Description
ATTENTION THE BEATLES AND UK 1960s TOP 20 HITS COLLECTORS!
HERE IS A VERY RARE 1963 BLACK LABEL REPRESSING OF THE BEATLES FIRST UK HIT SINGLE:"LOVE ME DO" WITH THE EARLIEST VERSION FEATURING RINGO ON DRUMS UNLIKE THE LATER REISSUES!
THE LABEL HAS 3 VARIOUS POINTS OF INTEREST TO SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS.
1:THERE IS NO "SOLD IN THE UK" PUSH OUT CENTRE TEXT AS ON LATER REPRESSES-1964 ONWARDS.
2:THERE IS THE PARLOPHONE CO. RIM TEXT.
3:THERE IS NO "45" IN FRONT OF THE "R" PREFIX AS ON RED PARLOPHONE LABELS. R 4949.
THE DISC ITSELF HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AND M P ZT 1 STAMPERS IN THE DEAD WAX OF EACH LABEL.
THIS IS A VERY NICE COPY WITH SOME TINY AND FAINT WISPY SURFACE MARKS ON THE "A" SIDE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT AND SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON THE "B" SIDE.THERE IS A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.PLAY GREAT AND HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED AS MUCH AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! CLEAN LABELS! HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! NO WRITING,FADING,STICKERS OR DAMAGE! ALL FOUR STRUTS INTACT!
VERY STRICTLY GRADED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITIONS AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH 1960s HIT RECORDS.
THERE WAS LESS DEMAND FOR THE BLACK LABEL REPRESSING AS BY THE SUMMER OF 1963 WHEN THIS RECORD WAS MADE,IT WAS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE BEATLES FIRST LP AND ON AN EP,SO FAR FEWER COPIES WERE MADE AND SOLD.SOME SHOPS STILL HAD STOCKS OF THE RED LABEL COPIES OR WOULD ONLY OBTAIN THE BLACK LABEL REPRESS TO SPECIAL ORDER!
NOWADAYS MOST OF THESE 1963 REPRESSES ARE IN THE PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OF BEATLES FANATICS WHO WON'T SELL! IT'S THE FIRST NICE EXAMPLE I HAVE FOUND IN SEVERAL YEARS!
BEARING THIS IN MIND AND HOW MOST COPIES IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS SELL FOR AROUND £100+,I AM STARTING THIS AUCTION OFF AT £50.THE RECORD WILL BE ONLY SENT SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR OR COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH.
PLEASE NOTE THE AUCTION ENDS VERY CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A BEATLES RARITY!
