The Beatles Let It Be Uk Pressed Export P pcs 7096 On The Columbia Label

isnwecp THE BEATLES - LET IT BE UK PRESSED EXPORT ISSUE P-PCS 7096 COLUMBIA LABEL PRESSING CATALOGUE: COLUMBIA P-PCS 7096 MATRIX:YEX 773-2U / 774-2Y GRAMPHONE CO RIM WORDING MADE IN GT BRITAIN AT THE FOOT OF THE LABEL WELL WHERE TO START WITH THIS INCREDIBLE VOLUME? LETS START BY SAYING THAT UNLIKE THE UK MISPRESSING OF REVOLVER WHERE SIDE 2 HAD A COLUMBIA LABEL, THIS IS GENUINE BONI-FIDE UK MADE EXPORT COPY ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL.
THE RECORD WAS FOUND IN A BOX OF VINYL S IN KENYA.
IT MAY BE THAT THE RECORD WAS EXPORTED TO KENYA, OR THAT IT WAS TAKEN THERE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THIS IS UNKNOWN THERE IS NO TRACE OF THIS VERSION WHATSOEVER ON THE MAJOR VAKUE SITES LIKE DISCOGS AND POPSIKE.
THERE IS MENTION OF IT ON THE WWW.YOKONO.CO.UK WEBSITE, WHICH STATES THAT IT IS UNCERTAIN THAT IT WAS EVER RELEASED, AND THAT IS THE ONLY INFORMATION ON IT -- P-PCS Columbia Export Series -- Two EMI mark type Let It Be P-PCS 7096 I don t know whether Columbia type was released IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING AND SELLING BEATLES VINYL S I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS ANYTHING EVEN SIMILAR.
MY BELIEF IS THAT THIS CAN SERIOUSLY BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE RAREST BEATLES VINYLS ON THE PLANET IT WAS HOUSED IN THE STANDARD UK EXPORT SLEEVE WHICH HAS THE PARLOPHONE LOGO ON THE REAR SURFACE WHERE ON THE UK PRESSES THE APPLE LOGO WOULD HAVE BEEN.
THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS NOT FANTASTIC, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS SURFACE MARKS AND LINES COVERING BOTH SIDES.
AMD ONE FEELABLE SCRATCH ON THE FINAL TRACK OF SIDE ONE.
HOWEVER THE VINYL DOES PLAY WITHOUT DISTORTION SO THERE HAS BEEN NO GROOVE WEAR.
IT PLAYS WITH LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND POPS AND TICS.
I HAVE RECORDED ONE TRACK FROM EACH SIDE TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOUND.
BUT EVEN WITH THIS BLEMISHED SURFACE THE VINYL IS STILL SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW BEATLES COLLECTORS IN THE WORLD WILL HAVE- IF ANY AT ALL DO HAVE IT THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION THEM PLEASE JUST DROP ME AN EMAIL GARRY Powered by eBay Turbo Lister
