THE BEATLES
"LOVE ME DO b/w P.S. I LOVE YOU" PARLOPHONE 45-R 4949 RELEASED 5th OCTOBER 1962
STAMPERS 1 M 1 A MATRICES -1N -1N
ZT TAX CODE SIDE 2 CENTRE AND BOTH RUN OUT GROOVES
VERY EARLY PRESSING WITH RED AND SILVER LABELS WITH "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962" LABEL TEXT
THIS IS THE EARLIEST OF THE KNOWN FIVE VARIATONS TO DATE OF THIS LABEL AND SHOWS THE LABEL MATRIX NUMBER TO THE LEFT OF THE "ARDMORE AND BEECHWOOD " CREDIT ABOVE IT, WHICH ITSELF IS NEARER THE TOP SILVER LINE THAN THE BOTTOM
ALTHOUGH THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW THE RECORD AS CLEAN AND GLOSSY IT DOES HAVE LOTS OF SLEEVE RETENTION MARKS AND OTHER HANDLING MARKS BUT NONE APPEAR FEELABLE
THERE IS HOWEVER A SMALL WARP ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE BUT THE RECORD DOES PLAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT JUMPING OR STICKING
I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW THE WARP IN THE PHOTO'S TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA
A TEST PLAY PRODUCES LIGHT CRACKLE TO BOTH SIDES WHEN PLAYING BUT THE AUDIO IS STILL LISTENABLE AT VOLUME
LABELS ARE CLEAN BRIGHT AND LEGIBLE WITH VERY LIMITED WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE ,AND THE SPINDLE MARKS SEEM TO BE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES
RECORD COMES IN AN ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE STRIPED SLEEVE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME
POSSIBLY THE OLDEST BEATLES COLLECTABLE SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD THIS YEAR
I JUST THINK LIKE A LOT OF THESE EARLY BEATLE RECORDS THEY WERE PLAY AND HANDLED WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT TO HOW COLLECTABLE THEY WOULD BE IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS
LISTED FOR ITS COLLECTABILITY SO WE WILL START THIS COPY AT A LOW PRICE
