THE BEATLES With The Beatles (1964 German issue of the 1963 14-track stereo vinyl LP, seldom seen fully silk laminated picture sleeve variant with green top border & tracklisting and liner notes in German on the reverse. This second issue has the gold rimmed Odeon label & an 'Odeon stereo' over stickered original mono [O83568] sleeve. Apart from a name written unobtrusively on the back, the sleeve is in excellent condition with minimal shelfwear, just a little laminate creasing and fully legible spine print. The vinyl too remains in excellent condition, with just a few light surface hairlines to show for nearly fifty years. This is the rare issue with the unique hi-hat intro at the beginning of 'All My Loving'. Upon playtesting, we can assert that what visible scuffs there are remain predominantly cosmetic in nature, with surface noise almost non existent & distortion at a minimum. A very nice copy of this hard to find issue at an advantageous price! STO73568)
