Classic  BEATLES MONO  album on PARLOPHONE records, this is the rarest by some distance.
 This is the one most collectors want.  This very heavy pressing on the original labels  and it plays beautifully.
With just a tiny few ultra faint surface blemishes on the record, it has faired well for its considerable vintage,
all evidence strongly suggests very few plays. The flimsy lightweight cover has also survived the years well.

  Cover Grade : EX still highly attractive. A single front only laminated sleeve made with very thin and soft card,
this bends easily and should not be held on any single corner.

Lamination – Front only: The laminate retains a lovely shine and clarity with hardly any friction rubs or dulling.  There is no rim wear which is amazing with a 160 gram record inside for well over 46 years.  

Bottom Edge: No wear at all, suprisingly straight given the lack of width.
Opening: Quite sharp with no wear and no feathering.
Spine and Text: Incredibly thin again, compressed or not, not sure. As solid and straight as could be expected.
 All text is perfect and unworn under the solid laminate. 
Corners: the four corners are undamaged (see photos) except for one minor corner bump at the top left.

Cover Summary:

A very fine all round example of this very fragile mid 60’s cover, one that will prove difficult to find much better.
This still looks attractive with any flaws or wear modest and light, it should
please many collectors but not the perfectionists of course.
 Do not underestimate just how delicate, light and flimsy this highly damage-prone cover
 is, made even more so with a very heavy record inside.

Vinyl Condition/Visual Grading: EX and with any few surface marks light and faint. Finding a genuine
 first pressed copy of this elusive
 PARLOPHONE "LOUD CUT" classic  will prove hard.
 A super visual copy that is  clean, shiny, intense black and very heavily pressed.
 A copy with only light use on all the evidence. Visually a super record that should please many collectors.
The  sound quality is very high with a wide dynamic range and very detailed sound.
 Any surface sounds are minimal indeed and no significant pops or clicks were noted and
 this is an exceptional clean pressing.

 Few copies will outperform this very early pressing significantly I feel sure. Both channels are clean and sharp,
 I am certain this record has been played very lightly and has been carefully handled.
 These vintage albums rarely escape a few faint surface blemishes or hairlines 
and this example sets the bar high with any blamish not affecting the playback. Nothing spoilt my
pleasure when play-grading this wonderful record.
I have played the  record in its entirety it sounds just as if it came out of the record shop yesterday.
Playing through my Marantz speakers  there is the VERY OCCASIONAL bit of crackle between tracks/fades.
There are NO pops NO ticks NO clicks No groovewear No repeats NO jumps
None of the 14 tracks sounds inferior  in sound quality or reproduction
to any of the others. Superb to listen to, this  46 year old record
sounds as fresh as on the first day.

I will play grade this as EX (probably better)

      This copy will prove very difficult to find significantly better and can be strongly recommended.
If the quality of the sound and music is a priority over minor cover and visual blemishes
 this could be the copy you have been waiting for.

 

I play all my records in their entirity and do not
rely on a guess as to how they sound
