The Beatles
PLEASE PLEASE ME
5th PRESS UK LP
ALL COMPLETE & ORIGINAL
**WITH THE RARER E J Day cover**
*165g*


This was the very first official release, being released on the 22nd of March 1963 (MONO version) and later on the 26th of April 1963 (STEREO version). The Lp reached number one in; Disc Weekly, Melody Maker,  New Musical Express and The Record Retailer in the UK. Only to be knocked off by their next album With The Beatles.

 Amazingly the songs, which were taken from their first two singles and included a further ten songs, were all recorded in one marathon session at Abbey Road Studios. John wasn't feeling too well and got throught the 3 sessions in the one day by having milk, tea and Zubes lozenges....

VG...(VG+ AUDIO)
 Gorgeous, heavy vinyl.
I have just finished listening to all of her and found VERY LITTLE background noise, she played through with a superb rich deep bass reproduction with clear peaks too. I was very surprised at the wonderfull clear quality audio as she does carry a lot of light marks as well as a few scuffs...But certainly nothing to make her jump or skip on my Focus One deck, fitted with SME arm and an Audio Technica stylus.
GORGEOUS
FLAT, HEAVY, SHINY AND ORIGINAL!
GREAT RAW SOUND TOO


Labels:
VG+.
 There is barely any central hole wear with just light spindle marks evident when angled towards the light...Please see the detailed images for yourselves.
 Outer rim text starts with "The Parlophone Co.Ltd" "Recording First Published 1963" stated under the printed matrix number.
NO "Sold In UK..." statement...Showing it is the 5th pressing.
SOLID EXAMPLE
NO WRITING

Inner:
VG.
 It is an ORIGINAL "Use Emitex" inner
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
& the much rarer "PATENTS APPLIED FOR"
No split to the seams, just feathering to the opening and spots of staining as can be seen in the image provided.
CERTAINLY DONE HER JOB IN LOOKING AFTER THIS WONDERFUL SLAB OF VINYL FOR ALL THESE YEARS!
NO WRITING

Cover:
VG.
RARER 1st PRINTING EJ DAY COVER
( These were produced at roughly a ratio of 1:10, compared to the usual Garrod & Lofthouse covers)
 There is some light wear to this cover....
A small amount of spidering eminating from the bottom right front corner...Nothing to worry about.
There is some knocking to the corners, with the bottom left carrying a split.
The EJ Day flipbacks are in good condition, however the top and bottom flipback to the back do have some creasing to the flipback, not noticeable when looking at the front cover. They remain in good solid condition and the credit for E J Day remains superbly clean and clear.
As you can also see in the images provided; there is a name and address written in fountain pen to the back card.
STRONG INTACT & LEGIBLE SPINE
NO SPLITS
Heavy card.


ALLIN ALL-THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION, WITH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, SOLID EJ DAY COVER AND ALL COMPLETE WITH THE PERIOD USE EMITEX INNER WITH THE PATENTS APPLIED FOR.....AS THE BEATLES WANTED YOU TO RECEIVE THEM, BACK IN THE DAY... :)
!!QUALITY AUDIO!!
