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' statement...WITHOUT any splits or writing-just discolouration from age-like me.
Only very light marks to the vinyl, nothing feelable to the finger tip and with barely any registering of these light marks on playback either :)
3/OP (Mother/Stampers)
Lovely vinyl.
The White Album
PMC 7067/8.
MONO
2/1/1/1 end matricies.
139g / 153g
Original
vinyl but with many light marks...I
played both sides of each record and yes, I did find multiple tiny
skips, with sides 1 & 4 having just one each...This is a USED
slab of vinyl and I am being very clear about the condition, so
no-once received I will not refund part of the price (like some
chancers
try) This one is as described: Used, marked and skips...A heavier stylus and a bit of attention would definitely help.
SUPERB LABELS-lovely and clean and very displayable...NO writing...Would look great on the wall.
Each label has the 1st pressing 'Sold In The UK..' statements.
Very good, solid gatefold cover which opens at the top (again a 1st pressing). NO tape repairs or writing-but there is a transfer and a sticker to the front, as can be seen in the images provided. The inside is lovely and clean and still looks great...Maybe frame this, with the album opened and the discs poking out of the top opening sleeve..?..
No pics or poster.
The number to the front: 0169183
3/GMO (Mother/Stampers)
Each of the records have marks to them-but nothing feelable to my finger tips ...they certainly knew how to make vinyl back then-they have been taken to parties, listened to, danced around...
I HAVE PLAYED EACH ALBUM ON BOTH SIDES AND STATED WHAT I FOUND IN THE DESCRIPTION.
They are in pretty good shape-but have been used!
The
covers have wear-as can be seen in the images provided.
If you want any further information-feel free to drop me a line and I will see what I can provide.
It's a lovely little collection of 4 ORIGINAL 1st Press Beatles releases...A little bargain for giving them a go or simply for display.
