The Beatles – Yellow Submarine

The original pressing is the best pressing for this record.

Very good all analog pressing - quiet flat and punchy

Is there a listing for the Italian mono pressing of this? My friend owns this and Help! in mono but there doesn't seem to be a listing for either. Thanks!

If you are interested in an unplayed copy, unfortunately without cover, please feel free to contact me ....

I thoroughly enjoyed this pressing, though I would have preferred an EP with only the songs of side one. To me it sounds lively and engaging and I could hear much that I had not heard before in the mix.

What a great album. Many Beatles fans overlook this album for some reason. When I was a kid yes..but now that I can appreciate classical music ...it is really beautiful..side 2....Side one yes..only 3 new songs...but as a whole side one is awesome. This particular record was a gamble...I had 2 other Japanese versions to choose from...so I got this one. I only have Help! in the AP series and that sounds amazing also...nothing different here..the sound is just great...almost 50 years old and it sounds more vibrant and quiet than my 2012 version on heavy vinyl..go figure.

Matrix/Runout is a little different in a variant I have:

Barcode (Scan): 077774644525
Label Code: LC 0542
Other (DADC Code): DIDX 1903
Matrix / Runout: 46445 1-1-7 MASTERED BY EMI MFG.
Mastering SID Code: IFPI L043
Mould SID Code: ifpi 1635

This sounds really good with quiet vinyl and nice tight bass. A winner and still relatively cheap for some reason.

Folks, BEFORE You List Your Copy For Sale, Please Double Check it! (mainly pertains to USA sellers, BTW)

If it mentions Capitol Records & Hollywood, CA in small green print on the hype sticker, just above the bar code, then it's a USA pressing, pressed at Rainbo Records and should be listed as such.

However, If it mentions EMI Records Ltd, "Marketed and distributed by EMI. Printed In The EU. UK " after it, it's pressed at Optimal in Germany and is a EU/UK pressing and should be listed as that version.

If it says made in Canada, then it's a recent GZ, USA/Canadian pressing, similar to the original 2012 Optimal/Rainbo run, but obviously different and should be listed under that entry. Always double check before listing your copy and save yourself a possible return, plus buyers the frustration/disappointment of receiving the wrong version, because it was listed incorrectly. Pressing plants matter! :)

In conclusion, It'll always say the country of origin right on the back of the album, if you look hard enough, again, either on the front hype sticker, a small white rectangular sticker on the rear cover, or it'll be printed directly on the shrinkwrap itself, so please list it accordingly. 🙏
