THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PMC 1202 RELEASED MARCH 22nd 1963
THIS IS THE VERY FIRST BLACK AND GOLD LABEL PRESSING WITH DICK JAMES CREDITS FOR ALL THE McCARTNEY - LENNON TRACKS APART FROM 'LOVE ME DO & P.S. I LOVE YOU'
ALSO COMES IN THE VERY FIRST 'GOLD' SLEEVE AS IT IS SOMETIMES CALLED WITH 'E.J.DAY' MAKERS CREDIT ON THE REAR AND FAR RIGHT ANGUS McBEAN CREDIT ON THE FRONT WHERE THE 'P' IN 'Photo Angus McBean' SITS DIRECTLY UNDER THE END OF THE 'S' IN SONGS ABOVE IT
MT TAX CODE IS FROM 1st JANUARY 1963 TO 1st JULY 1963
STAMPERS P 1 T 1 MATRICES -1N -1N TAX CODE MT SIDE 1 CENTRE
RECORD SLEEVE IS IN CLEAN LEGIBLE CONDITION DOES HAVE SOME CREASING AROUND THE EDGES AND THE OPENING EDGE WITH SOME CORNER BUMPS AND THE ODD SPOT OF SEAM WEAR PLUS A LITTLE AGE FADING ON THE UNLAMINATED REAR INNER PANEL
EMITEX INNER SLEEVE APART FROM A LITTLE AGE FADING IS AGAIN IN CLEAN LEGIBLE CONDITION WITH LIMITED CREASING
WE HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD THROUGH A NUMBER OF TIMES IT PLAYS THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT PROBLEM AND COMES WITH QUIET RUN INS BUT THERE IS THE ODD LIGHT POP AND CRACKLE BUT DOESN'T REALLY SPOIL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE
THE VINYL RECORD STILL RETAIN'S A GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES BUT DOES HAVE LIGHT HANDLING AND NEEDLE MARKS TO BOTH SIDES ,THERE IS ONE JUST FEELABLE ON SIDE 2 BUT SEEMS TO PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT A PROBLEM
APART FROM A LITTLE WEAR AT THE CENTRE HOLE THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND APPEAR TO SHOW VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS
WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM AND WE DO FIND THAT EARLY HEAVYWEIGHT BEATLES VINYL DOES PLAY CONSISTENTLY WELL EVEN WITH HANDLING MARKS EVEN MORE SO WITH THE BLACK AND GOLDPRESSINGS
