ORIGINAL 1963 UK 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED NOVEMBER 1963 "WITH THE BEATLES" WAS THE GROUPS 2ND UK ALBUM RELEASE. IT ENTERED THE UK CHARTS ON NOVEMBER 27TH AT NUMBER AND TOOK OVER THE TOP SPOT FROM "PLEASE PLEASE ME", THE ALBUM STAYED AT NUMBER 1 FOR A STAGGERING 21 WEEKS.
THE ALBUM HAD ADVANCED ORDERS OF 270,000 TWO WEEKS BEFORE ITS RELEASE AND BY NOVEMBER 27TH IT HAD SOLD 530,00. IT WENT ON TO BECOME THE BEATLES FIRST MILLION SELLING ALBUM.
ALL ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM CAME WITH FOUR MISPRINTS.. FIRSTLY THE PUBLISHING CREDITS FOR "MONEY" WHERE LISTED A "JOBETE MUSIC" ( THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOMINION BELINDA).. SECONDLY THE TRACK LISTINGS TO THE LABELS WHERE INCORRECTLY PRINTED AS "YOU REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON ME" (THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME").. THIRDLY THIS SAME ERROR WAS ALSO PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE. AND LASTLY VERY 1ST ISSUES CAME IN A MUCH DARKER SLEEVE... THE FACES OF THE GROUP ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT TO ONE SIDE.(THIS WAS LATER CORRECTED TO A LIGHTER VERSION)... THIS ALBUM CARRIES ALL THESE VERY 1ST ISSUE FEATURES.

NO TAX CODE
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION. LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM WRITING. LABELS FEATURE THE "JOBETE" CREDIT FOR MONEY AND "GOTTA" MISPRINT.... SIDE ONE CARRIES THE RARE FACTORY SAMPLE STICKER.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS AGAIN EXCELLENT.... IT DOES DISPLAY A VARIETY OF SURFACE MARKS, THE ODD SCUFF AND THE ODD HAIRLINE (THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED) HOWEVER NONE ARE FEELABLE OR SEVERE. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
THE AUDIO IS SUPERB.... BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAR AND CRISP WITH NO DISTORTION, THE VINYL PLAYS WITH NO JUMPS, STICKS OR POPS.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING DARKER SLEEVE IS REALLY EXCELLENT. IT SHOW SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING IN THE FORM OF SOME LIGHT CREASING TO THE FRONT AND SOME MINOR WEAR TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE SLEEVE IS HOWEVER INTACT, ALL THE SEAMS LIE FLAT AND THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY RIGID. THE SLEEVE IS STILL QUITE CLEAN AND CARRIES THE "GOTTA" MISPRINT TO THE TRACK LISTING.
OVERALL THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESSING ...... THESE COPIES WITH ALL FOUR MISPRINTS DO NOT SURFACE FOR SALE VERY OFTEN IN ANY CONDITION AND ARE NOW CONSIDERED VERY HARD TO FIND.. THIS COPY ALSO HAS THE ADDED BENEFIT OF BEING AN ORIGINAL FACTORY SAMPLE VERSION!!! .... AND THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE NOT TO BE MISSED BY SERIOUS BEATLES COMPLETISTS!!!!
