Description
First pressing of "Please Please Me" on the black and gold Parlophone label.
The vinyl is conservatively graded 'very good'. The sound quality is still very nice, and the playing surface is quiet. However there are a lot of fine surface marks, especially under strong light. This is a decent playing copy, but not perfect!
This copy has the "Dick James" music credits on the centre labels, instead of "Northern Songs", and has the following tax codes stamped into the dead wax area at 90 degrees to the matrix numbers: "RG" side 1, "GL" side 2.
The sleeve is in "excellent" condition. It is printed by Ernest J. Day and Co. The spine and edges are clean and sharp. Please see pictures for more detail.

Guide to grading:
Mint: as new – might even be unplayed. Without blemish of any kind – no sounding or non-sounding marks, quiet surface, no groove damage, sleeve will be immaculate with sharp edges, and without creasing, writing, or difficult-to-remove stickers. I use this grading only rarely!
Near mint: virtually as new – at worst one or two small, very light non-sounding marks, or a few spindle marks. Definitely no audible marks – aurally, the LP should be superb with no groove damage and a quiet playing surface. It is possible the sleeve may have a few very tiny creases on the spine, or slight ‘browning’ – for details see individual listings.
Excellent: There may be some very light background surface noise, or a few surface marks. Again, there should be no audible marks unless specified in the listing. The sleeve may have very light creasing, or slight discolouration, but still be overall in very nice condition.
Very good: this LP will have audible imperfections such as scattered ticks, or an audible mark or marks. There are also likely to be visual imperfections such as light scuffs, or slight damage to the sleeve – e.g. break-through on the spine, or perhaps damage to the laminated surface of the sleeve. Again, please see individual listings for details.
