THE BEATLES - 'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
1963 UK 1st PRESSING MONO LP
**'SUPERB 'DICK JAMES..' LABELS**
This superb 1963 mono 1st pressing is on the UK black & gold Parlophone label: PMC 1202
The labels have the incorrect 'Dick James Mus. Co.' publishing credits for songs: 1 & 2 on side 1 and 4 & 6 on side 2.
A faint 'MT' tax/price code is visible on the side 2 label.
Housed in a correct, early front laminated, tri-flipback 'E.J. Day' printed mono cover with the 'Angus McBean' credit in the extreme lower right corner.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: XEX 421-1N & XEX 422-1N
Stamper numbers: 1/P & 1/L
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT MINUS
Both surfaces are extremely clean, bright & glossy and completely un-dulled by groove-whitening or improper long-term storage.
Viewed in strong daylight, side 1 shows just a few light marks with a single scuff in the run-out and an occaisional light stylus hairline.
Side 2 bears just two 1cm scuff marks but no other significant wear. There are no deep or feelable scratches to either side.
Close inspection beneath a halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few wispy paper hairlines but no additional marks or wear.
100% flat on both sides with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT
A very well looked after and infrequently played copy, the sound is clear, clean & warm throughout with virtually no lessening to the sound quality.
Apart from some very minor groovewear to 'Twist & Shout', there is no significant wear to any track or channel.
Both run-ins & all bands play silently without any clicks or pop and there are no jumps, repeats or other major faults anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT MINUS
A pristine, bright & unworn front panel bearing just a few light edge wrinkles but no 'thumbnails', creasing or other wear.
Both upper & lower seams are unworn with no flaking laminate or missing paper.
There is minor shelfwear to the lower corners but no bumps or bruising to any. Both opening edges are clean sharp without any tears or feathering.
The rear bears some faint fingermarks and an inscription written in French 'Souvenir of London 10 April 1963' with a small signature.
There is a small section of missing lower flipback but the others are all clean & intact.
The spine is in perfect condition with all wording intact and clear.
This disc has been carefully audibly graded in its entirety on a Rega P9 deck fitted with a Shelter 901 cartridge.
