Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
With the Beatles
Mega Rare EMERALD Contract Pressing!
This auction is for an incredibly rare and very seldom seen copy of the Beatles LP 'With The Beatles' on the Silver / Black Parlophone label. This is the mega rare EMERALD Contract Press!
In the early 70's the Northern Ireland label Emerald manufactured a very small run of copies of the Beatles LP 'Sgt. Peppers'. Emerald itself was a subsidiary of Vogue Records in Belfast. The Emerald contract presses are very easy to spot as they have rough, textured labels with the Emerald name embossed on the label.
Only a very tiny number of Emerald contract presses seem to have been manufactured as, today, they almost never come up for sale! They are incredibly rare and extremely collectible! These are so, so hard to find and so this might be your only chance to add one to your collection!!
I also have the equally rare Sgt. Peppers Emerald contract press up for auction now. Check out my other listings
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.price rating
