RARE The Beatles – Please Please Me

Original UK Mono LP • Parlophone PMC 1202

Matrix: XEX 421-1N / XEX 422-1N

A beautiful early Beatles collector’s piece

This is a rare and very desirable early UK mono copy of The Beatles – Please Please Me, one of the most important debut albums in British music history. Released in 1963, this album captured the raw energy, charm and excitement of the early Beatles era, before the band became a worldwide phenomenon.

Collectors love this title because it represents the very beginning of the Beatles story on LP. Ordinary listeners love it because the music still feels alive, warm and direct. The mono mix gives the album a powerful, focused sound, full of character and period atmosphere.

This particular copy is especially interesting because it carries the early and sought-after matrix numbers XEX 421-1N / XEX 422-1N, together with the classic PMC 1202 catalogue number, “Recording first published 1963” text and Dick James credits. These are exactly the type of details serious Beatles collectors look for.

Vinyl Condition: VG

The vinyl has been used and enjoyed, and shows visible signs of play, including light scratches, hairlines, sleeve marks and general surface wear. This is not a mint archive copy, but an honest early pressing with plenty of life and character.

Playback may have some light background noise and occasional crackle, as expected from an original 1960s record in this visual condition. There are no skips reported, clicks do not dominate, and the music remains clear, warm, full and enjoyable.

A very nice copy for someone who wants an authentic early Beatles mono LP with the correct collector details, without expecting a perfect museum-grade example.

Sleeve Condition: G+

The original sleeve shows clear but honest signs of age and storage. There is rubbing, ageing, staining, creasing, edge wear, corner wear and some small tears or splits along the edges.

The top edge shows wear, but the sleeve still has strong vintage appeal and the front cover presents beautifully for display. There are no large missing areas or critical destructive damage.

Please study all photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description. If you would like more photos, please message me and I will happily provide them.

Why this copy is special

Early UK mono Beatles records are becoming harder to find in honest, complete and attractive condition. This copy has the details collectors want: early mono issue, PMC 1202 catalogue number, Dick James credits, Ernest J. Day sleeve and the desirable 1N / 1N matrix combination.

It is a record with history. It has been played, handled, loved and preserved for decades. That visible age is part of its story, and for many collectors this kind of honest original copy has far more soul than a later reissue.

Carefully prepared for the next owner

We treat every record with care and respect, even when it shows age and use. This album will be supplied with a new clear protective outer sleeve for the cover and a fresh inner sleeve for the vinyl.

Any original sleeves or inserts shown in the photos are kept with the record, so the buyer receives the item as completely and carefully as possible.

Offers Welcome

Sensible offers are welcome, especially from serious buyers and collectors. This is a rare early Beatles mono pressing with the right matrix numbers, described honestly and photographed carefully.

Packing & Shipping

The record will be packed securely and professionally in strong protective packaging. Extra care will be taken to protect both the vinyl and the sleeve during transit.

We aim to dispatch quickly and safely, with the same care we would expect when buying a collectable record ourselves.
