Is this a Decca contract pressing?
Is it an 8th pressing?

Sorry for the poor image.

No, this is not from Ireland. It's a 2003 pressing made by Record Industries in Haarlem, the Netherlands (the old Sony plant, hence the Sony ring). It was pressed for export to the UK and has "Made in UK" in the perimeter print. It was also sold in Holland at the time. The label in black, but the picture is poor and that is why it looks grey (indeed resembling an Irish pressing a bit). The record comes in a UK sleeve, with 2 Apple logos.,

I bought the whole series when it came out in 2003 (all Beatles LPs were pressed, except "Beatles for sale" of which only test pressings exist). The sound quality of these is excellent. I prefer them over the remastered "digital" stereo version, which are not good imo.

Oh sorry, you are right Servi, not expected a question for a 2000+ release.
