'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
1963 UK 3rd *MONO* PRESSING VARIANT LP
Black & yellow Parlophone label - PMC 1202
Both labels omit the 'Recording First Published..' & 'Sold in UK..' texts.
Interestingly, the side 2 label bears the short-lived small '33 1/3' in the 9 o'clock position. It is missing from side 1.
A faint 'MT' tax/price code is visible on the side 1 label.
Housed in the correct early front laminated, tri-flipback 'Ernest J. Day' mono cover with 'Angus McBean' credit in the extreme lower right corner.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix nos: XEX 421-1N & XEX 422-1N
Stampers: 2/RR & 1/RR
CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean, glossy & bright surfaces which bear nothing more than some wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines under halogen light. There are no scratches or any further signs of wear on this well looked-after copy.
Play: EXCELLENT +
A spectacular sounding copy which plays without groovewear distortion or background noise throughout - even on the innermost tracks.
Cover: GOOD
A clean & bright front panel some light creasing and opening edge/corner wear. There are 1cm splits to the upper & lower right corner seams and but no other major faults. The rear panel has some handling wear and a small section of missing paper to the upper right corner area but no writing. There is some wear and repair to the upper & lower flipbacks and wear to the lower seam, but the spine is clean & unsplit.
- Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
