Description
THE BEATLES PARLOPHONE PCS 3042 "PLEASE PLEASE ME" UK FIRST PRESSING STEREO ON BLACK AND GOLD LABELS
REPUTEDLEY ONE OF ONLY 900 COPIES EVER PRODUCED
STAMPER NUMBERS ARE 1 R 1 G MATRICES YEX 94-1 YEX 95-1
TAX CODE IS MZT ON SIDE 1 CENTRE
LAMINATED FRONT E.J.DAY RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OVERALL, SOME LIGHT CREASING DOWN THE SPINE EDGE AND A SLIGHTLY MORE PRONOUNCED CREASE TO THE BOTTOM NEAR THE OPENING EDGE AND SOME LIGHT CORNER BUMPS
NONE OF THIS AFFECTS THE TEXT OR IMAGES AND THE FAR RIGHT ANGUS McBEAN IMAGE IS ALSO FULLY LEGIBLE
SLEEVE REAR INNER PANEL IS ALSO CLEAN AND FULLY LEGIBLE ,ALL THE FOLDOVER SEAMS ARE PRESENT WITH ONE SLIGHT REPAIR TO THE TOP RIGHT EDGE CORNER ,THE EJ DAY CREDIT IS ALSO DISTINCT AND LEGIBLE TO THE SLEEVE BASE ,THERE IS A SMALL TAPE REPAIR ( ABOUT 15mm )TO THE SLEEVE BASE INTERNALLY TO SUPPORT THE OPENING EDGE BUT HAS BEEN DONE PROPERLY AND IS NOT VISIBLE EXTERNALLY
EMITEX INNER IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION AND FREE FROM ANY DAMAGE
VINYL RECORD HAS A SUPERB DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO BOTH SIDES THERE ARE SOME VERY VERY LIGHT HANDLING / NEEDLE MARKS NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE OR AFFECT THE AUDIO
BOTH LABELS ARE ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION UNWORN AND UNMARKED AND ALL TEXT IS LEGIBLE
THERE ARE VERY VERY LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS AND ARE THEY HARD TO SEE ,I WOULD THINK RECORD HASN'T HAD TOO MANY PLAYS OVER THE YEARS
THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION ON A STEREO SIXTIES HI-FI WAS SUPERB QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES ,BEING ULTRA FUSSY THERE WAS JUST ONE OR TWO LIGHT POPS AT THE BEGINNING OF "LOVE ME DO" BUT THAT'S ALL I COULD HEAR
I THINK WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER BECAME AWARE OF WHAT THESE COPIES WERE ACTUALLY WORTH HE / SHE STOPPED PLAYING IT BUT STILL BROUGHT IT OUT OCCASSIONALY TO SHOW CLOSE FRIENDS THAT HE / SHE DID ACTUALLY OWN ONE .
