Description
THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PMC 1202 RELEASED MARCH 22nd 1963
DEPENDING ON WHICH BOOK OR WEBSITE YOU CONSULT YOU CAN FIND CONFLICTING ARGUMENTS FOR THESE EARLY PRESSINGS
OUR INTERPRETATION USUALLY GOES WITH BLACK AND GOLD LABELS ARE FIRST PRESSINGS WITH LABEL VARIATIONS
THE SECOND PRESSING IS THE FIRST BLACK AND YELLOW LABEL WHICH HAS THE TINY EXTRA "33 1/3" WITHOUT "SOLD IN THE UK" AND WITHOUT "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED"
THE THIRD PRESSING HAS NO SMALL "33 1/3" NO "SOLD IN THE UK" AND NO "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" WHICH IS THIS PRESSING
ALL THESE FIRST THREE PRESSINGS USUALLY CAME IN E.J.DAY SLEEVES AND POLY LINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVES
STAMPER NUMBERS 2 AO 4 OO MATRICES -1N -1N MT TAX CODE SIDE 1 CENTRE
"PARLOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT NO "S.I.U.K" NO "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED"
LAMINATED FRONT E.J.DAY SLEEVE HAS THE SLIGHTLY DARKER IMAGE TO THE FRONT NOTICABLE ON EARLY PRINTED COPIES AND SLEEVE REAR HAS THE WIDER FOLDOVER SEAMS AND IS A THIN SLEEVE
OVERALL SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH MINOR CORNER BUMPS AND THE ODD HANDLING LIGHT CREASE ,SPINE IS UNCRUSHED AND OPENING EDGE IS CLEANLY DEFINED
EMITEX INNER IS POLY LINED AND IN CLEAN CONDITION
VINYL RECORD STILL RETAINS A GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES WITH SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE AND RECORD LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE
CENTRE HOLE ON SIDE 1 DOES SHOW A LITTLE WEAR WITH SLIGHTLY LESS ON SIDE 2 ,THE LABEL AREA AROUND THE HOLE WASN'T PRESSED AS CLEAN AS LATER COPIES SO DOES HAVE A SLIGHTLY RAISED AREA JUST AROUND THE CENTRE
THERE ARE ONLY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS VISIBLE AND THEY ARE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRE ON BOTH SIDES
WE PLAY TEST FOR REVIEW ON A SIXTIES HI -FI AND AUDIO CAME OVER LOUD AND CLEAR WITH THE ODD LIGHT POP BUT WAS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS PRESSING IS NOW SIXTY YEARS OLD AND YOU CAN GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE ON OTHER SYSTEMS WHEN PLAYED WE CAN ONLY VOUCH FOR WHAT WE HEAR
