THE BEATLES
~ LOVE ME DO ~
(1962 RARE 7" RED PARLOPHONE WITH ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE & NEMS BAG!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE AND TOTALLY GENUINE 1962 UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE AMAZING DEBUT SINGLE "LOVE ME DO" BY THE BEATLES ON THE RED PARLOPHONE LABEL.
AMAZINGLY, WHEN I BOUGHT THIS RARE 45, FROM IT’S PREVIOUS OWNER, IT CAME WITH AN ORIGINAL PAPER BAG THAT CAME FROM BRIAN EPSTEIN’S NEMS SHOP IN LIVERPOOL. THIS GREAT LOOKING PAPER BAG IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME CREASING WHERE IT WAS FOLDED AROUND THE SHAPE OF THE RECORD THAT IT HOUSED FOR ALL THESE YEARS!!
THIS RARE 45 IS ALSO COMPLETE WITH IT’S ORIGINAL “TYPE C” PARLOPHONE COMPANY SLEEVE.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 1962 PARLOPHONE 45-R 4949
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: SIDE 1 - 7XCE 17144 – 1N; SIDE 2 - 7XCE 17145 – 1N
THE STAMPER CODES ARE: SIDE 1 - GA / PZT 1; SIDE 2 - T / PZT 1
THE VINYL
THE BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES. THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES. I DETECTED SOME INTERFERENCE ON THE RUN-IN AND A FEW LIGHT POPS NOW AND THEN. I HAVE INCLUDED FULL SOUND CLIPS FOR EACH TRACK SO YOU CAN HEAR AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
THE LABELS
THE RED & SILVER “PARLOPHONE” PAPER LABELS HAVE A FOUR-PRONGED PUSH OUT CENTRE. EACH OF THE TWO LABELS FEATURE BOTH THE “PARLOPHONE CO LTD. …” TEXT (IN UPPER & LOWER CASE) AND THE THE “RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962” TEXT. THERE IS A “PT” TAX CODE EMBOSSED ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL. BOTH OF THESE ICONIC RED & SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.
THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL “TYPE C” PARLOPHONE COMPANY SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH LIGHT TANNING, SOME MINOR WEAR, AN INSCRIPTION ON THE FRONT AND A SMALL TEAR AT THE DIE-CUT CENTRE HOLE.
