THE BEATLES - 'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
1969 UK STEREO PRESSING LP
In October 1969 EMI introduced thier new '1-EMI-box' design label to replace the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. These new pressings utilized the same matrices with the original 'tube-cut' mixes as the 1st pressings, and are arguably their equal in sound quality.
This NEAR MINT stereo pressing dates from late 1969 and is on that '1-EMI-box' Parlophone label: PCS 3042
Both labels rim texts begin with: 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' with 'Made In Gt. Britain' around the bottom.
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with a small front stereo indicator.
Complete with its original red & white EMI inner-sleeve depicting Beatles, McCartney & Ringo LPs.
Matrix numbers: YEX 94-1 & YEX 95-1 (the same as the 1963 1st pressing)
Stamper codes: 2/MP & 1/MG
Vinyl weight: 143g
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
No spindle marks to either centre hole and just a hint of wear around 2.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine 'as new' unmarked deep-gloss surfaces which display just a few harmless wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Pressed on thick quality vinyl, both sides of which lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
Spectacular and flawless sound throughout this barely, if ever, played copy which will not disappoint.
Cover
EXCELLENT
Clean & strong with just a touch of light shelfwear to the lower corners but no other significant signs of wear. The rear panel is immaculate with no blemishes of any kind and both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed & unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with slight age-toning & a faint disc impression, but no major faults.
