The Beatles
PLEASE PLEASE ME
5th PRESS UK LP
ALL COMPLETE & ORIGINAL
**WITH THE RARER E J Day cover**
*166g*


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....

HEAVYWEIGHT QUALITY 166g
EX! Gorgeous, heavy vinyl.
I notice ONLY A VERY FEW INCREDIBLY light marks to her-
 certainly: NO SKIPS OR JUMPS
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.
GORGEOUS
FLAT, HEAVY, SHINY AND ORIGINAL!
GREAT RAW SOUND TOO


Labels: EX-. There's just minimal central hole wear with light spindle marks evident when angled towards the light.
 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.
SUPER EXAMPLE
(I have only just noticed a small name in fine black biro-only evient when angled towards the light-nothing at all to worry about!)

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS


Inner: EX- It is a the ORIGINAL USE EMITEX poly-lined inner.
Looks superb!
NO SPLITS
Carries the very early text in clear print:
"PATENTS APPLIED FOR"
which was later removed.
CERTAINLY DONE HER JOB IN LOOKING AFTER THIS WONDERFUL SLAB OF VINYL FOR ALL THESE YEARS!
There is some writing of the title and a nameto this-again, nothing terrible.

Cover: EX-.
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 only light wear to this cover.
A few fingers of spidering emanating from the seams and some wrinkles showing part of the records outline..Nothing at all to worry about.
There is some knocking to the corners, but again, nothing bad at all.
Lovely EJ Day flipbacks.
STRONG INTACT & LEGIBLE SPINE
RARE and in great shape!
Small name to the back card.
STRONG CORNERS
SUPERB SPINE
Heavy card.


ALL IN ALL-THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION, WITH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, LOVELY COVER AND ALL COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PATENTS APPLIED FOR INNER.....AS THE BEATLES WANTED YOU TO RECEIVE THEM, BACK IN THE DAY... :)
