Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.
The Beatles - Please Please Me - Gold and Black Parlophone labels - Mono - 1st UK Pressing - Very Rare Original
1963
XEX 421-1N 1M
XEX 422-1N 1M
Both sides have lots of very very faint and fine hairline scratches and sleeve removal marks, No feelable marks. Still has a nice shine. I asked a friend to play it for me all the way through, he said it plays without jumps or sticks, it has light background during the quiet parts and the odd click and pop. He said side 1 is vibrant and sounds great, side 2 has a little distortion in the middle three tracks but there is nothing on the vinyl to explain this, it may need a good clean. Sold as visually described so base your bidding only on that not how it may play, on other decks it may play better or worse, it is sold as a used rarity and returns will not be accepted.
Both Labels have some spiders legs under strong light. Very clean labels, only slight wear around spindles.
Original 1st press Mono Sleeve has some wear. Front of sleeve has a number of creases, Wear to corners and edges. Spine is not readable in the middle and has wear, top and bottom of opening edge have small splits, Back is discoloured and flipbacks have wear/damage. Earliest E J Day Sleeve. A Very rare sleeve but with age related damage...see photos
EMITEX Inner is included but is creased and a little worn and split on edges.
Very Rare and Very Collectable and I've seen many many worse!! But it does have the above stated damage/wear.
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this.
NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA
