Description
THE BEATLES LP(BLACK & GOLD LABEL) 1ST PRESSING "PLEASE PLEASE ME" UK ORIGINAL FROM 1963. MONO, UK PARLOPHONE PMC 1202, IN VG(probably +) AURAL CONDITION, GOOD VISUAL(lots of light, sparkly surface marks and few fine scratches & fine scuffs BUT nothing at all serious, and still retains a nice shine). IT'S BEEN WELL USED, BUT I JUST PLAYED IT THROUGH ON MY THORENS TD160 TURNTABLE, AND IT PLAYED CLEARLY, WITH THE USUAL SMALL AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, OTHERWISE RUNS FLAT AND PLAYS STRAIGHT & TRUE THROUGHOUT, with NO HOPS OR STICKING AT ALL. THE ‘Northern Songs’ LABEL ON SIDE 1 IS EXCELLENT, ‘Dick James’ SIDE 2 LABEL HAS SOMEWHAT FADED MYSTERIOUSLY ON LOWER PART(MAY HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURING FAULT, IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY) BUT STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. IN ORIGINAL CORRECT EARLY COVER & EXCELLENT "EMITEX" INNER SLEEVE. THE MATRIX Nrs. END: - I N & - 1 N. THIS IS AN EARLY COPY AS STAMPERS ARE ‘1’ ON SIDE 1 AND ‘1’ WITH a ‘2’ UNDER IT ON SIDE 2, WITH 'GP' & 'GN' ON OPPOSITE SIDE TO '1'. THE ORIGINAL 'EJ Day' OUTER COVER IS GOOD/FAIR, IT HAS HEAVY SCUFFING TO CORNERS BUT FRONT PANEL IS REASONABLE & REAR AGE DARKENED WITH ALL FLIP BACK FLAPS IN PLACE BUT THERE IS OLD TAPE ON BOTTOM EDGE & A SPLIT ALONG THE TOP FLIP BACK EDGE. ALL-IN ALL, A GOOD COPY(better, if you consider sound quality) OF THIS RARE EARLY ISSUE OF THIS FAMOUS 1st BEATLES LP.COLLECTORS, PLEASE NOTE!! THIS IS THE ‘CROSSOVER LABELS’ VERSION! IT HAS THE CORRECTED 'Northern Songs' credits-ISSUE LABEL ON SIDE 1, BUT THE FIRST-ISSUE VERSION ‘Dick James’ credits LABEL ON Side 2.,(SEE PHOTOS-MORE AVAILABLE), WHICH YOU WILL PROBABLY KNOW WAS MADE FOR ONLY A VERY SHORT TIME, MAKING THIS PROBABLY THE MOST RARE & HARD-TO-FIND LABEL VERSION.
Please Note!!: THIS LP MUST BE MAILED BY SECURE SIGNED-FOR POST, THEREFORE HIGHER THAN NORMAL COST QUOTED. POSTAGE TO OUTSIDE OF EUROPE WILL BE £17(SECURE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED-FOR AIR MAIL). INSIDE EU = £12 (SIGNED-FOR SECURE AIR MAIL)
