THE BEATLES ''YELLOW SUBMARINE'' (Nothing Is Real) 1st UK PRESS CAT NO PCS 7070 (STEREO) MEGA, MEGA RARETY! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING COPY! THE VERY (VERY) EARLIEST EVER TO FIND! ABSOLUTELY AMAIZING CONDITION!  (NO) CLICKS OR POPS (NO) NEEDLE\AUDIO SOUNDING SCRATCHES! THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD OF THIS PRESSING! plays very near perfect on my systems! DARK APPLE LABEL (STEREO) THE EARLIEST,RAREST, AND HARDEST TO EVER FIND LIKE THIS!!! -1 -1 EARLIEST MATRIX!!! ''2'' ''RH'' and ''4'' ''AL'' EARLY STAMPERS!!

This is the original 1st press and earliest STEREO recording VERY sought after and highly collectable especially in this condition! Many copies are found with the usual surface noise\distortion and have been played to death! and played with inferior systems,,, I should know , I have found and purchased many copies over the years, only to be dissapointed by this! This is from my personal ollection of Beatles records that i have been collecting over a period of more than 35 years! I have owned this copy for at least 22 years and this has been stored in a case for all of that time! The only reason that I have decided to put this album up for auction is that i am fortunate to have another copy in my collection! This STEREO pressing in my opinion is a far superior sound\mix than the LATER  stereo pressings. For those who know the type of records that I list would know that my hobby and main interest is the audio quality! This album listed is probably, in fact is,,, one of the best that i have heard of this pressing! The true test of this album is the second side!, which has very quiet slow classical tracks, which an only possibly be enjoyed free of surface noise in my opinion, you may here the odd light static tick here and there but that's all! (no) loud clicks or pops this is cristal clear and vibrant throughout! !!Also an important issue is the mother stampers!, from my experiance the earliest stampers make all the difference!!!!! 

Yellow Submarine is the tenth official album released by The Beatles. It was the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name!!!!.

In contrast to how the film was received, Yellow Submarine is usually considered The Beatles' weakest album, as it featured only six songs by the band. The Beatles did not consider it a studio album, since the four previously-unreleased tracks on it were recorded at various times in 1967 and early 1968!!!!

Only a Northern Song" was originally recorded during the sessions for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, although it did not appear there. Most of the song was recorded in February 1967. "It's All Too Much" was recorded just before the release of Sgt. Pepper, although it was shortened (from eight minutes) for Yellow Submarine. "Hey Bulldog" (recorded in February 1968) and "All Together Now" (recorded in May 1967) were always intended for the film soundtrack.

"Baby You're a Rich Man" was also originally intended for the film soundtrack, but was released as the B-side to "All You Need is Love" instead and was not included in the Yellow Submarine album!!!!.

Two of the songs on the album had previously been released. "Yellow Submarine" had already appeared on Revolver in August 1966 and as a hit single at about the same time. "All You Need Is Love" had been a hit single in 1967 and had also appeared in the United States edition of Magical Mystery Tour later that year!!!.

The second side features arrangements (recorded specifically for the album) of George Martin's orchestral score!!!

The Labels

Feature the DARK APPLE LABELS (only 1st press later  (stereo)press were lighter)  ''SOLD IN THE UK.......'' featured across the labels (only 1st UKpressings) ''Mfd in the UK'' featured (only UK press)  spidering can be seen angled to the light (This looks in my opinion like it has definately not been overplayed played for an amaizing 40 year old Beatles album!) It certainly sounds clear and vibrant)  little if (no) spindleware the hole is perfectly round!

The Vinyl

The vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable! On initial inspection this looks absolutely awesome! This actually gleems! Still retains its natural glossy sheen from new! There are (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks at all that I can see!! Important note! This is the original thick and heavy chunky type of vinyl only found on 1st pressings! These have deeper grooves and are much more robust than later press!!!!

When looked at under a very strong light there is very (very) few and very light surface marks\scuffs\ (mainly sleeve removal marks! (no) audio sounding marks at all that i can see or could hear!!!!!!!!

The Audio

THIS IS STUNNING! I have played this track for track on a top! system at very loud volume prior to listing! The audio is graded at the very top! on all frequencies! I haven't heard a better original!!!!! (no) clicks or pops certainly (no) skips or jumps! THE AUDIO IS CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT!! Most importantly no surface noise can be heard during the audio!,, so common on this pressing! and quite unbeleivable for this early 39 year old Beatles 1st!!!Infact even in between tracks this is lovely and quiet!!! I would class myself as highly critical! Please look at my completed listings of records that I have sold of this calaber and you will see that I normally get it right! An important note! Please allow for the odd static tick\ticks only really herard during some quiet places ! mainly caused by dirt or dust build up over the years of laying dormant! A constant clean is recomended before each play! ,, this would drastically reduce this and would greatly improve the audio quality! I must emphise! THE AUDIO PLAYS THROUGH  CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT WITH ABSOLUTELY (NO) SIGNS OF DISTORTION OR THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED AT ALL!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! I have been as honest as i can when describing the audio quality of this album! Please allow for the odd static tick\crackle (not consistant throughout the audio! This was played on a top! system at loud volume prior to listing! Please remember that this is a genuine 39 year old vinyl that would have originally have been played on a 39 year old system!!!!!
