THE BEATLES

LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU

RINGO ON DRUMS

RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL

AMAZING 1 GM AND 1 GR MATRIX STAMPERS

"ARDMORE AND BEECHWOOD LTD" ON BOTH LABELS

"PT" TAX CODE EMBOSSED ACROSS THE FOUR PRONG PUSH OUT CENTRE OF SIDE 2

WITH NO "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" TEXT ON EITHER LABEL

ON OFFER TODAY IS THIS VERY NICE AND EARLY EXAMPLE OF THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE RELEASE OF "LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU" ON THE RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST UK PRESSING PRESSING WITH -1N MATRICES WHERE RINGO PLAYS DRUMS TO A SLOWER TEMPO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO". THE LATER VARIANTS HAVE 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" BUT WITH NO "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" TEXT ON EITHER LABEL. SIDE 2 HAS "PT" EMBOSSED ACROSS THE FOUR PRONG PUSH OUT CENTRE.

BOTH LABELS HAVE ALMOST PERFECT TEXT. EACH FONT CLEARLY STANDS OUT FOR PERFECT READING CLARITY. THERE IS MINOR FADING AS INDICATED WITHIN OUR PICTURE SECTION. THIS IS REPRESENTED AT APPROXIMATELY THE 7 O'CLOCK POSITION ON SIDE 1 LABEL. THE UPPER / LOWER CASE TEXT HAS MINOR FADING AT THIS POSTION, BUT ALL OTHER FONTS ARE BOLD AND STRONG.  

THERE ARE VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS 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 GM  MATRIX

GM                                 IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSTION.

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

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

SIDE 2:

1 GR MATRIX

GR                                 IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSITION

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

PZT (1)                          IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION

THIS REALLY IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE.

THE VINYL ON BOTH SIDES IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS WITH PLENTY AMOUNTS OF LIGHT SURFACE WEAR TO THEIR SURFACE. THE PICTURES CLEARLY PRESENT THE VINYL CONDITION AS IT IS. THERE ARE MANY LIGHT HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES BUT WITH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF MODERATE SURFACE MARKS. THE SHINE OF THE VINYL IS DEEP BLACK. IN ITS ENTIRETY, THE VINYL IS NOT DULLED OR FADED BY SURFACE GRIME JUST MANY LIGHT HAIRLINES.

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

WHEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE ON EACH SIDE, THE SOUND REPRODUCED IS EXCELLENT  - IN CLARITY. THROUGHOUT THE MOODY MONO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO", THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS THAT AUDIBLY REGISTER. IT IS CLARIFIED THAT DURING THE INTRODUCTION, THERE IS A SURFACE NOISE PRESENT, THIS DIMINIISHES TO LIGHT SURFACE NOISE THROUGHOUT THE REMEINDER (LOW SURFACE NOISE, BUT DETECTABLE). THERE ARE LEVELS OF SURFACE NOISE BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR JUMPS ON THIS RARE PRESSING.

THE TRACK "P.S. I LOVE YOU" IS AMAZING IN CLARITY. WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THE LOW AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE., 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 EXCELLENTLY.

THE ORIGINAL E.M.I. PARLOPHONE SLEEVE IS 100% CLEAN WITH NO SEAM SPLITS OR EXCESSIVE CREASING. THERE ARE NO RIPS OR FADING PRESENT. THE COLOUR IS REPRESENTED WITH COMPLETE BOLDNESS, AS IF IT WERE PURCHASED YESTERDAY. 

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