Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:50899667 | Artist: Mono |
| Record Label: Parlophone |
Superb overall complete copy of this much sought after FIRST UK Beatle album released in 1963!
This is the 4th pressing first released in the summer of 1963 with black label and yellow logo and silver print. "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." is printed at the start perimeter print and "Recording first published 1963" at the 9 o'clock position.
Correct original sleeve with Angus McBean credit starting at the end of g in songs and Ernest J. Day Co. Ltd credit on the lower edge of the... back cover. Complete copy offered with original tracing paper lined Emitex die cut inner!
Sleeve: VG Really nice example of a 1963 laminated original cover! Most copies you see are in pretty rough shape but this copy retains original gloss and firmness. Spine is in tact and readable. No seem splits. There is corner and edgewear and some minor creasing on the back cover. There is a name written on the back cover.
Record: Plays VG A great listen! There are a few deeper light scratches that add to the surface noise in between tracks with the occasional popping. It did not skip or loop on my turntable. Labels have no writing. In the past it looks to have been cleaned ultrasonically which could have added some of the hairlines in the dead wax. This cleaning and fixing of some deeper spots, however, seems to have improved condition of the sound while playing as it actually sounds really good for its age.
Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 421-1N; Side 2: XEX 422-1N.
A very nice collectible copy!!
The original cover from 1963 alone is probably worth the Buy It Now price!
