THE BEATLES

LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU

RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL

AMAZING 1 GH AND 1 GT MATRIX STAMPERS

ARDMORE AND BEECHWOOD LTD." ON BOTH LABELS

ON OFFER TODAY IS THE MOST FANTASTIC EARLY EXAMPLE OF THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE RELEASE OF "LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU" ON THE RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL. WITH AMAZING 1 GH AND 1 GT STAMPERS, THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSINGS TO TO BE MADE. THE ORIGINAL 1ST UK PRESSING PRESSING -1N MATRICES WHERE RINGO PLAYS DRUMS TO A SLOWER TEMPO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO" IS ALSO A AUTHENTICATING DETAIL. THE LATER (-2N) MATRIXED VERSION HAD ANDY WHITE PLAYING THE DRUMS AND RINGO PLAYING THE TAMBOURINE.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 45-R 4949 WITH "ARDMORE AND BEECHWOOD LTD." ON BOTH LABELS.

 IN ADDITION, THE LABELS ALSO CARRY "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962" AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN". SIDE 2 HAS "MZT" ACROSS THE SPINDLE HOLE.

BOTH LABELS HAVE PERFECT TEXT. EACH FONT CLEARLY STANDS OUT FOR PERFECT READING CLARITY.

THERE ARE VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE FADING TO THE LABELS, VERY MINIMAL SPIDER TRACES AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEAR TO BOTH SPINDLE HOLE AREAS.

THE MATRIX ON THE RUN OFF GROOVE OF BOTH SIDES STATE:

SIDE 1:

1 GH  MATRIX

GH                                 IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSTION.

7XCE 17144 -1N        IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION

MPZT (1)                     IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION.

SIDE 2:

1 GT MATRIX

GT                                 IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSITION

7XCE 17145 -1N        IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION

MPZT (1)                     IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION

THIS REALLY IS A "FANTASTIC" EXAMPLE.

THE VINYL ON BOTH SIDES SHINE WITHOUT ANY MAJOR SCRATCHES TO THEIR SURFACE. THE PICTURES CLEARLY PRESENT THE VINYL CONDITION AS IT IS. THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOWHERE NEAR ANY MODERATE SURFACE MARKS. THE SHINE OF THE VINYL IS DEEP BLACK AND PRESENTS A "MIRRORED" SHINE.

IN ITS ENTIRETY, THE VINYL IS NOT DULLED OR FADED BY SURFACE GRIME OR EXCESSIVE LIGHT HAIRLINES.

AN EASY REPRESENTATION OF THE VINYL CONDITION IS THE PLAYBACK QUALITY.

WHEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE ON EACH SIDE, THE SOUND REPRODUCED IS FANTASTICALLY NEAR MINT IN CLARITY. THROUGHOUT THE MOODY MONO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO", THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW SURFACE MARKS THAT AUDIBLY REGISTER. IT IS CLARIFIED THAT IF YOU WERE TO CLOSE YOUR EYES WHILST LOUNGING IN A DARKENED ROOM, THE SOUND REPRODUCTION IS AS IF YOU WERE IN THE STUDIO WHILST RECORDING WAS UNDER WAY. THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW LEVELS OF SURFACE NOISE AND THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO MINOR CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS. EVERYTHING IS AMAZINGLY CLEAR TO THE EAR, RATHER THAN DISTORTED LIKE MOST EARLY EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE PRESSING.

THE TRACK "P.S. I LOVE YOU" IS ALSO AMAZING IN CLARITY. WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THE LOW AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE. THE VERY FEW WHISPY HAIRLINES ONLY EQUATE TO THE MOST LOWEST OF AUDIBLY REGISTERED SURFACE SOUNDS. THIS INCLUDES BETWEEN MUSICAL "HALTS" OF WHICH THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW LIGHT LIGHT CRACKLES. CLARITY IS ENSURED AS EXTREMELY MINOR DISTORT THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOTION OF PLAYBACK AND DOESN'T IN ANY MODERATE WAY DECLINE BELOW THIS LEVEL. THE MONO BRILLIANCE IS REPRESENTED FANTASTICALLY.

THE ORIGINAL E.M.I. DIAMOND PARLOPHONE SLEEVE IS CLEAN WITH NO SEAM SPLITS OR EXCESSIVE CREASING. THERE IS SLIGHT WEAR TO THE UPPER CORNERS OF THE FRONT SLEEVE, HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT  UNDERMINE THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS WONDERFUL EARLY REPRESENTATION OF THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE ON THE RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL.

WE WISH YOU LOOK ON THIS GREAT EXAMPLE OF BEATLES HISTORY.
