BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE MONO PMC 1202 BLACK AND GOLD LABELS RELEASED 1963 STAMP[ERS 1 A 1 T MATRICES XEX 421-1N XEX 422-1N TAX CODE MZT SIDE 1 CENTRE
THIS COPY IS THE INITIAL FIRST PRESSING WITH DICK JAMES MUSIC CREDITS FOR "I SAW HER STANDING THERE" "MISERY" "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET"AND " THERE'S A PLACE"
THE REPUTED PRESSING RUN FOR THIS INITIAL RECORDING WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000
RECORD SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT PRINTED (Ernest J Day & Co Ltd ) ON SLEEVE REAR LOWER SEAM
SLEEVE FRONT HAS THE CORRECTLY PLACED FAR RIGHT (Photo: Angus Mcbean) FRONT RIGHT ON LOWER EDGE
THE LAMINATED SLEEVE FRONT IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME LIMITED SEAM EDGE WEAR /CREASING / CORNER BUMPS NOTHING WHICH AFFECTS THE TEXT OR IMAGES
SLEEVE REAR IS COMPLETE WITH ALL THREE FOLDOVER SEAMS AND IS FREE FROM ANY WRITING ,BEING UNLAMINATED THERE IS SOME AGE FADING TO THE WHITE AREAS BUT AGAIN ALL TEXT AND TITLES ARE LEGIBLE
TISSUE LINED EMITEX INNER IS IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR AGE FADING AND HAS THE ALBUM TITLE HAND WRITTEN TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH MANY RECORD SHOPS IN THE 60's DID AS THEY SPLIT THE RECORD FROM THE SLEEVE TO HOPEFULLY AVIOD ANY DAMAGE
BLACK AND GOLD LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CLEAN CONDITION FREE FROM ANY WRITNG OR STAINING WITH JUST SOME MINIMAL WEAR AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE AND VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS SHOWING
THE VINYL DISC SURFACES STILL RETAIN A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN WHEN VIEWED IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT
SIDE ONE DOES HAVE SOME SMALL HANDLING MARKS ONE OF WHICH IS FEELABLE BUT RECORD PLAYS THROUGH THEM ( THESE INITIAL FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL DISCS DO SEEM TO PLAY WELL UNDER MOST CIRCUMSTANCES)
SIDE TWO SEEMS FREE FROM ANY FEELABLE MARKS JUST THE NORMAL HANDLING MARKS ASSOCCIATED WITH A FIFTY TWO YEAR OLD RECORD
I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD THROUGH A NUMBER OF TIMES ON TWO DIFFERENT HI-FI SYSTEMS BOTH FROM THE 1960's
ON THE EARLIER SYSTEM WHICH HAS A HEAVIER PICK UP THAN LATER MODELS THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH FINE ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO SKIPS OR STICKING A LITTLE CRACKLY IN THE RUN IN AND SPACES BUT THE AUDIO IS GREAT TO LISTEN TO
ON THE LATER HI-FI SYSTEM THE AUDIO IS JUST AS GREAT BIT CRACKLY AS BEFORE IN THE RUN IN AND SPACES BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT VERY SLIGHT SLIP ON "BABY ITS YOU" BUT RECORD PLAYS THROUGH TO THE END
IF YOU HAVE GOT THIS FAR THANKS FOR READING BUT I JUST THINK ITS IMPORTANT ON THESE RECORDS TO GIVE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE
