THE BEATLES
Please Please Me
Rare Original Mid-'60s STEREO Pressing!
On offer here is a rare, original STEREO copy of the Beatles debut LP Please Please Me. This is the UK pressing on the Parlophone label that features the yellow / black label design, Sold in UK statement and Gramophone rimtext.
Going by the cover and label style this copy dates to around 1966. At this time mono was still the dominant format and so stereo sales still sold poorly in comparison. It's very difficult to find original stereo copies of their albums, especially their earlier ones!
A nice example of his hard to find variation!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title Please Please Me Year of Release 1966? Catalogue Number PCS 3042 Label Yellow / Black Parlophone with Gramo rimtext and Sold in UK statement Tax Code on Disc KT Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod and Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number YEX 94-1 Side 2 Matrix Number YEX 95-1 Side 1 Stampers 1 / AG Side 2 Stampers 1 / RT Cover Condition The cover is in VG+/EX- condition. The cover is holding fine with no splits or tears or anything, and with all seams and the spine intact. The front is looking nice and clean with a great laminate shine with minimal rubbing and just a little creasing and rounding around the edges and corners. The back is clean but has discoloured a little with a few small stains down at the bottom left and right corners as you can see in the photos below. All in all, a decent example! Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeve is in VG- condition. The original inner sleeve is included and is looking really nice and flat with minimal disc impression. However, the bottom and both sides seams have started to split in the middle and one of the labels has a tear that has been repaired with cellotape which brings the grade down. Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG condition. The disc has a nice shine to it and looks clean but has a fair amount of light, faint surface scuffing. Nothing at all nasty or serious looking, though. Label Condition The labels are in EX condition. Both labels are very clean with just a littler spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
