A remarkably crisp seventies United Kingdom seven-inch pressing, this single offers a brilliant opportunity to experience the legendary jangle-pop wall of sound that defined the group's 1965 studio breakthrough. This specific variant displays the elegant silver-on-black Parlophone label face, complete with the essential uppercase "EMI RECORDS LTD" rim lettering that identifies its exact manufacturing era. Equipped with a traditional four-pronged push-out centre configuration, this R 5265 catalogue entry is a key inclusion for vinyl archivists who methodically track the subtle typographic permutations across the band's British discography.

For dead wax specialists and collectors of stampers, this particular disc houses the preferred -3/-2 machine-stamped runout matrices paired with highly distinct, sharp factory coding (7XCE 18254-3 KT 10 MP on the lead face and 7XCE 18255-2 KT 11 AA on the reverse). These cuts deliver an incredibly warm, punchy, uncompressed audio presentation that truly sings on modern reference turntables. Lowering the stylus unleashes the hard-driving guitar drive of the main track "Ticket To Ride", perfectly paired with the hauntingly beautiful, three-part vocal harmonies of the melancholic B-side, "Yes It Is".

The wax is in Excellent (EX) condition, showcasing a deep mirror-like gloss, wonderfully clean playing surfaces, and pristine labels completely free from any spindle drag or ink markings.
