Description
Beatles: Please Please Me LP
Very rare third UK mono pressing, yellow/black labels with "The Parlophone Co. Ltd" perimeter text (without "Sold in UK" or "Recording first published"), with small 33 1/3 on both labels, in front-laminated Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve, complete with original poly-lined company inner bag
1963 Parlophone PMC 1202 mono
Matrices: Side 1: XEX 421-1N; Side 2: XEX 422-1N
Stamper Nos: Side 1: 2 at left, RP at right; Side 2: 2 at left, RD at right
Sleeve in VG+ condition
Disc in VG to VG+ condition; excellent original vinyl lustre, especially on Side 2 which is actually in near EX condition. Graded thus, however, because there is a mark across Side 1 which is, in fact, only mildly audible (even on the very sensitive equipment upon which I test-played this record) although it is quite obvious visually.
A very acceptable copy of this rare record!
Condition Grading of Vinyl Records
I am somewhat conservative in the condition-grading of records because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning; more valuable items are usually test-played. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.
I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction
Postage and Packing
UK Mainland: £2.95 plus £1.50 for each additional 12" or LP record

I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received, usually on the Friday after auction closure when I have a collection from my premises by Royal Mail. However, and in particular to allow for the vagaries of the various postal services, please allow 10 days (UK) or 14 days (overseas) for delivery. You should, however, receive your purchases much quicker than this!
