BEATLES HELP!

UK Parlophone PCS 3071 - 1st pressing 1965

MATRIX SIDE ONE YEX 168-1 stamper 3 /A 11

MATRIX SIDE TWO YEX 169-1 stamper 2 /A L

Presented here is a stunning example of this very sought after Beatles album, I am reluctantly having to sell it due to personal circumstances. I can't stress enough how rare original UK Beatles L.P's are in this stunning condition added to the fact it is a rare 1st pressing. This one would grace anyone's record collection and I hope it goes to the right home!

I would grade this item as follows -

Flipback laminated sleeve - EXCELLENT condition overall. The front has no rips, no tears,no splits, the colour is lovely and near pure white, minimal ringware, just a little creasing on the top left and bottom right corners. The back has very little fading, no handwriting, just a couple of small stains on the surface but overall it looks very nice and doesn't look 44 years old! One of the best examples I've seen of this sleeve.

It has the original Emitex inner sleeve which is in very good to excellent condition with no tears and very little fading.

Vinyl - EXCELLENT condition overall. The vinyl has that just pressed look, hardly ever played with minimal blemishes, stunning ! I can't grade on the audio has I have never played this record but I'm sure the quality is superb.

Labels - NEAR MINT condition for both labels. Both are nice and clean with no marks or writing. Side 2 label has a tiny spindle mark but apart from that no other marks. Hardly looks to have been played.

I have tried to be accurate with the grading and nearly always under-grade, but I can say whoever wins this item will not be disappointed.

Good luck with your bidding.
