Description
My Bonnie 1962 POLYDOR 1st Pressing
Cat. No. 46 612 LPHM Hi-Fi
The 1962 original 1st pressing German release, and the first ever LP to feature The Beatles. At the time they were still named “The Beat Brothers”.
Extremely rare LP, these will only come up for sale few and far between over long time periods.
Condition of the sleeve is Fair, it is in a state of disrepair to part of the spine and edges, but otherwise is intact and retaining its gloss. It is still fit for purpose and is quite rigid but is not the best, although I don’t think it would be any worse than any others still in existence.
Condition of the vinyl is a strong Very Good, verging on Very Good Plus. There is nothing which spoils the overall look, in fact it is very respectable and is immediately obvious it will play well. It retains a bright mirror-like shine all over, has no detractions such as groove wear, needle drops, scratches, wraps etc. However, it does have a fair few non-troublesome hairlines here and there. Has clearly only been played in moderation and handled well.
The original inner sleeve is also included, in a pretty good condition with no splits, and is amazing it has survived.
Labels are pretty nice as only has minimal wear to spindle point perimeter but no spindle lines etc and no defects.
The audio is great, would say Very Good Plus. Apart from a few noticeable tics and a little non-distracting background interference in the run-in's and fade-out's it is pretty much faultless, there was no pick-up of tics or background interference over the main body of music in any track on my equipment. No major detractions such as sticks, skips, jumps, pops, etc, apart from one jump on Skinny Minny.
This a great opportunity to listen to and own an original recording of the Fab Four (and Tony Sheridan) before they made it huge. Bright and clear punchy vocals with a deep bass, and kicking lucid instrumentals. Wow, what a rare find and a great listen!
I take the packaging of LP’s with the utmost of care and consideration.
