The BEATLES
PLEASE PLEASE ME
5th PRESS UK LP
EJ DAY COVER
PLUS "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" EMITEX INNER
SMALL MONO
158g!!
**WONDERFUL COPY**

This was the very first official release, being released on the 22nd of March 1963 (MONO version) and later on the 26th of April 1963 (STEREO version). The Lp reached number one in; Disc Weekly, Melody Maker,  New Musical Express and The Record Retailer in the UK. Only to be knocked off by their next album With The Beatles.

 Amazingly the songs, which were taken from their first two singles and included a further ten songs, were all recorded in one marathon session at Abbey Road Studios. John wasn't feeling too well and got throught the 3 sessions in the one day by having milk, tea and Zubes lozenges....

QUALITY 158g...WOW-HEAVY!!!
EX!!
Nice, heavy vinyl, with barely any marks to her and the only ones just about visible are incredibly light and barely register on playback!
*CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR JUMPS*
After giving her a gentle professional vacuum clean, I have just finished listening to all of her (LOUDLY) and found barely any background noise!...Even the run-ins were lovely and quiet.
PURE QUALITY.
*QUIET INBETWEEN TRACKS TOO*
 She has a superb rich deep bass reproduction, with clear and high peaks too!!
FLAT, HEAVY AND ORIGINAL!
SUPERB AUDIO THROUGHOUT

PLAY HER L-O-U-D...I DID, AND WASN'T DISAPPOINTED
Hand-Clapping-fine :)


Labels:
EX!
There's barely ANY central hole wear as you can see in the pictures.
The labels stand out wonderfully clean, with no writing or rips.
 Outer rim text starts with "The Parlophone Co.Ltd" "Recording First Published 1963" stated under the printed matrix number.
NO "Sold In UK..." statement...Showing it is the 5th pressing.
NO WRITING
"KT" tax code proud and raised to side 2.
Gorgeous Canary Yellow 'PARLOPHONE.'

**VERY, VERY DISPLAYABLE**


Inner:
EX!
It is the ORIGINAL "USE EMITEX" inner, with the poly lining.
In SUPERB condition.
It is so early, it has the "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" text to the bottom left corner...WOW.
Only carries light creasing and a small 1cm nick to the opening!
MAGICAL
Certainly done her job in keeping the record in great condition!


Cover:
EX.
RARER 1st PRINTING EJ DAY COVER
( These were produced at roughly a ratio of 1:10, compared to the usual Garrod & Lofthouse covers)
 There is only MINIMAL wear to this cover!!
Only 2 small crescents of spidering near the opening and a gentle line to the top right corner..Nothing at all to worry about.
The corners have some rubbing to them, but again, nothing bad at all.
Lovely white back card, with two small names...Once again: Nothing at all to worry about as this is a TOP collectors piece here and very rarely seen in this magical condition.
Lovely clean EJ Day flipbacks.
STRONG INTACT & LEGIBLE SPINE
RARE and in great, TOP shape!
