BEATLES V I
ORIGINAL 1966 EXPORT ISSUE.
MANUFACTURED IN THE UK FOR THE EXPORT MARKET ON THE YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL.
THE ALBUM IS A MIX OF TRACKS FROM "BEATLES FOR SALE" AND "HELP" AND ALSO INCLUDES THE RARE TRACK "BAD BOY" WHICH WAS NOT RELEASED IN THIS COUNTRY UNTIL THE APPEARANCE OF "THE COLLECTION OF BEATLES OLDIES" ALBUM.
CPCS 104
YEEX.112/3
THE PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. BOTH SIDES DO HAVE SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME MINOR SPINDLE WEAR,AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, AND SOME DISCOLOURATION BUT THIS IS MAINLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. LABELS CARRY "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" TEXT, THE "GRAMMOPHONE CO" AND KT TAX CODE,
THE VINYL IS AGAIN IN GOOD CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE A MULTITUDE OF SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SURFACE SCRATCHES (THIS HAS BEEN WELL PLAYED)BUT VINYL DOES PLAY WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS AND AUDIBLY IS STILL A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR SUCH A RARE RECORD.
COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" INNER WHICH IS INTACT WITH NO SPILTS OR TEARS.
THE ORIGINAL "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" LAMINATED SLEEVE IS ALSO GOOD HOWEVER AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES BOTH TOP CORNERS HAVE BEEN CROPPED.....
THE REASON FOR THIS IS IN THE 60'S & 70'S RECORD SHOP ALBUM STOCK DELETIONS WHERE OFFERED FOR SALE AT A REDUCED PRICE AND TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING RETURNED FOR A FULL PRICE REFUND THE SLEEVE WOULD EITHER BE CUT OR HOLED IN SOME WAY..... THIS IS ONE SUCH COPY AND THIS WAS PROBABLY DONE IN ITS ORIGINAL OUTLET WHICH IN THIS CASE WAS THE CAPITOL STORE IN BAHRAIN...... AS STAMPED ON REAR OF SLEEVE.
APART FROM BEING CROPPED THE SLEEVE IS INTACT WITH NO SEAM SPLITS ETC. IT HAS VERY LITTLE CREASING AND NO LAMINATE LIFT. THE SLEEVE CARRIES "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD PATENTS PENDING" TEXT.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT AN EXCELLENT COPY THIS IS A VERY RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER EXPORT RELEASE WHICH IS SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE IN ANY CONDITION AND WHICH MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS CONSIDER A REAL MUST HAVE ADDITION TO THEIR COLLECTION,
