THE BEATLESPLEASE PLEASE ME **NORTHERN SONGS BLACK & GOLD LABELS**
**UK 1963 ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE MONO UK LP (PMC 1202) **
A far rarer pure Northern Songs pressing, this is far more common with Dick James labels for both sides or a pressing with a mixture of Northern Songs & Dick James labels, a pure Northern Songs pressing is far harder to locate. This is not a mint example but the labels are in great shape for a black & gold mono, this is not trashed and I have seen many worse than this in my time selling records and comes complete with original 1st issue gold cover with Angus McBean credit to the far right of the cover with original Polylined Emitex inner cover.

MAKE OF COVER / E J DAY
The Cover
The back of the cover is a clean but graded as GOOD+ (G+) there is damage to the lower flipback that is mainly 3" in the middle that is torn and also a bit at the end. There is a couple of scuffs and storage wear, but once again I have seen many of these black & gold early covers look far worse than this. There are NO seam splits and the spines tittles are great and the cover is very flat!
I will grade as a strict GOOD+ (G+) condition by my standards, the LP still has it's original gloss but does have a lot of light surface wear and light marks, there are no very deep marks and the LP still plays ok with no jumps or repeats, there is some surface crackle mainly on the quieter moments with some little clicks here and there but still nice to play. This is not for you if you want a EX - Mint example but that would cost a massive price, as stated this LP can be often seen well trashed, this one is not and has real nice labels. . The Labels
The labels are in Excellent- condition as you will see below, both are real nice and very very clean and rare like this, there is NO tears writing or touch up's, a fine set of labels that look so great.
The Inner CoverThe original Emitex inner cover is in Excellent- great condition.
We use the UK grading system E.G. >>> G / VG / EX / MINT. We also use + and - if there are slight differences between the grades.
Postage For This LP Very Well Packed Sent Over Sea's Via Registered Post / UK £4.00 Registered / Europe £11.00 Registered Post / Rest Of The World £15.00 Registered Post
I will combine postage if you win more than 1 item.Below is an example of a record that has been packed up and ready to send, I have placed one LP next to the parcel so you can clearly see that it is very thick and oversized so corners and bends are avoided. I use this practice on all records regardless of price, if you spend £10 or £500 your record will be safe. I never use them stupid envelope mailers as any serious buyer will know they are not good enough. I really hate it when you spend a large (or any) sum on a record and the lame seller has used only 1 of them thin stiffeners and a weak mailer and then left the record inside the cover. The worst experience I ever had was a German E Bayer who sent me a LP I spent near £150.00 on in a jiffy bag with no protection! the cover was ruined but he did not care and did not refund. As you will see below much effort is taken with my packaging and thick strong card is sourced to do this.
**All Records are sent out in plastic covers with the record placed out of the front cover to prevent the cover from getting knifed. All records are sent out in very strong packaging as seen above to make sure that they reach you in the condition that they leave here in.**
**For each record or item sent out I will fill out a separate Proof of Postage slip that is date stamped with the address of the destination of the parcel. Insurance will cost extra and is highly recommended**
**Please note if you cannot make payment within 10 days of auction ending please do not bid as the number of non paying bidders seems to be on the increase. If there are any problems with sending payment i.e- you on holiday please let me know. I will provide my best service at all times. If payment has not reached me within the 10 days of the auction ending the item will be relisted or sold elsewhere. Please Check out my feedback**
** Please read this- If you have been buying from some dealers on ebay who continue to sell records that have been altered or have stickers placed over writing or to hide damage or in a much lesser condition than stated. I would rather sell the record in it's original state rather than cut out pieces of paper to hide the truth. I am also against skimming, steaming and other dirty tricks. I will playgrade all records and do all grading under a 100 watt light bulb which shows the truth. I will be continuously be placing quality items on ebay from now on as I want to build up my customer base. The only things that I want to come back are customers not records. Thank You.**
All records are visually and playgraded on sound equipment.
