THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few MONTHS of issue from the SPRING of 1963 when Beatlemania was just about to go totally global!

ONE OF THE BAND'S BEST, SONGS THAT WOULD INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF OTHER MUSICIANS!

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 45 YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/ONLY VERY SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE "PEAKS"MAINLY AT THE END OF EACH SIDE!  

Copies of this album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!

Just to explain, in early 1963, EMI decided to change the label design of Parlophone which had been used for 10 years with a more modern logo and the last"gold print"Labels were made in the FIRST couple of WEEKS of this LPs issue-so only early bird buyers got the LP with THAT design. Naturally it was a big seller,even for a debut LP but outside of LIVERPOOL and LONDON, the Beatles were STILL regarded as a singles act until much later in the year, by which time the NEWER label design had replaced the GOLD PRINT.

EVEN SO,LATER REPRINTS USING THE YELLOW/BLACK DESIGN STARTED BY THE START OF 1964 WITH SMALLER"MONO"LOGOS ON THE COVER AND ALTERNATIVE LABEL LAYOUT.THIS COPY IS STILL WELL WITHIN THE FIRST 2-3 MONTHS OF ISSUE,HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE EXISTANCE OF THE VERY SHORT LIVED"GOLD"PRINT, IT WOULD BE CLASSED AS A FIRST PRESSING!!!!! 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many fans not getting THIS LP until the END of 1963 by which time,the LATER printing was coming in.

I have kept hold of several great copies over the years but the time has come to thin down the collection!

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

THE MONO MIXES WERE THOSE THAT THE BAND OVERLOOKED AND HAD TOTAL INVOLVEMENT WITH! 

Those that were sticking with mono were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.

Also the Stereo mixes are very hard to listen to with vocals one side and most of the backing on the other.

The MONO mixes are far punchier but is rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

IN MANY CASES TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO VERSIONS WITH FASCINATING VARIATIONS-EXTRA EFFECTS AND GUITAR"LICKS"!

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THE BEATLES and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS! 

The surface marks are MINIMAL!

There is A LITTLE surface crackle, but it is MINIMAL.

NO DEEP MARKS!

NO NASTY SCUFFS!

THE COVER HAS SOME CORNER CREASES AND TINY CORNER WEAR + A LITTLE FAINT STAINING AT THE BACK, BUT NO NASTY RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.

SPINE DETAILS-CLEAR,SHARP AND NOT SQUASHED DOWN OR WORN. 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

ORIGINAL EMITEX  INNER SLEEVE.

EMI RECORDS ADVERSTISING SLEEVES CAME ON LATER PRESSINGS!   

AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.
