Collecting Tips: 1960s Vinyl
1960s pressings — especially mono original UK Parlophone Beatles, early EMI India and HMV Calcutta pressings — are the crown jewels of vinyl collecting. Look for: original Parlophone black/gold label (Beatles), early HMV and Odeon first-press Indian LPs (look for “Made in India” on the label), and mono mixes which were the primary format before stereo became standard. Condition matters enormously — a VG++ 1960s pressing plays far better than a VG copy.
