THE BEATLES
'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
ULTRA-RARE GERMAN 1963 *EXPORT* PRESSING LP
On the red, white & gold Odeon label: ZTOX 5550
Housed in a thick card, pasted panel cover.
Complete with its orignal Odeon advertising inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: SHZE-117A-1 & SHZE-117B-1
Condition
Labels: 1. EXCELLENT 2. EXCELLENT +
Both are clean and bright with just a small name to the side 1 label.
Visual: EXCELLENT
This beautiful copy has barely been out of its cover and both surfaces are at first glance immaculate. Strong daylight reveals just a 2.5cm stylus hairline on side 1 but no other visible wear to either side. Examination directly beneath halogen light reveals just a few insignificant paper hairlines but no other marks or scratches.
Play: EXCELLENT +
Clearly, this copy has been played just a few times and on excellent quality equipment. The sound throughout is perfectly clean & clear with no traces of any groovewear distortion or background noise on any track. Apart from a hint or normal background in the bands which I think is due to the quality of the vinyl, there is little to fault anywhere on this extremely well-looked after copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A superb example of this rare cover which retains a perfect, unscratched, high-gloss front panel with no creasing or other major signs of wear. There is a minor bruise to the upper right corner but all others are clean and square. Both opening edges are pleasingly clean, sharp and undamaged. The rear panel is clean and white with its only blemish being a name written discreeetly in the upper left corner. Both seams and the fully worded spine are in perfect, undamaged condition.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean, crisp & white with just the group and a previous owners name written along the top edge, but no splits or tears.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
