THE BEATLES - 'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
UK 1963 1st PRESSING *BLACK & GOLD* LABEL MONO LP
**INVESTMENT GRADE COPY**
This oustanding 1963 mono 1st pressing is on the UK black & gold Parlophone label: PMC 1202
Both labels bear the incorrect 'Dick James Mus.' publishing credits for songs 1 & 2 on side 1 and 4 & 6 on side 2.
A 'MZT' tax/price code is visible on the side 2 label.
Matrix numbers: XEX 421-1N & XEX 422-1N
Stamper numbers: 1/R & 1/R
Housed in a correct, early front laminated, tri-flipback 'E.J. Day' printed mono cover
The 'Angus McBean' credit is positioned in the extreme lower right corner.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve
Also present is the original plastic cover from Brian Epsteins 'NEMS' record store in Liverpool.
(this has a small section of missing to the lower edge but is otherwise in Excellent condition.)
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
A superb set with no spindle marks, touch-up, writing or missing paper.
The tiny mark on the side 2 label beneath the 'N' of 'Long Playing' is a flaw in the paper and not damage or wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
This extremely well-looked after & barely played copy retains all its deep gloss shine on both surfaces without any groove-whitening from overplay.
The only significant marks on the entire disc are two light, non-feelable 2cm fingernail marks on side 2. Otherwise, both surfaces appear 'as new'.
Close inspection directly beneath a halogen desk lamp reveals a 'just pressed' rainbow shine and literally just one or two wispy paper hairlines.
There are absolutely no scratches anywhere on this outstanding copy.
Pressed on very thick vinyl which lies 100% flat on both sides with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS
This disc has received just a few careful plays on good quality equipment and all tracks play without groovewear distortion or intereference.
Even the easily and frequently damaged inner tracks on each side play without the usual break-up or wear.
Both run-ins and all bands play extremely quietly with just an occaisional soft tick at volume but no jumps, repeats or other major faults anywhere.
An investment grade copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT
An very respectable, early example with a clean, unscratched, glossy front panel which bears no 'thumbnails' or any other creasing or wear.
There is some light shelf/storagewear rubbing to the corners but otherwise all are in excellent, un-bumped shape.
Both opening edges have hardly been touched and show no tears or 'feathering' to either side.
The rear is clean & white with just a few faint handling marks but no discolouration, writing or missing paper.
Apart from a small missing section of flipback to the lower right corner, all others are clean & intact.
Both seams are clean & unworn with no splits or stresses and the spine is perfect condition.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Crisp, clean & undamaged.
