DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) ALTHOUGH THE BEATLES CARTON FEATURE FILM "YELLOW SUBMARINE" PREMIERED IN ENGLAND ON JULY 17, 1968, THE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM WAS NOT RELEASED UNTIL SIX MONTHS LATER ON JANUARY 17, 1969. RECORD RETAILER PRAISED THE LP: "SIX FUN TRACKS FROM THE BEATLES PLUS SIX ORCHESTRATED GEORGE MARTIN COMPOSITIONS AND HIS ARRANGEMENTS OF "YELLOW SUBMARINE" FIT TOGETHER TO MAKE WHAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST ENTERTAINING BEATLES ALBUM YET". THE LP ENTERED THE RECORD RETAILER CHART AT NUMBER 37, WHILE "THE BEATLES" (WHITE ALBUM) WAS TOPPING THE CHARTS. THE FOLLOWING WEEK IT REACHED ITS PEAK POSITION OF NUMBER THREE. AS MONO PRESSINGS WERE SLOWLY BUT SURELY BEING PHASED OUT IN BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES IN 1967, THIS RARER MONAURAL PRESSING OF "YELLOW SUBMARINE" IS AN EXCELLENT AND SUPERB EXAMPLE AND IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT HAS SURFACED TO DATE. THE EARLY-TYPE FRONT LAMINATED, TRI-FLIPBACK 'GARROD LOFTHOUSE LTD.' PRINTED MONO COVER, WITH TRI-FLIP-BACK MONO COVER (WITHOUT PRINTER CREDIT), IS A STRONG NEAR MINT, A VIBRANT CLEAN EXAMPLE WHICH RETAINS AN UN-SCRATCHED HIGH-GLOSS LAMINATE FREE FROM ANY THUMBNAIL WRINKLES. THERE IS MINOR BRUISING TO THE LEFT CORNERS BUT NO WEAR AT ALL TO EITHER OPENING EDGE. THE REAR PANEL IS BRIGHT UNBLEMISHED AND ALL FLIP-BACKS, SEAMS AND THE SPINE ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.
THE RECORD IS AN AMAZING, STELLAR MINT
MINUS, APPEARING THAT IT JUST CAME OUT OF ITS COVER JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE
NEW. BOTH PLAYING SURFACES ARE CLEAN UNWORN WITH JUST A FEW HARMLESS MARKS FROM
THE INNER-SLEEVE VISIBLE BENEATH HALOGEN LIGHT. THIS BARELY PLAYED COPY SOUNDS
CLEAN AND UNWORN WITH NO AUDIBLE FAULTS OR DISTRACTIONS THROUGHOUT. THE DARK
GREEN APPLE LABELS ARE EQUALLY NEAR MINT AND MAGNIFICENT, A CLEAN BRIGHT PAIR
SHOWING NO MORE THAN TWO OR THREE LIGHT SPINDLE TRAILS AROUND EACH CENTRE HOLE. BOTH LABELS INCLUDE THE 'SOLD IN UK...'
TEXT. THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: YEX 715-1 AND YEX 716-1, WITH THE STAMPER
CODES: THIS SET IS COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL MATT-BLACK, DIE-CUT INNER DUST SLEEVE, IN NEAR MINT CLEAN UNWORN CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR SEAM SPLITS.
