ATTENTION SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS! SELECTED FROM MY OWN COLLECTION TO BE APPRECIATED AS A HIGHLIGHT IN ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION OF RARE BEATLES RECORDS.

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1963 YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS MONO EDITION OF THE FAMOUS GROUND BREAKING DEBUT ALBUM:"PLEASE PLEASE ME" RECORDED 50 YEARS AGO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO-THIS COPY BEING ONE OF THE THOSE REPRESSED ON THE YELLOW/BLACK LABELS FROM AFTER THE INITIAL EARLIEST OLDER STYLE,VERY SHORT LIVED"GOLD PRINT"LABEL DESIGN THAT WAS BEING PHASED OUT THE SAME MONTH OF THE BEATLES ALBUM'S DEBUT.IT HAD BEEN USED ON ALL PARLOPHONE ALBUMS SINCE 1953. JUST TO CLARIFY-SOME YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS HAD THE"SOLD IN THE UK"TEXT-THIS ONE DOESEN'T. UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP,THESE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR NO WRITING,NO FADING,NO STAINING,NO MARKINGS etc. SEE MY PHOTOS TO SEE THE VIBRANT PRINT. THEY HAVE A LOVELY SHEEN TO THEM AND NO NASTY CIGARETTE SMELL EITHER! THE PARLOPHONE RIM TEXT. 

IT HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES! MOST HAVE FAR LATER ONES! IN ADDITION TO THAT THE FOLLOWING MATRIX CODINGS:

SIDE ONE:

R M T at 3"0"CLOCK.1+BELOW 12 at 9"0"CLOCK.  SIDE TWO:

R O H at 3"0"CLOCK. 0+BELOW 15 at 9"0"CLOCK.

THE DISC IS 100% FLAT WITH THICK VINYL WHICH TRULY GLEAMS WITH THAT"JUST PRESSED" LOOK-THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER.FANTASTIC TO LOOK AT AND OF UPGRADER STANDARD. THE DISC HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THERE ARE NO CLICKS, STICKS OR JUMPS! NO MAJOR DISTORTION-THERE IS A LITTLE AT A FEW OF THE SOUND PEAKS AS WITH MOST COPIES BUT THIS IS LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO HEAR IT AT IT'S WORSE POSSIBLE. STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION BUT PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE ON THIS ITEM.            

HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT COVER WITH SOME MINOR CREASES AND A LITTLE MILD STAINING AT THE BACK EDGES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY.EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS-MOST ARE WORN AWAY-NOT THIS ONE! THE ANGUS McBEAN PHOTO CREDIT IS AT THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER.

IT INCLUDES THE CORRECT AND ORIGINAL TRACING PAPER INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS OR SPLITS TO THE LINING.

THE ADDITIONAL EMI RECORDS INSERT ADVERTISING THE "RECORD MAIL" IS INCLUDED AND RARELY SEEN.THIS WAS INCLUDED INSIDE RANDOM EMI PRESSED LPs RATHER THAN AS A STANDARD INSERT BUT IT WAS INSIDE IT WHEN I BOUGHT THIS LP MANY YEARS AGO FROM A FORMER 1960s RECORD SHOP OWNER WHO KEPT BACK SELECTIVE LPs THAT HE RARELY PLAYED.  THERE IS A REQUEST FORM ON THE BACK OF THE INSERT FOR A FREE SAMPLE INCLUDING A PRE-PAID FOLD OVER SECTION-SO GIVEN THIS WAS A FREEBIE THE MAJORITY WOULD HAVE FILLED IT IN AND SENT IT OFF OR MERELY THROUGH IT AWAY! NOT A VITAL PART OF A PLEASE PLEASE ME PACKAGE BUT STILL A VERY NICE LINKED PIECE OF EMI ADVERTISING FROM THE SAME TIME THAT YOU MAY NEVER SEE AGAIN!

THERE ARE 9 DIFFERENT PHOTOS TO STUDY!

A REALISTIC £75 STARTING PRICE-NO RESERVE BUT EXPECT KEEN INTEREST IN THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION TO ANY BEATLES COLLECTION WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED OWNING FOR OVER 20 YEARS!

JUST TWO OWNERS IN 50 YEARS.

YOU COULD HAVE THIS READY TO PLAY ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RECORDS ACTUAL RELEASE AT THE END OF MARCH!

MOST COPIES SOLD 50 YEARS AGO IN 1963 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS,THE SPINE AND INNER,INSERT+TWO OF THE COVER CORNERS.

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF MONO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING AN EXCEPTION-SO DON'T MISS OUT!

GREAT INVESTMENT!!!

REMEMBER IN 1963 BY THE TIME THE MAJORITY OF BEATLES FANS HAD SAVED UP TO BUY WHAT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PURCHASE(IT WAS IN MANY CASES THE AVERAGE TEENAGERS FIRST LP),THE GOLD PRINT AND EARLIEST RARE YELLOW/BLACK VARIATIONS HAD BEEN REPLACED BY THIS ONE. THEREFORE I CONSIDER THIS PRESSING ON OFFER FOR BIDS TO BE REALISTICALLY THE EARLIEST MONO PRESSING THAT MOST FANS OF THE SPRING AND SUMMER OF 1963 WOULD HAVE BOUGHT. THE BIG DIFFERENCE BEING THIS ONE HAS BEEN PRESERVED WITH THE SAME CARE AND ATTENTION NORMALLY ONLY FOUND WITH BUYERS OF CLASSICAL AND JAZZ MUSIC SO DON'T MISS OUT!.

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
