.THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
VERY FIRST UK 1st Yellow / Black - STEREO PRESS
DEFINITELY THE MOST ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO ANY BEATLES COLLECTION., AND IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE AND SOUGHT AFTER OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL.
WITH ONLY AN EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF COPIES REPUTED TO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AND IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING (AND HOARDING) I'VE ONLY COME ACROSS A FEW, THESE ELUSIVE ALBUMS RARELY SURFACE FOR SALE AND THEREFORE DEMAND FOR ANY COPY IS HIGH. MANY CONSIDER THIS VERSION TO BE AS RARE OR EVEN RARER THAN THE BLACK AND GOLD STEREO.
THE QUESTION HAS TO BE ASKED..: HOW MANY GOLD STEREO PARLOPHONES DO YOU SEE ON EBAY? , NOW HOW MANY HAVE YOU SEEN OF THESE?
PCS 3042
YEX 94/95-1-1
STAMPERS: 1 MO ON SIDE ONE & 1 AM ON SIDE 2
THIS MEANS OR HAS BEEN STATED MANY TIMES, THAT IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST 300 PRESSED WHICH IS USUALLY RESERVED FOR GOLD LABEL PRESSINGS?!!?
NO PURCHASE TAX CODE STAMP (SAME AS MY OTHER ONE). IN FACT IT SEEMS ALL THESE FIRST YELLOW / BLACK PARLOPHONE PRESSINGS NEVER CAME WITH A TAX CODE STAMPED ON THE LABEL.
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID WITH PERFECT LETTERING. BOTH LABELS ARE CRISP AND EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING.
THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB... THIS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED, EXCEPT FOR A VERY VERY FEINT PAPER MARK ON SIDE ONE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET A CLOSE PHOTO OF THIS BUT IT JUST ABOUT SHOWS UP ON ONE OF THE PHOTOS! THERE ARE NO AUDIO IMPERFECTIONS WHATSOEVER. THE GLOSSY VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING
AUDIO IS STUNNING.... ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALED A CLEAR AND CRISP PERFORMANCE. AS NEW, THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITH ANY CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS. THE STEREO AUDIO IS STRONG AND VIBRANT AND WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO.
THE CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS IN AN EXCELLENT SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR WORDING".
THE OUTER AND ORIGINAL EARLY E.J DAY SLEEVE IS A VERY RARE FIRST ISSUE YELLOW AND BLACK SLEEVE WITH THE LARGE STEREO TO THE EXTREME RIGHT AND ANGUS MCBEAN CREDIT TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS A VERY RARE COVER AS THE STEREO WORDING IS USUALLY MORE TO THE LEFT. THE POSITION OF THE STEREO AT THE TOP OF THE SLEEVE, DENOTES THE FIRST CHANGE FROM THE FIRST GOLD ERNEST J DAY SLEEVE, BEFORE SETTLING ON THE STANDARD YELLOW /BLACK LARGE STEREO. ONLY IN VG+ CONDITION DUE TO THE SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM ALONG THE BACK. THIS COULD BE GLUED PROFESSIONALLY AND COULD DO WITH A CLEAN ALSO. WITH JUST A BRUISE OR TWO TO THE CORNERS. VERY CLEAN OTHERWISE. PLEASE SEE PICTURES.
A BETTER SLEEVE WOULD BE NICE TO MATCH THE VINYL, BUT I HAVEN'T COME ACROSS MANY OF THESE EITHER!
NOT MANY BIG COLLECTORS HAVE THESE.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE BEATLES ALBUM OF ALL TIME.
