For collectors searching for an unusual international variant of the Fab Four's second album, this scarce 1973 stereo export pressing of With The Beatles is a standout choice. Manufactured in France for the UK market during a brief period of domestic pressing shortages, this 33 rpm LP features the black and silver Parlophone label with two EMI boxes and the specific "EMI RECORDS LTD" rim text. It provides a fascinating, highly collectible alternative audio window into the group's classic 1963 material, combining British mastering lineages with vintage French production.

The record comes housed in its original front-laminated picture sleeve, bearing the traditional British catalogue number PCS 3045. For discography specialists tracking dead wax variations, the runout grooves feature unique machine-stamped identifiers that include both the UK "YEX" codes and the distinctive French "M6" contract pressing plant timestamps. The 14-track layout delivers the entire definitive tracking order, including historic early recordings such as "All My Loving", George Harrison's first songwriting credit "Don't Bother Me", and their iconic vocal version of "Please Mister Postman".

This particular contract copy is preserved in exceptional EX/EX condition, making it a very tidy addition for anyone building a specialised Beatles catalogue collection. The front-laminated jacket remains brilliantly clean and glossy, displaying sharp corners and a crisp spine with minimal handling wear. The physical vinyl disc is similarly clean, keeping its original bright sheen and presenting immaculate surfaces that promise an excellent, smooth turntable performance.
