The Beatles Please Please Me 5th Press Type 1 Stereo 1G
"5th Press - type 1.
Again, because of the inclusion of the 3rd label, this is / was usually known as the 4th Label. There are in fact 2 types, this was the first, with the appearance of "Recording First Pub.1963", indented to the (YEX.94), though at the same position to the mono counterpart. The general text was also completely changed to what would become the standard Track overlay.
These labels are just as rare as the 4th press, as was almost immediately pressed straight after, starting with the same mother stampers 1GD/1P & 1P/1G. The only other two stamper configurations I've seen with this label are the very early unheard of 1G/1A, and the missing 1O/1G from the 3rd press, both being very rare with only singular copies I have of each seen. One could argue that this could almost be classed as a 3rd press with those Stampers as 1G/1A is straight after the golds!"
This copy is from the 1P/1G run.
Plays fine all the way through with no skips or jumps and is surprisingly lovely and clear to listen to despite it living without it's sleeve for a night as there is a record on record mark on side 2 that thankfully doesn't sound at all but can be seen if put up to the light.
I would think this would pass as a VG-/VG- copy that plays fine with no serious scratches or anything that would harm a needle.
