This is the ORIGINAL MONO UK 'Earliest' 1st pressing from 1965 and is in GREAT condition!!!! This is an ORIGINAL 1965 MONO 1st Pressing with a Yellow & Black Parlophone Label, a KT tax code, 'Sold in the UK' text, and the 'Gramophone Company' edge text. The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The matrix numbers are XEX 579-1 & XEX 580-1. The Mother & Stamper codes are EXTREMELY early being 1/HA on Side 1 & Side 2's stampers are PP.  However I cannot read the mother codes on this side.  There looks to have been 3 attempts to stamp the mother code on this Side - with one digit looking like a 'C', one digit looking like a 'G' and one digit looking like a '3'.  Either way - these are EXTREMELY early mother and stamper codes!!!!  The Cat. No is PMC 1267 on the ORIGINAL Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a MONO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 3 or 4 small hairlines, 1 MEGA light scuffline and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays BRILLIANTLY with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  There is NO groovewear, and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards  - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL Emitex inner!!!! The MEGA RARE E.J.Day Flipback 1st Press Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), a few creases (mainly towards the right of the cover - cover is still flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and barely ANY yellowing!!!!  There is also a VERY small light patch of wear in the top left corner on the reverse of the cover - though this is on the white part of the cover, so it barely shows - and certainly isnt very noticeable AT ALL!!!!  The cover has NO splits, NO rips, NO staining, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!! THIS LP IS MASSIVELY RARE AS A MONO 'LOUD CUT' 1ST PRESSING (WITH MEGA RARE E.J.DAY COVER) AND PLAYS BRILLIANTLY - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
