PLEASE NOTE: THIS RECORD HAS A FEW HAIRLINE MARKS AND A COUPLE OF SURFACE MARKS. CRACKLES CAN BE HEARD IN SOME PLACES BUT MUSIC OVERPOWERS THEM AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS PLAYS VERY WELL ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE LINES THAT ARE ON THERE ARE VERY LIGHT AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAY QUALITY APART FROM THE ODD CRACKLE HERE AND THERE AS TO BE EXPECTED FOR A RECORD FROM 1963.

FEW MARKS ON RUNOUT GROOVE. HOWEVER, RECORD SOUNDS FANTASTIC FOR AGE
RECORD HAS A FEW HARLINES AND A FEW SURFACE MARKS . CRACKLES CAN BE HEARED IN SOME PARTS AS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS AND SOUNDS GREAT FOR IT'S AGE. THE MUSIC OVERPOWERS THE CRACKLING AND REALLY I MUST ADMIT IT'S NOT A BAD PRESSING AT ALL! BIT OF A RELUCTANT SALE AFTER LISTENING TO IT AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THE OKI NOKI CLEANER NOW, SAYING THAT THOUGH WITHOUT IT BEING CLEANED SOUNDED FAB. THEREFORE A CLEAN MAY BENEFIT EVEN MORE. HOWEVER AS I SAID SOUNDS GREAT FOR IT'S AGE.
COVER IS SHOWING ITS AGE. THIS COULD DO WITH A CLEAN IF POSSIBLE? THATS UP TO BUYER, SOLD AS IT IS. HAS A CLEAN SPLIT AT BOTTOM OF SLEEVE SEAM . THIS IS NOT TORN IT HAS JUST COME AWAY WITH TIME AND IS WELL KNOWN WITH THIS LP. COULD POSSIBLY BE MENDED, BUT AGAIN THAT IS UP TO THE BUYER. IT SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF CORNER SHELF WEAR AND LITTLE FRAYS. HOWEVER ALL IS INTACT APART FORM THE BOTTOM SEAM AS EXPLAINED AND BEING A BIT STAINED. APART FROM THIS ALL ELSE IS WHOLE AND SPINE IS GOOD FOR AGE AS WELL. INNER IS ORIGINAL AND IS IN ONE PIECE.
ALL IN ALL A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST PRESSING BY THE BEATLES

Early Pressing
The stampers/mother codes are
Side 1- AT 3 O CLOCK G1.1 - Most likely GMAND AT 9 0 CLOCK 2
SIDE 2 AT 3 O CLOCK GA AND AT 9 O CLOCK 1
Please note: There was a G1.1 sold a few years ago online that you will find if you search. I can't add links on here. However, Could possibly be an M? But is certainly not an H. Therefore is up for debate whether it is 1.1 sure looks like it and I am going by another 2 private listings described the same way. I leave that at your discretion. However, I believe is most likely an M as they didn't put numbers after the letter.
PLEASE NOTE: PAYPAL ONLY. I WILL SEND OVERSEAS BUT PLAESE READ ALL THE DESCRIPTION AND LOOK AT PICTURES. YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON A BRAND NEW MINT CONDITION RECORD. THIS RECORD PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED FOR IT'S AGE WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. AND IS USED CONDITION FROM 1963 ORIGINAL MEGA RARE RECORD.
