This 1971 UK stereo vinyl LP offers a beautifully preserved look at the Fab Four's earliest professional recordings. The Beatles featuring Tony Sheridan - The Early Years is a classic budget reissue of The Beatles' First (originally put out by Polydor in 1964). Bearing the white and blue Contour label with the original "℗ 1962" recording publication dates, this 33 rpm album delivers a clean, historic audio window into the group's energetic German club era.

This specific copy is graded in strong EX-/EX condition, making it a wonderful option for buyers looking for a better-preserved example of this common compilation. The original fully laminated jacket presents a sharp, high-gloss finish with only minor shelf wear visible along the edges. On the disc itself, the vinyl surfaces are exceptionally clean and retain a bright sheen that promises an excellent, smooth, and quiet play-back performance on your turntable.

The historical 12-track selection brings together legendary Hamburg takes featuring Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers, including "Let's Dance" and "Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby", next to early Beatles milestones like "Ain't She Sweet". Meticulous dead wax collectors will find the first lacquer cuts (A//1 and B//1) in the runout grooves alongside the corrected 2870 125 music cassette numbering error.
