An excellent vinyl disc highlights this scarce early 1973 UK stereo pressing of With The Beatles. This specific mid-seventies reissue features the transitional black and silver Parlophone label with two EMI boxes and the highly sought-after "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" rim text, just before EMI swapped to the standard "EMI RECORDS LTD" wording later that year. It offers a wonderful analogue option for collectors wanting to experience the Fab Four's definitive second studio album sourced from the early UK -2 lacquer cuts.

The record is presented in its original front-laminated picture sleeve, carrying the traditional British catalogue number PCS 3045. For discography specialists checking dead wax stamp variations, both sides show the machine-stamped -2 matrix identifiers alongside the original EMI plant mother and stamper codes (LG and TR). The 14-track selection delivers the legendary 1963 tracking order, including George Harrison's debut composition "Don't Bother Me", the classic "All My Loving", and high-energy rhythm and blues covers like "Money".

This individual copy is graded at VG/EX. The front-laminated outer jacket remains bright and structurally sound, showing some honest surface wear on the un-laminated back cover, a small vintage retail sticker, and a neat clear tape repair on the bottom right-hand corner. The physical vinyl disc is in clean condition, retaining its bright original sheen with some light, superficial surface marks that do not impact the high-quality stereo playback.
