Description:

Artist: The Beatles

Title: Please Please Me

Label: Parlophone / EMI

Catalog Number: PCS 3042

Country: UK

Issue: 1969 UK "1-Box" pressing

 

Vinyl Grade: Near MINT.  There are NO marks on the vinyl when examined under a bright light.  There are NO spindle marks on either label.  An extraordinary example.  Please see photos, I always show close-ups of the labels at an angle to the light, to reveal any spindle marks (or absence of spindle marks) on the labels.  Vinyl shines like new.  A superb vintage UK example of this great album.

Has the desirable -1 / -1 matrix:

Matrices:

Side One:                YEX 94 - 1             O O (at 3 o’clock)                   2  (at 9 o’clock)     

Side Two:                YEX 95 - 1             O G (at 3 o’clock)                   1  (at 9 o’clock)

Cover Grade:  VG+ due to the lifting of the laminate at the bottom front corner by the opening (see photo).  No seam-splits, only the minor signs of aging common to all laminated UK covers of this era.   The spine's upper and lower corners are properly "pinched", with deep-gloss lamination on the front.  The back is clean and white without discoloration. "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., Patents pending".

Inner Sleeve:  Original UK EMI paper inner sleeve, with "Made and Printed in Great Britain" at the bottom center.  The LP is stored in a modern poly-inner sleeve to protect both the record and the original inner sleeve.  No splits or other issues, only a couple minor discoloration spots shown in the photo

Notes: Nice, thick, heavyweight vinyl (weighs 164g) on this vintage 1969 pressing.  All analogue, from the original -1/-1 stampers.  A beautiful 46-year old example of the Beatles first album, extremely difficult to find in such superb condition.  If you check my other listings, you will see that I am listing all 6 of my Beatles 1969 "1-Box" pressings, they are the best condition examples of each album that I have found.  I have worked on a complete set for years, looking for the best examples.  There cannot be many left "out there" like this one, after all these years.

 

Free eBook:

Packaging (open LPs): The album will be removed from the cover to eliminate the possibility of seam-splits.  The LP and cover are placed in a clear outer protective sleeve, and sealed.  The album is then sandwiched between two large cardboard stiffener pads, carefully centered and taped together.  This keeps the LP stationary and the album cover centered, allowing the oversized cardboard reinforcement pads to protect the edges and corners of the cover from dings. 

The album “sandwich” is then packaged with bubble-wrap and Styrofoam peanuts in an oversize box.  The box is large enough that it should easily withstand even being dropped directly on its corner without damaging the cover inside.  I know very well what it is like to receive poorly packaged records, so I am careful to make sure your album is well packaged and arrives safely.

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.
