THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" RELEASED 1963
UK BLACK AND GOLD MONO PRESSING WITH NORTHERN SONGS CREDITS FOR "I SAW HER STANDING THERE", "MISERY" " DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET" AND "THERE'S A PLACE"
E.J.DAY SLEEVE WITH ANGUS McBEAN PHOTO CREDIT APPROX 10mm FROM THE SLEEVE EDGE
THIS IS THE CORRECTED LABEL CREDIT VERSION OF THE TWO BLACK AND GOLD PRESSINGS AND IS ONE OF 12,000 COPIES PRESSED ,WHEREAS THE UNCORRECTED EARLIER PRESSINGS NUMBERED 25,000 THESE ARE APPROXIMATE NUMBERS
STAMPERS 1 T 1 H MATRICES XEX 421-1N XEX 422 -1N MT TAX CODE SIDE 1 CENTRE
E. J. DAY RECORD SLEEVE LAMINATED FRONT IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT CORNER BUMPS AND AN UNCRUSHED SPINE AND SOME LIMITED LIGHT CREASES AROUND THE EDGES
RECORD SLEEVE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN CLEAN CONDITION WITH NO HANDLING WEAR SHOWING
SLEEVE REAR HAS ALL THREE LAMINATED FOLDOVER SEAMS PRESENT AND UNDAMAGED ,WHITE UNLAMINATED INNER PANEL IS AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ,SOME LIGHT FOXING TO THE OPENING EDGE, NONE OF WHICH AFFECTS THE TEXT WHICH IS ALL LEGIBLE. THERE IS A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL MARK ABOVE THE "S" IN PLEASE PLEASE ME BUT AGAIN DOESN'T IMPACT ON THE TEXT
POLY LINED EMITEX INNER ( CORRECT FOR THIS PRESSING ) IS IN UNDAMAGED CONDITION BUT HAS A LITTLE FOXING TO THE WHITE EDGE AREAS
VINYL RECORD SIDE 1 IN NORMAL LIGHT LOOKS SUPERB DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACE WITH A PRISTINE CLEAN BLACK AND GOLD LABEL , UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE LIGHT HANDLING AND NEEDLE MARKS ( SOME LIGHTER THAN OTHERS) BUT IN MY ESTIMATION NONE ARE FEELABLE OR AFFECT THE AUDIO WHICH IS CLEAR AND DISTINCT WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES
VINYL RECORD SIDE 2 AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IS IN SIMILAR CLEAN CONDITION TO SIDE 1 SHOWING JUST LIMITED HANDLING / LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS AGAIN NONE OF WHICH AFFECTS THE AUDIO AND NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE ,RECORD LABEL IS AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH JUST A TINY LITTLE BIT MORE WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE ( SIDE ONE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE PLAYED MORE OFTEN THAN SIDE TWO ) AND HAS THE DISTINCTIVE RIDGE 15mm IN FROM THE LABEL EDGE
WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM WHICH HAS A HEAVIER PICK UP THAN TODAYS MORE MODERN EQUIPMENT SO YOU COULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
WE HAVE LISTENED TO THE RECORD ON A COUPLE OF OCCASSIONS AND THE AUDIO WAS FIRST CLASS WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES
PLEASE REMEMBER THESE RECORDINGS ARE NOW NEARLY FIFTY SEVEN YEARS OLD AND ITS BY THE BEATLES SO IT WILL HAVE BEEN PLAYED
