BEATLES LP PLEASE PLEASE ME 1963 MONO Y/B PARL NICE CONDITION.

On offer is a nice condition BEATLES LP - PLEASE PLEASE ME released in the UK in MONO on the yellow-black PARLOPHONE label PARLOPHONE PMC 1202 in 1963.

This particular pressing is the MONO  2nd Yellow / Black pressing - with the ‘‘THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.’ / ‘RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963’ label text but without ‘Sold in the UK…’  The LP has the Ernest J. Day sleeve and comes with its original ‘USE EMITEX’ polythene –lined inner sleeve. The cover has the large ‘mono’ on the front cover. .

This is a nice EX condition original PLEASE PLEASE ME Beatles LP as follows –

·         The vinyl is visually in extremely nice clean and clear condition with a lovely sheen to it. The grading of the disc is a LOVELY (and very strong ) EX condition with just a couple of hairline minor marks not affecting play

·         I have test played the LP for this auction (for the first time in many years!) and it sounds great! To play it is a treat: it has a lovely full sound – very rich with absolutely no off-putting background surface noise at all. Indeed it is really is a lovely sounding LP.

·         The Matrix numbers are: Side 1: XEX 421-1N. Side 2: XEX 422 -1N.

·         The disc has nice clear, clean labels on both sides of the LP. There is a tiny amount of spindle mark. The label has ‘THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.’ ‘RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963’ text and has the K.T. tax code. 

·         The Ernest J Day laminated flip-back picture sleeve has a very clean and clear front picture sleeve with some minor creasing in two of the corners - and is in EX- condition . The back (non-laminated) cover is in VG condition: there is a crease in the upper right hand corner and there is a small tear in the top left hand corner and about 1 inch of the flip- back is missing from the bottom right hand corner. It also has some yellowing to the white cardboard (see close up scans).The LP has been kept stored in a plastic sleeve for the many years I have owned it. It is a very clean and tidy LP sleeve indeed. 

·         The LP has its original ‘USE EMITEX’ Parlophone inner – which is in intact and in VG condition: ever since I purchased this LP many years ago I have kept the disc housed in a white inner (also supplied) to protect the original EMITEX inner. 

Overall this is a very nice PLEASE PLEASE ME mono – I would overall grade this as an EX-/VG  picture sleeve cover with a lovely EX disc that plays EX+ and as such this would be a nice addition to a Beatles collection.
