1963 UK 2nd PRESS MONO LP
**FACTORY SAMPLE**
This excellent 1963 2nd mono pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PMC 1206

Both labels omit the 'Sold in UK..' text but have 'Parlophone Co..' rims.
The publishing credit for 'Money' is 'Dominion, Belinda'.
An 'MKT tax/price code is visible on the side 1 label.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed mono cover with the incorrect '..GOTTA..' spelling.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: XEX 447-7N & XEX 448-7N
Stamper numbers: 1,4/HO & 3/GDP
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
Pristine, clean & glossy surfaces retaining their 'as new' deep gloss shines, undulled by overplay or improper storage.
Just two very faint surface marks are visible in strong daylight on side 2 but no scratches or other blemishes whatsoever.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just some faint wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines but no other wear.
Very thick & heavy, sharp-edged vinyl which lies 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Barely played, this is a superb 'as new' sounding disc with no audible wear whatsoever.
Every track plays without any traces of crackle or groove-wear distortion.
Both run-ins & all bands play silently and there are no clicks, jumps or repeats anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT MINUS
A clean, glossy & unyellowed front panel which displays some light laminate wrinkles around the edges & just a single small thumbnail crease.
The corners have slight bruising but the opening edges clean with no tears or feathering.
The rear panel is clean & white showing just a single small age sport but no dirty fingerprints, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks, seams & the spine are intact, clean & undamaged.
All discs are carefully play graded in their entirety on a Rega P9 deck with an Ortofon Kontrapunkt 'A' cartridge.
All records are 100% guaranteed. Full refunds given if you are not satisfied
