Description
An original 1st press of 'MTB' on the Capitol label - from Jamaica. Matrix P9/T12 and stamped with the Scranton 'IAM'. Most Beatles records were pressed in great numbers and are about as far from being "rare" as you could possibly imagine. But every now and again something pops out of the ether which is both Beatles & rare. These Jamaican copies are few and far between - take a look on-line...they are extremely hard to track down. This heavy-set pressing from '64 comes housed in a standard USA cover [they all did]. The cover is most definitely original to '64 with the paste-over front as you tend to find in this period.
Vinyl (Ex-) In impressive condition and has clearly been cared for. Not all '64 Beatles records look or play like this copy. Under close inspection there are a few light marks - nothing feelable or likely to cause issue. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, NEAREXCELLENT level of playback with only one deviation. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity. If you're looking for a sweet playing clean copy - you could do a lot worse than this copy. Delivery is clean with lots of punchy energy. Difficult to find fault. Yes you might detect just a touch of lightest static briefly in a couple of spots per side [precious little]. The only track which I'd describe as having "a bit of background" is 'This Boy'. But even, here, this is relatively minor and does not intrude on the audio [it is palatable/acceptable]. Overall a blindingly good player and, considering the vintage, you'd struggle to find a better playing copy.
Cover (Vg+) The front cover looks superb. Very few of these early unlaminated covers look anywhere near this good. Most will exhibit a lot of surface wear. This example looks impressively clean with lovely strong colours. It might grade higher, but for the fact that the rear has aged. Unless you managed to keep your copy in cellophane for 50 years.. most are going to have aged to a certain level. But it's still relatively clean and of an acceptable standard. Edge wear is considerably less than you typically find from this period. The text on the spine is all still legible - but do expect some ageing. Thanks to the heavy card construction this cover still retains excellent rigidity.
