We are offering a significant price reduction. This is a highly rare Australian original stereo first pressing of the Beatles' landmark debut album! The disc is incredibly clean, considering it's from half a century ago, and plays very well. If you're looking for a rare Australian first pressing (and a stereo one at that) in good condition, I don't think you'll find anything better. The first pressing has a black label, while this one has a second pressing orange label. Even later UK labels (around the 6th pressing) are expensive, costing nearly 40,000 yen. Although it's a UK mother, unlike the UK originals, the Australian originals are said to have undergone less processing, allowing you to enjoy a milder and clearer sound. Stereo records were very rare at the time, making this a highly valuable item. The Beatles members were only present for the mixing of the mono versions, which resulted in numerous retakes and deterioration of the master tapes. However, the stereo versions were mostly untouched, resulting in a very fresh sound. PCS3042 YEX94-1 YEX95-1 The album begins with Paul McCartney's count-in and ends with John Lennon's vocals, which sound like he's about to lose his voice. It's the stereo version, with the instruments perfectly separated left and right, that allows you to hear their energy and delicate performance. The jacket is in good condition for being 60 years old, and the disc is truly clean, considering it's from 60 years ago. There are faint hairline scratches, but in my environment, I barely noticed any pops or noise, and there were no problems at all. I don't think it's possible to find an Australian original, especially a stereo version, in this condition. They are very rare in all countries. It's quite valuable and clean, but please purchase only if you understand that this is a used record. There are, of course, no fatal playback issues, but the actual playback condition, such as how the sound feels, varies depending on the shape and wear of the stylus, the characteristics of the cartridge, the arm settings, the tracking force, and the overall combination of playback equipment. I don't smoke, and I don't have any pets. Thank you. vinyl beatles johnlennon paulmccartney georgeharrison ringostarr george harrison ringo starr
