THE BEATLES - 'NOWHERE MAN'
UK 1966 *1st PRESS* EP
This 1st-class example of their final & rarest EP is a 1966 1st UK pressing on the yellow & black Parlophone label: GEP 8952
Both labels bear the 'Sold in UK..' text with 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.
The 'KT' purchase tax code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label.
Housed in a front laminated, pointed bi-flipback picture cover, complete with its original plastic inner.
Matrix numbers: 7TCE 904-1 & 7TCE 905-1
Stamper codes: 1/P & 1/T
N.B. This is a different copy to the one I sold on the 14/3/10.
CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate unworn set with just a single light spindle mark to the side 1 centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean, bright & glossy displaying just a few barely visible light surface marks in strong daylight, but no scratches or heavy marks whatsoever. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than some harmless wispy paper hairlines, but no further blemishes or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
All tracks on this barely, if ever, played copy sound clean, warm & dry with no evidence of any groove/play wear to any. My careful play-check at volume picked up a few light ticks during 'Michelle' but none of the usual break-up or distortion. Both run-ins and bands play without interference and there are certainly no clicks, pops or any other such audible fault anywhere.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A spectacular example of this attractive cover with a undamaged high-gloss front laminate which displays little more than two faint 'thumbnails' towards the opening edges and an unavoidable light inner ring. All corners are clean & sharp and both opening edges, unworn. The rear panel is perfectly clean, white & unblemished with just a faint bend towards the lower right corner. Tough to find a better example than this.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5.00 GBP**
