THE BEATLES

"PLEASE PLEASE ME"

(1963 PARLOPHONE RECORDS LP – SUPERB UK 5th PRESSING!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE MONO FIFTH PRESSING OF THE 1963 DEBUT LP “PLEASE PLEASE ME” BY THE BEATLES ON THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL. 

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY EARLY FIFTH PRESSING AS THE SLEEVE HAS SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FOURTH OR EVEN EARLIER PRESSINGS. THE “A” OF “ANGUS McBEAN” IS POSITIONED UNDER THE “S” OF “SONGS”!! THIS SLEEVE AND RECORD ARE BOTH IN LOVELY CONDITION AND THE SOUND QUALITY WAS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH AMAZING SIDES..

THIS LEGENDARY ALBUM WAS PURCHASED IN LIVERPOOL BY IT’S PREVIOUS OWNERS AND UNBELIEVABLY IS STILL HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL NEMS POLY BAG THAT IT WAS SOLD IN!! THIS VERY RARE ALBUM WAS PURCHASED IN ONE OF THE TWO NEMS SHOP IN LIVERPOOL - THE HOME OF THE BEATLES - WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IN 1963!! THE NEMS SHOPS WERE OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE FAMILY OF BRIAN EPSTEIN!!

THE BAG

THE AMAZING NEMS POLY BAG IS IN GENUINE VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT SHOWS WEAR AND CREASING AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS. IT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB PROTECTING THE SLEEVE!

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR AND THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION ON THE FRONT. ON THE BACK THERE IS ONLY SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION. THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND CORNER IS VERY SLIGHTLY BRUISED AND THERE IS ONE TINY NICK HALFWAY UP THE OPENING ON THE BACK. THERE IS THE START OF SOME MINOR FEATHERING AT THE OPENING. OTHERWISE ALL OF THE DGES AND CORNERS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH NO WEAR. THE SUPERB SPINE IS 100% LEGIBLE - THIS WILL LOOK FANTASTIC ON YOUR RACK! 

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE POLY-LINED "USE EMITEX" INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR A FEW SLIGHT CREASES AND AND SOME MINOR TANNING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VERY HEAVY, GLOSSY, BLACK VINYL IS IN LOVELY EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER OVER THE LAST FIFTY YEARS. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS & SCUFFS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT+ THROUGHOUT - THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I HAVE RARELY HEARD A BETTER EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY PRESSING -  THE BEATLES IS GLORIOUS MONO!!

THE LABELS

THE ICONIC BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR. BOTH LABELS CARRY THE TEXT “THE PARLOPHONE Co. LTD. ...” & “RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963”.
