THE BEATLES
LOVE ME DO
b/w
P.S. I LOVE YOU
Original 7 inch vinyl single.
Year of Release - 1962
Parlophone 45-R 4949
1st issue, red Parlophone labels with "Made in Great Britain" text
Matrix codes:
Side 1 - 7XCE 17144-1N (also in run off grooves are the letters ZT and G)
Side 2 - 7XCE 17145-1N (stamped in the run off groove are the letters ZT1)
This is The Beatles' debut single, Love me Do; the matrix code tells us it was Ringo Starr playing drums on this version. The single comes in the original candy-striped Parlopone company sleeve.
Condition:
Vinyl/Labels - VG-
There are quite a few surface marks, but they do not overtly affect play. The record plays through well, with no jumps or sticks. There are a few moments of distortion in parts of side one, but overall a very respectable sounding single, which can be very much enjoyed. There is spindle trail on both sides of the labels, but no graffiti. All graphics are perfectly clear and and the labels are perfectly clean. A very respectable copy of The Beatles' original first pressing of their first ever single!
Original Company Sleeve - Ex
Minimal storage wear. The shop mark of six shillings is written discreetly in top corner - I have not removed this as I believe it adds to the authenticity of the item.
Important Information :
Payment Policies
Prompt payment is very much appreciated.
Payment must be made within 3 working days of auction end. Failure to pay within this time will result in ebay issuing a non paying bidder warning.
I welcome new ebay members and understand everyone has to start somewhere but there have been too many non paying bidders with low feedback ratings recently: bidders with feedback less than 10 positives please get in touch prior to bidding.
Postage & Packaging
Records are packaged safely using strong stiff cardboard and extra bubble wrap to ensure they arrive in the same condition as in my description. I also remove record from outer sleeve and original inner sleeves, placing them inside polythene protective cover to prevent seam splits.
I am a record collector myself and understand the importance of safe packaging to ensure safe delivery.
Good luck and happy bidding!
