My clearout continues!
I'm now clearing our a batch of classic rock, prog and 60's LPs that I bought in a collection a few years back, a pretty complete collection but I don't really need all the titles. Watch this space for more titles.......
you're bidding for:
Beatles - Please Please Me Gold label Mono LP VG/VG Dick James First Press 1N/1N
cat: PMC 1202 matrix: XEX 422-1N XEX 421-1N stampers:
The vinyl still has lquite a lot of original sheen and gloss, but does also have light surface marks and scuffs but nothing really heavy or feelable. When playing the quality of the press on these LPs means they're really resilient, however there is a quick after about 30 seconds of the first track, it skipd ona groove and doesn't skip. There's no obvious mark to cause this but this is also approx 10 seconds of whooshing or heavier crackle, so there must be some damage to cause this. Other than these issues the LP plays through really well, there's only a light crackle which doesn't overpower the music and the quality of the reproduction is fantastic.
Both Black and Gold labels are VG+ with no marks or writing and have the Dick james credits of the first press, there's light wear around the spindle hole (see pics) as I'm sure it's been well played and very much enjoyed.
The sleeve grades as G+ and has several areas of heavy wear, (mainly on the rear) along with a couple of stains and an x or two marked against tracks on the rear. It is the correct first press sleeve where the p of photo is just to the right of the s in songs. The bottom right edge has a seam split of approx 6cm ( see pics) and there's damage to 3 areas of the flipbacks but the sleeve from the front appears reasonably respectable, nice clear spine, front laminated and no writing on the front. The original Emitex lined inner is in great VG+ condition, fully intact with just light creases.
Any questions, please ask.
Smoke free, pet free house. Good luck bidding!
