Hello!  Please note, that this auction will end on late Friday February 9th UK time.  Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays.  However, as I have a large amount of AWESOME extra LPs, I will be doing 2 AMAZING sets of listings this week!!!!  So don't forget to check back before Friday February 9th UK time - to see some incredible items!  Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "With The Beatles" and is an ORIGINAL 1963 UK MONO pressing on the Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEATLES MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!!  THIS LP ALSO HAS ONE OF THE ALL RAREST MATRIX VARIATIONS EVER MADE - WITH 5N/5N MATRIXES (FAR FAR RARER THAN THE 1/1's OR 7/7's!)!!!!

AND FOR ONCE, WE CAN TELL EXACTLY WHEN THIS LP WAS MADE!!!!  THIS LP ORIGINALLY CAME FROM AN ARCHIVE MUSIC RECORD LIBRARY, AND WAS DATE STAMPED WHEN IT WAS FILED AWAY.  THIS LP HAS '22 DEC' STAMPED ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER, AND ALSO 'COPY' FAINTLY STAMPED TO THE LEFT OF IT.  THIS WAS AROUND 1 MONTH AFTER THE RELEASE DATE (THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1963), AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OUT FROM THE FACTORY TO THE ARCHIVE MUSIC LIBRARY AT THIS TIME!!!!  AND THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!  NOW AS ANY ONE KNOWS THE "WITH THE BEATLES" LP REMAINED IN THE CHARTS FOR OVER A YEAR, AND REMAINED COMPLETELY UNCHANGED (APART FROM THE MATRIXES) FROM THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' IN NOVEMBER 1963 RIGHT THROUGH TO THE LATE 1960s - WHEN THE LABEL LAYOUT WAS CHANGED.  SO IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT DATE A 'WITH THE BEATLES' LP WAS REALLY MADE.  YOU COULD QUITE EASILY BUY A NM COPY SOLD AS AN EARLY PRESSING, BUT ACTUALLY IT COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN MADE IN 1968 (YEARS AFTER THE RELEASE DATE!) - RATHER THAN NOVEMBER 1963!!!!  LUCKILY IN THIS CASE, AS STATED ABOVE, THIS LP ORIGINALLY CAME FROM AN ARCHIVE MUSIC LIBRARY, AND IS DATE STAMPED ON THE REVERSE OF THE COVER!!!!  NORMALLY ANY STAMPING ON AN LPs COVER IS VIEWED AS A DETRACTION.  BUT WHEN THIS DATE STAMP ACCURATELY PUTS THIS LP RECIEVED JUST 1 MONTH AFTER THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' - I THINK THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY AN 'ADDED BONUS' - RATHER THAN A DETRACTION!!!!  BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU THAT THIS LP IS A 100% GENIUNE UK VERY EARLY MONO PRESSING - AND WAS SENT OUT TO THE MUSIC LIBRARY ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  AND WITH NO OTHER WAY OF KNOWING - YOU CAN IN THIS LPs CASE BE 100% CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE GETTING A VERY VERY EARLY MONO PRESSING INDEED!!!!

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSING!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / PARLOPHONE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), SENT OUT TO RADIO STATIONS OR RECORD LIBRARIES (AS IN THIS CASE!), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!!  BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear (apart from a TINY 'touched in' trace around 1 centre hole!), NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT 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 nasty 'tick' marks AT ALL, only 1 light scuffline, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, only 1 small hairline type mark, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO skips, only a few brief surface sounds at the VERY beginning of 1 track, barely ANY clicks AT ALL elsewhere, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear 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 1st Press 'Emitext' Inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, NO splits, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, VERY nice flipbacks, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
