THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME"
PARLOPHONE PMC 1202
ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING WITH DICK JAMES TITLE TRACK CREDITS
ONE OF ONLY 25,000 COPIES PRESSED ON THE ICONIC BLACK AND GOLD LABELS
RELEASED MARCH 22nd 1963 INITIALLY ONLY IN MONO
STAMPERS 1 T 1 GR MATRICES -1N -1N MZT TAX CODE SIDE 2 CENTRE
EJ DAY RECORD SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS PRESSING WITH THE ANGUS McBEAN PHOTO CREDIT TO THE FAR RIGHT AT THE BASE OF THE SLEEVE FRONT , THIS SLEEVE ALSO HAS THE SLEEVE FRONT PHOTO PRINT FOLDED OVER TO THE REAR AT THE BASE WHICH WAS ON VERY EARLY COPIES OF THE SLEEVE A PRODUCTION PROBLEM QUICKLY CORRECTED
WHEN THESE RECORDS WERE BOUGHT NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE BUYING A RARE COLLECTABLE ITEM SO CONSEQUENTLY MOST WERE PLAYED CONSISTENTLY ON THE FAMILYS DANSETTE RECORD PLAYER OR SIMILAR THIS COPY PROBABLY FOLLOWED THAT FORMAT
RECORD SLEEVE FRONT ALTHOUGH COMPLETE DOES HAVE EDGE CREASE'S AND SIMILAR WEAR TO THE EDGES WITH WORN CORNER BUMPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS IN DECENT CONDITION AND NOT HEAVILY WORN
ALL THE IMAGES AND TEXT ON THE FRONT ARE LEGIBLE
SLEEVE REAR AGAIN SHOWS A LITTLE SEAM EDGE LOSS IN THE CORNERS WITH SOME CREASING BUT SEAMS ARE OTHERWISE COMPLETE ,REAR INNER PANEL HAS SOME AGE FADING BUT AGAIN ALL THE TEXT IS LEGIBLE
VINYL RECORD IN THE PHOTO'S DOES HAVE A GLOSS FINISH TO IT BUT THERE ARE HANDLING MARKS AND NEEDLE MARKS WHICH ARE VISIBLE IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT ,SOME ARE LIGHTLY FEELABLE WITH ONE MORE PROMINENT ON TRACK 2 SIDE 1 LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE SOME LIGHT PAPER LOSS AROUND THE CENTREHOLE WITH THE ODD LIGHT NEEDLE MARK
I HAVE PLAY TESTED THE RECORD A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR REVIEW AND THERE ARE POPS AND CRACKLES ON MOST TRACKS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A WELL PLAYED SIXTY YEAR OLD RECORD ( IT WAS THE BEATLES FIRST ALBUM AND MOST WERE PLAYED A LOT WHEN PURCHASED) , BEING HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL MOST SUPRISINGLY SURVIVED WELL ,THIS IS NO EXCEPTION AND PLAYED AT VOLUME IT STILL SOUNDS GOOD TO LISTEN TO
RECORD COMES IN ITS CORRECT EMITEX POLY LINED INNER
MOST OF THESE BLACK AND GOLD LABEL PRESSINGS ARE NOW PART OF THE COLLECTORS / INVESTMENT MARKET RATHER THAN FOR PLAYING AND BEING JUST 1 OF 25,000 COPIES PRESSED SURVIVORS ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND THESE DAYS
