IN 1969 PARLOPHONE INTRODUCED A NEW LABEL DESIGN. THE NEW DESIGN REPLACED THE TRADITIONAL “YELLOW AND BLACK” LABEL AND NOW BOTH THE 'EMI' AND 'PARLOPHONE' LOGOS WERE PRINTED IN SILVER.  WHILE CURRENT BEATLES RELEASES FROM THIS PERIOD WERE ON ‘APPLE’, THE OLDER PARLOPHONE LPS WERE PRESSED USING THE NEW LABEL DESIGN. THE FIRST VARIATION OF THIS DESIGN HAD ONE ‘EMI’ LOGO PRINTED ON THE LABEL, THESE ARE NOW REFERRED TO AS “ONE BOX” OR “ONE MARK” PRESSINGS. THE NEW “ONE BOX” DESIGN WAS USED FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...PERHAPS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. SOMETIME IN 1970 A SECOND LABEL VARIATION WAS INTRODUCED AND THE “ONE BOX” LABELS WERE DISCONTINUED. THE 1969 “ONE BOX” LPS WERE MANUFACTURED USING THE SAME STAMPERS AS ORIGINAL PRESSINGS, WERE PRESSED ON THE SAME HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL AND WERE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL TRI-FLIPBACK FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVES

VINYL CONDITION

Visual:

SIDE ONE  NM / Full LUSTER and SHINE!  Close and careful inspection directly under a bright light source reveals a few wispy sleeve removal traces and one/two very small and light hairlines 

SIDE TWO  EX /  some wispy sleeve removal traces and light hairlines are visible when held at an angle beneath a bright light source with little to no effect on playback, please see the NM play grade below

Audio: 

SIDE ONE   NM / apart from a few very negligible and normal soft static pops during this sides most exposed track Michelle, side one plays as new 

SIDE TWO   NM / all tracks play cleanly and clearly. Despite three very soft repeat pops during What Goes On, there is little to fault...this sides most exposed tracks Girl and In My Life play perfectly

Labels:

SIDE ONE   NM / one or two very close and barely visible spindle traces

SIDE TWO  NM / two or three light spindle traces

A few light laminant creases and a lower right corner bend. Very light touch of ringwear to front sleeve only. Flipbacks are fairly white and intact. Back panel is clean with a touch of light rubbing to top right area and a few spots of rubbing to lower right area

All records are shipped inside protective plastic covers. I use professional mailers and two protective stiffeners. When posting, I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves (if original inner is present) to prevent seam splits during shipping
