The Beatles Please Please Me 1st Stereo Gold Parlophone PCS 3042 UK
THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
VERY VERY FIRST UK GOLD - STEREO PRESS with " DICK JAMES " Credits
The Parlophone STEREO GOLD label is the First Ever STEREO OF THEM ALL..
WHICH MAKES THIS A DEFINITE MUST HAVE PIECE, WOULD BE A FINE ADDITION TO ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION., AND IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST FABLED AND DESIRED OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL!.
WITH VERY FEW OF THESE RELEASED WITH THIS LABEL, IT IS USUALLY A STARTING POINT FOR ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR.
ORIGINAL EARLY UK GOLD LP'S ARE ALWAYS SOUGHT AFTER (AND THEREFORE QUITE EXPENSIVE) AS SO FEW WERE PRESSED. THIS ONE IS FROM THE VERY VERY FIRST BATCH PRESSED WITH THE FIRST EVER STAMPERS.
PCS 3402
YEX 94/95-1-1
STAMPERS: 1R on side one & 1G on side two
FOR A MORE DETAILED NOTE ON THIS PLEASE SEE http://www.beatlebay.co.uk/stereo.html
THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS QUITE LOVELY THOUGH LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN PLAYED ALOT, AS IT DOES HAVE LIGHT SCRATCHES IT HAS TO BE SAID AND A FEW PAPER MARKS TOO. THERE IS ALSO A NON SOUNDING SCRATCH ON SIDE 2, AND AS CAN BE HEARD, DOESN'T AFFECT THE PLAYBACK TOO MUCH, IF AT ALL.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND NO WRITING ETC.
ON RECORDING THIS, IT SOUNDS GREAT, AS DO THE BEATLES THEMSELVES, AND EVEN THOUGH I DO MAKE A POINT OF LISTENING TO ALL OR MOST THAT I LIST, I PLAY VERY CAREFULLY ON A CORRECTLY SET UP REGA PLANAR 3 (ie,GOOD RECORD PLAYER). THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT MANY CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS AND WOULD CONSIDER AUDIO IS STRONG, CLEAR AND VIBRANT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GRADE AS AN EASY VG++/VG
THE CORRECT E J DAY SLEEVE IS AGAIN IN VG+ CONDITION WITH SOME DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM FOLDOVER WHICH COULD ACTUALLY BE REPAIRED AS THE CARDBOARD IS STILL INTACT. THE EMITEX "MADE IN ENGLAND" INNER IS PRESENT AND IS IN AN EXCELLENT SUPERB
CONDITION WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR WORDING".
WITH ONLY A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF COPIES TO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AT THE VERY BEGINNING, THESE GOLD ALBUMS WERE USUALLY ALWAYS PLAYED TO DEATH BY 1964!.
FINDING ONE IN vg+ CONDITION OR HIGHER IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT AND THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS IN A NICE SHAPE. THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER THOUGH STILL HAVING A FEW MARKS.
THE GOLD LABELS ARE CLEAR AND BRIGHT WITH JUST A FEW AGE SPOTS SHOWING and a slight rub on the side 2 label. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS.
THOUGH NOT MINT,THESE ARE ALWAYS ON THE WISH LIST AND THEREFORE DEMAND FOR ANY COPY IS HIGH.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE BEATLES ALBUM OF ALL TIME.
Usual methods, but will accept time payments for some of the bigger things. Please ask.
Shipping by FedEx Insured, Tracked Intl Priority when available.
I accept returns for all things except where stated clearly. Thank you
I am and have always considered myself a Beatlefreak and collector. I am not a dealer, but have many treasures I've collected over the years that I have now decided to part with.
