| BEATLES "BEATLES FOR SALE"
NEVER SEEN "LOSSER MISPRESS"
ORIGINAL UK STEREO ULTRA RARE MISPRESSED ISSUE.
RELEASED DECMBER 1964 "BEATLES FOR SALE" WENT STRAIGHT TO NUMBER 1 IN THE UK CHARTS UPON ITS RELEASE. IT REPLACED THE BEATLES OWN "A HARD DAYS NIGHT" AT THE TOP SPOT.
WHEN ISSUED A VERY SMALL AND LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS ALBUM WHERE ISSUED WITH A LABEL MISPRINT. THE LABELS WHERE PRINTED WITH THE SPELLING MISTAKE "LOSSER" ON THE TRACK LISTING FOR THE SONG "IM A LOSER".
THE ERROR WAS OF COURSE SPOTTED AND RECTIFIED ON SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS BUT NOT BEFORE AN EXTREMLEY SMALL AMOUNT OF THE MISPRESSES HAD BEEN SENT TO THE SHOPS FOR SALE.
HOWEVER THIS COPY NOT ONLY CARRIES THE "LOSSER" ERROR BUT ALSO FEATURES A MATRIX ERROR.... SIDE ONE MATRIX SHOULD READ YEX 142 BUT THE MATRIX TO THE RUN OFF GROOVE TO SIDE ONE WAS STAMPED AS YEX 144 AND THEN CORRECTED AND STAMPED OVER WITH YEX 142!!!!!!!!!
THESE RARE MISPRESSED COPIES VERY VERY SELDOM APPEAR FOR SALE AND ARE ONE OF THE HARDEST OF ALL THE BEATLES MISPRESSES/RARITIES TO OBTAIN THIS COPY NOT ONLY FEATURES THIS SOUGHTAFTER MISPRINT BUT ALSO FEATURES A VERY UNUSUAL AND NEVER SEEN MATRIX ERROR!!!
PCS 3062
YEX 142/3-1-1
STAMPERS RP 1 MA 3
NO TAX CODE.
THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION.LABELS APPEAR NEAR MINT IN NORMAL LIGHT AND CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE TRAILS, IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT THESE REALLY ARE MINIMAL. LABELS ARE SPOTLESS CLEAN AND ALL LETTERING IS INTACT WITH NO RUBBING E.T.C..... LABELS DISPLAY A LIKE NEW APPEARENCE!!!
THE EXTREMLEY GLOSSY AND PERFECTLY FLAT VINYL APPEARS TO HAVE RECIEVED JUST A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS. AGAIN WHEN CLOSELY INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST JUST VERY LIGHT AND VERY MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS, CERTAINLY NONE ARE SEVERE AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER!!
AUDIO IS SUPERB... THERE MAYBE A HINT OF CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUNI IN/OFF GROOVES BUT APART FROM THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, POPS OR JUMPS AND THE STEREO SOUND IS CLEAR AND CRISP THROUGHOUT... A REAL JOY TO LISTEN TO!!
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS STUNNING. IT DISPLAYS VERY LIGHT CREASES BUT FAR LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED. THE INNER IS STILL VERY CRISP AND STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR!!
THE OUTER AND VERY FLIMSEY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS STUNNING GIVEN ITS AGE (THESE SLEEVES TENDED NOT TO SURVIVE VERY WELL). THE SLEEVE DISPALYS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL CREASES TO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. THERE IS SOME MINOR CORNER AND EDGE WEAR EVIDENT BUT AGAIN THIS IS NOT SEVERE AND THERE IS A TINY TEAR TO TOP INSIDE SPINE EDGE BUT THIS HAS NOT BROKEN THE LAMINATE SO THE SPINE IS STILL INTACT AND IS STILL RIGID. THE INNER FOLDOVER SEAMS ALL LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO CREASES. THE SLEEVE IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS.... ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!
OVERALL A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE UK STEREO ISSUE WHICH OFFERS THE IRRESTISTABLE APPEAL OF BEING THE EXTREMLEY RARE "LOSSER" MISPRESS AND CARRIES A VERY UNUSUAL MARTIX ERROR.
THESE COPIES JUST DO NOT SURFACE SALE AND ARE ON EVERY COLLECTORS MUST HAVE LIST.... THIS IS ONE NOT TO MISS!!
