AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very rare UK export pressing of Beatles VI on Parlophone (CPCS 104), 1st pressing with the highly desirable 1G/1G stamper combination—among the first 300 copies pressed, making this an exceptionally scarce example.
Beginning in 1965, Parlophone began pressing and distributing copies of albums not available in that form in England, including Parlophone pressings of several US Capitol albums. The CPCS prefix was used for US-based albums, with the leading "C" standing for Capitol. Export series labels resembled their UK counterparts, except notably lacking the "Sold in UK" print. The 1G/1G stamper combination denotes an extremely early pressing from the initial run of approximately 300 copies—a significant rarity for serious collectors.
⸻
Sleeve (VG+):
A nice example with some creasing on the front and corner wear visible. Flipbacks remain clean, though some staining is present throughout. Overall presentation is solid, grading VG+.
Vinyl (VG-):
The vinyl shows considerable playwear with a grey sheen throughout. Side 1 exhibits lots of hairlines and scuffs with significant wear, though no feelable marks. Side 2 features one long hairline which is lightly feelable. Visually VG-, playback is adequate overall.
