THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PCS 3042 RARE 1963 STEREO 4th PRESSING BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS
AS MOST COLECTORS ARE AWARE THE STEREO PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM WASN'T RELEASED TILL APRIL 26th 1963 WHEREAS THE MONO VERSION WAS RELEASED ON MARCH 22nd 1963
RELEASED FIRST WITH THE SUPER RARE BLACK AND GOLD STEREO LABELS (TWO DIFFERENT LABEL TYPES) FOLLOWED BY THE FIRST BLACK AND YELLOW (WITH OR WITHOUT THE SMALL 33 1/3) THEN THIS PRESSING THE FOURTH WITH "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" LABEL TEXT
THIS PARTICULAR COPY ALSO COMES IN AN E.J. DAY SLEEVE WITH THE 'A' IN ANGUS McBEAN UNDER THE 'S' IN SONGS ABOVE IT
STAMPERS P 1 G 1 (EARLY BLACK AND GOLD STEREO PRESSINGS WERE G 1 R 1 OR R 1 G 1 )
MATRICES -1 -1 MT TAX CODE SIDE 2 CENTRE
E.J.DAY RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION GLOSSY CONDITION LAMINATED FRONT AND UNBROKEN FOLDOVER SEAMS WITH A CLEAN LEGIBLE INNER PANEL ,OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND DEFINED AND SEAM IS UNCRUSHED
CORRECT EMITEX TISSUE PAPER CENTRE INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A HINT OF FOXING
VINYL RECORD STILL RETAINS A GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES ,THERE ARE SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS OF DIFFERENT TYPES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FEELABLE OR THAT AFFECTS THE AUDIO ,LABELS ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE AND THE CENTRE UNBELIVIABLY IS UNWORN ,ANY SPINDLE MARKS (AND THEY ARE LIMITED) ARE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES BUT ARE HARD TO SEE IN THE PICTURES
A TEST PLAY OF THE VINYL (THREE TIMES ACTUALLY) PROVIDED QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES ,EXCELLENT AUDIO WITH JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT POP WHICH WAS BURIED IN THE VOCALS
CONSIDERING THIS RECORD IS NOW SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD AND HOPEFULLY BEEN PLAYED ON EARLY SUPERIOR STEREO EQUIPMENT HAS MADE THIS A GREAT SURVIVOUR
WE TEST PLAY ON A LATE SIXTIES / EARLY SEVENTIES HI-FI SYSTEM SO WE CAN ONLY REPORT WHAT WE HEAR PLEASE REMEMBER DIFFERENT OR MORE MODERN SYSTEMS MAY GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE , WE ALL ENJOYED LISTENING TO IT
EVEN AFTER RELEASE PRESSING NUMBERS WERE LOW FOR EVEN BEATLES STEREO RECORDS AS DEMAND WAS MINIMAL BACK IN THE EARLY 1960's SO CONSEQUENTLY THEY ARE HARD TO FIND
