Description



The BEATLES
*THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO* UK 1st pressing - 1969
*Factory Sample* (EMI did not prepare any demonstration discs for this single, so this is the closest you will get to one)  
Matrix: Side 1: 7YCE 21306-1U                          Stamper code: 1/RO Matrix: Side 2: 7XCE 21307-1U                          Stamper code: 1/RA


I have collected factory sample/demo discs over the years. I have others listed along with this one, right now.


Audio:
EX+
Both sides play perfectly.


Visually:
EX+
This is a conservative grading. In reflected daylight the surfaces appear near pristine, with just the lightest of wispy hairlines. Beautiful glossy vinyl. Obviously there are more wispy handling lines under a searchlight beam.


Labels:
EX+
Again, near perfect. Just a few light spindle trails to each side. Side one displays a genuine 'Factory Sample' sticker.



Sleeve:
EX
High gloss 'Apple' issue. Hard to find an original this good.


The photos are of the actual item for sale. All records are thoroughly cleaned and listened to, from beginning to end. Professional mailers are always used. 

I will be listing more Beatles records, so please have a look
