 THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
VERY FIRST UK 1st Yellow / Black - MONO PRESS with small " Gold Label" 33/3

      FORGET The Parlophone MONO GOLD LABEL, this IS the rarest of the rare..

 ONLY A VERY SMALL RUN OF THESE WERE EVER PRESSED, THESE ELUSIVE ALBUMS RARELY SURFACE FOR SALE AND IF YOU SEE ONE, YOU'D BETTER GRAB IT AS THEY DON'T COME AROUND OFTEN. MANY CONSIDER THIS VERSION TO BE RARER THAN THE BLACK AND GOLD MONO, AND MANY DON'T KNOW OF IT'S EXISTENCE!!!

  I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TALKING TO IAN SHIRLEY (THE EDITOR OF THE RARE RECORD PRICE GUIDE) AND HAD TO SEND HIM PHOTO'S OF THESE STEREO AND MONO LABELS TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE IN FACT REAL AS I'M SURE A FEW OF YOU KNOW, THIS PARTICULAR RELEASE HAS NEVER BEEN LISTED OR INCLUDED IN ANY OF THEIR PRICE GUIDES. INCREDIBLE CONSIDERING IT'S ACTUALLY THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE YELLOW / BLACK LABELS WHICH WE ALL KNOW SO WELL. THIS IS HOW RARE THESE ARE. I HAVE NOW CORRECTED HIM AT LENGTH AND THEY WILL NOW BE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT ISSUE.

THE QUESTION HAS TO BE ASKED..: HOW MANY MONO GOLD PARLOPHONES DO YOU SEE ON EBAY? , NOW HOW MANY HAVE YOU SEEN OF THESE?

  PMC  1202

XEX 421/422-1-1

STAMPERS:  2 RR ON SIDE ONE & 1 GT ON SIDE 2

I HAVE HAD  AT LEAST FIVE OF THESE THROUGH THE YEARS AND ACCORDING TO MY NOTES, THIS MATRIX IS VERY EARLY FOR THIS PRESS, ESPECIALLY THE SIDE 2 MATRIX ( 1G ), AS I HAVE HAD MANY MONO GOLDS WITH HIGHER STAMPERS THAN THAT. ACTUALLY -  1 GT , IS VERY EARLY FOR A GOLD!

( MT ) PURCHASE TAX CODE STAMP ON SIDE TWO, WHICH ARE RARE ON THIS PRESS.  IN FACT IT SEEMS ALL THESE FIRST YELLOW / BLACK PARLOPHONE PRESSINGS WITH THE EXTRA GOLD 33 1/3 NEVER CAME WITH A TAX CODE STAMPED ON THE LABEL.

THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS WHICH FEATURE THE SMALL 33/3 ARE IN SUPERB EXCELLENT CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS FEW SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID WITH PERFECT LETTERING. BOTH LABELS ARE CRISP AND EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING ETC .THERE IS A NAME WRITTEN I THINK IN PENCIL NEAR THE TOP OF SIDE 1, ALTHOUGH IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE EVEN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THOUGH HAS TO BE MENTIONED.

THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB... THIS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN PLAYED AS IT HAS A FEW LIGHT MARKS BUT NO MAJOR SCRATCHES AND PLAYS NICELY. IN FACT THERE ARE NO AUDIO IMPERFECTIONS . THE GLOSSY VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING. IT IS NOT MINT, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY EXCELLENT-    

THE CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS IN AN EXCELLENT SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR WORDING".

THE OUTER AND ORIGINAL EARLY E.J DAY SLEEVE IS A VERY RARE FIRST ISSUE YELLOW / BLACK SLEEVE E J DAY SLEEVE WITH THE LARGE MONO UP TOP AND MORE TO THE RIGHT THAN USUAL IF YOU CARE TO NOTICE.. THESE AGAIN ARE NOT VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AS THEY ARE SO RARE, AND IN FACT I'VE ONLY EVER HAD ONE STEREO AND ABOUT 3 MONOS. THEY WERE PRESSED DIRECTLY AFTER THE GOLD SLEEVE PRESSING.

THIS AGAIN IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH JUST A BRUISE OR TWO TO THE CORNERS ETC. VERY CLEAN AND PRESENTABLE. NO WRITING ANYWHERE. WOULD BENEFIT FROM A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN ALONG THE FLIPBACKS. PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

NOT MANY IF ANY BIG COLLECTORS HAVE THESE, AND IS NOT MINT, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF A BARGAIN HERE.

OF COURSE NOT AS VALUABLE AS IT'S BIG STEREO BROTHER (SEE MY OTHER LISTING),  BUT STILL AS RARE.

THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE BEATLES ALBUM OF ALL TIME.

Postage will be more than £4 if insurance needed etc, please ask for quote for overseas..
