| BEATLES "BEATLES FOR SALE"
RARE "LOSSER" LABEL ERROR
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.
THESE RARE MISPRESSED COPIES VERY VERY SELDOM APPEAR FOR SALE AND ARE ONE OF THE HARDEST OF ALL THE BEATLES MISPRESSES/RARITIES TO OBTAIN
PCS 3062
YEX 142/3-1-1

THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE, . LABELS ARE SPOTLESS CLEAN AND ALL LETTERING IS INTACT WITH NO RUBBING E.T.C. THE LABELS HAVE RETAINED THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR.
THE EXTREMLEY GLOSSY AND PERFECTLY FLAT VINYL IS SUPERB. WHEN CLOSELY INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT SIDE ONE DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT AND VERY MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS WHICH ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHT, SIDE TWO ALSO DISPLAYS VERY SIMILAR LIGHT MARKS BUT ALSO HAS TWO VISIBLE NEEDLE MARKS PRESENT, HOWEVER IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE NOT FEELABLE OR SERIOUS AND DO NOT AFFECT THE AUDIO.
AUDIO IS SUPERB... THERE MAYBE A HINT OF CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUNI IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE 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 PRESENT AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.
THE OUTER AND VERY FLIMSEY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT GIVEN ITS AGE (THESE SLEEVES TENDED NOT TO SURVIVE VERY WELL). THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL CREASES TO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BUT NOTHING TO SERIOUS. THERE IS SOMECORNER AND EDGE WEAR EVIDENT AND THERE IS A TINY TEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM SPINE EDGE AND SOME LIGHT BUT VISIBLE WEAR TO THE SPINE.THE SPINE IS HOWEVER STILL INTACT AND IS STILL RIGID. THE INNER FOLDOVER SEAMS ALL LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO CREASES. THE SLEEVE IS VERY CLEAN AND STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS.
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE UK STEREO ISSUE WHICH OFFERS THE IRRESTISTABLE APPEAL OF BEING THE EXTREMLEY RARE "LOSSER" MISPRESS.
THESE COPIES JUST DO NOT SURFACE SALE AND ARE ON EVERY COLLECTORS MUST HAVE LIST.... THIS IS ONE NOT TO MISS!!
