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 VERY SHORT LIVED"GOLD PRINT"LABELS MONO EDITION OF THE GROUND BREAKING DEBUT ALBUM:"PLEASE PLEASE ME". HOWEVER UNLIKE MOST OF THE "GOLD" PRINT COPIES THAT TURN UP-THIS ONE HAS THE DICK JAMES CREDITS FOR SIX SONGS UNLIKE THE LATER NORTHERN SONGS MAKING THIS FROM THE VERY FIRST PRINT RUN JUST OVER 50 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!  THE MAJORITY OF COPIES BEING REPRESSED ON THE YELLOW/BLACK LABELS FROM JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE OLDER STYLE LABEL DESIGN WAS BEING PHASED OUT THE SAME MONTH OF THE BEATLES ALBUM'S DEBUT.IT HAD BEEN USED ON ALL PARLOPHONE ALBUMS SINCE 1953.

IT HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES! MOST HAVE FAR LATER ONES! ALSO THE PARLOPHONE CO.LTD.RIM TEXT.THE DISC IS 100% FLAT WITH THICK VINYL.

IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!!

WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!!

PLEASE READ THIS NEXT SECTION VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE DECIDING TO BID AS THERE ARE SOME VITAL FAULTS AND COMMENTS TO BE AWARE OF!

SADLY THIS COPY HAS HAD MANY PLAYS AND HAS NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR WITH MANY PLAYS, ALTHOUGH ON OLD EQUIPMENT IT MAY STILL PLAY THROUGH OK-ON MY SHOP DECK AND MY HOME DECK BOTH WITH 2 GRAMMES TRACKING WEIGHT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF JUMPS/SKIPS ON THE 1ST TRACK AND THROUGHOUT THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRACK "BOYS" THERE ARE SEVERAL JUMPS/SKIPS DUE TO A DEEP MARK.ON SIDE ONE THERE IS SOME NOTICABLE GROOVE "HISS"NO DOUBT DUE TO A HEAVY PICKUP OR WORN STYLI WEAR  AND SOME "POPS" AND "CRACKLE" AS WELL AS QUITE A BIT OF DISTORTION. THERE IS LESS HISS AND NO JUMPS ON SIDE TWO. DESPITE THESE SETBACKS-MOST OF THE TRACKS STILL PRODUCE A REASONABLE SOUND AND ON OLDER EQUIPMENT IT COULD WELL SOUND FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED! THERE IS A LOT OF SPINDLE WEAR BUT THE LABEL PRINT IS STILL SHARP AND EASY TO READ. NO WRITING,STAINING OR STICKERS ON THE LABELS! 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 BUT REMEMBER THIS HAS "JUMPS"/"SKIPS"ON TWO TRACKS AND TO BE CONSIDERED AS A GAP FILLER/SOUVENIR ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DREAMED OF OWNING A COPY OF THIS KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER PIECE OF HISTORY BUT REALISTICALLY EXPECT TO BE OUTBID OR SEE IT SAIL WAY ABOVE YOUR PRICE LIMIT! YES! IT'S NOT GREAT BUT IT COULD BE WORSE AND EVEN IN THIS FAIR+++ CONDITION WILL RISE IN VALUE AS COLLECTORS GET MORE DESPERATE TO OWN ANY COPY NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE "FAKE"REISSUES WHICH ARE OFTEN CLASSED AS RARE AND OF LITTLE INTEREST TO SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS! HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT COVER WHICH HAS SOME FAULTS TO BE AWARE OF-PLEASE READ THIS! THERE IS A RIP ACROSS THE BACK BOTTOM EDGE WITH A PIECE OF THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK MISSING. REMAINS OF SELLOTAPE REPAIR AT THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THE BACK TOP FLIPBACK HAS A STRIP OF SELLOTAPE-FAINT NAME IN PEN AT THE TOP EDGE, SOME EDGE WEAR,EDGE CREASES,A COUPLE OF CORNER CREASES AND A LITTLE OF THE SPINE DETAILS WORN AWAY BUT THE FRONT PHOTO IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR-IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE! YOU MAY WELL BE ABLE TO LOCATE A BETTER COVER BUT THIS IS THE EARLIEST ONE MADE BY ERNEST J.DAY-THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUYING IT ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF ISSUE MAKING IT AS EARLY AS YOU MAY EVER FIND!

IT INCLUDES THE CORRECT AND ORIGINAL "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" POLYLINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN-NO WRITING OR REPAIRS!NATURALLY AT THIS STAGE,I AM NOT EXPECTING A HIGH PRICE FOR THIS LOWER GRADE EXAMPLE AND AS SUCH AM SUGGESTING THE FOLLOWING POSTAGE: UK RECORDED DELIVERY-1ST CLASS £4. EUROPE £6 AND REST OF THE WORLD £9. SHOULD THERE BE A HIGH BID I WILL SEND THE DISC AT NO EXTRA CHARGE SPECIAL DELIVERY AND ALSO ADD THE OPTION OF INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR OUTSIDE THE UK.I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS FROM ANY TIMEWASTERS. I AM IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH OTHER DEALERS REPORTING AND SHARING THE DETAILS OF THE SMALL MINORITY WHO DO NOT COMPLETE PAYMENTS OR ARE ABUSIVE.TO THE MAJORITY OF DECENT,FRIENDLY EBAYERS AROUND THE WORLD-I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK AND THANKYOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS UNMISSABLE ITEM THAT COULD BE THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION EVEN IN THIS LOWER THAN USUAL GAP FILLER STANDARD CONDITION. DESPITE THE CONDITION I CONSIDER £40 IS A REALISTIC STARTING PRICE ESPECIALLY AS BATTERED YELLOW/BLACK VERSIONS ARE OFTEN SOLD ON EBAY AND ELSEWHERE FOR THIS PRICE! AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ALBUMS EVER- IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FRAME UP ON THE WALL OF ANY BEATLES COLLECTOR! 

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
