THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME b/w ASK ME WHY" RELEASED 11th JANUARY 1963
THIS IS THE RAREST OF THE TWO RED LABEL RELEASES ( "LOVE ME DO" BEING THE OTHER ) AS IT WAS ONLY REALLY AVAILABLE IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY SO ABOUT THREE WEEKS IN TOTAL BEFORE THE BLACK AND SILVER LABEL WAS INTRODUCED
STAMPERS 1 P 1 O MATRICES -1N -1N TAX CODE IS MPT IN THE RUN OUTS ONLY "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" ON BOTH LABELS
THE VINYL RECORD SURFACES DO STILL HAVE A GLOSSY FINISH TO THEM AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE WEAR TO THE CENTREHOLE, BUT THE RECORD HASN'T BEEN HANDLED WELL IN ITS EARLY DAYS ( BEFORE ANYBODY REALISED THEY WERE RARE) THERE APPEAR TO BE NO FEELABLE MARKS BUT THERE ARE HANDLING AND LIGHT SCUFF MARKS TO BOTH SIDES
A TEST PLAY PRODUCED REALLY GOOD VOCALS AND MUSIC WITH SOME UNDERLYING STATIC AND THE ODD CLICK AND POP BUT PLAYED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY STICKING OR JUMPING
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE AND THE CENTREHOLE SHOWS LITTLE WEAR AS MENTIONED EARLIER AND ANY SPINDLE MARKS ARE CONFINED TO THE PUSH OUT CENTRE MORE TO THE 'B' SIDE THAN THE 'A' SIDE ,SO I THINK SOMEONE BACK IN THE DAY SUDDENLY REALISED THE RARITY AND TRIED TO PRESERVE THE RECORD FROM THAT POINT ON.
RECORD COMES IN ITS STRIPED SLEEVE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME AND IS IN CLEAN CONDITION
RARITY SOMETIMES TRIUMPHS OVER CONDITION
