This highly sought-after UK stereo pressing features the iconic black, silver, and white Two EMI Box Parlophone label with the distinct 'EMI RECORDS LTD' rim text. Safely protected inside its original picture sleeve, this specific variant showcases the small "stereo" logo printed neatly in the upper right corner, positioned outside the vibrant cover artwork and directly inside the white border.

An essential find for vinyl collectors, this 33 rpm LP carries the catalogue number PCS 7016. It is fully authenticated by its stamped and etched runout identifiers: YEX 619-3 2 PT HTM on Side A, and YEX 620-4 1 APM HTM on Side B, verifying the renowned audio mastering by legendary EMI engineer Harry Moss (HTM). Crucially, the original factory inner sleeve features the "1 81" date code, pinpointing its exact packaging and release to January 1981, making it one of the final classic EMI pressings before transitioning to the budget Fame series.

The record spans 16 definitive tracks, charting the band's historic run from 1963 to 1966. It includes massive number-one singles like "She Loves You", "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "Help!", and "Paperback Writer", alongside the rare studio track "Bad Boy", which was unavailable on any other contemporary British studio album.

Both the vintage sleeve and the vinyl disc are graded in conservative EX-/EX (Excellent) condition, ensuring clean, clear playback with superb acoustic warmth. The front and back covers remain exceptionally crisp, displaying only minor wear on the bottom edge.
