The Beatles Please Please Me Set of Original Acetates
The Beatles Please Please Me Original Acetates from early 1963. These are seriously rare and to date, only one other set of monos have ever turned up.
These are the real deal and are featured at the beginning of the "Please Please Me" Mono page on my website (please see my other auctions for the entire run and the PPM Test press).
I have this written about them:
"The first time this album was pressed, it was done so on a handful of two 1-sided Acetates (side 1 & side 2) with the backs being blank with two holes, the extra to hold the speed precisely. Acetate generally had about 25 -50 plays of life before wear starts to occur. It has a musty smell to it and has a tin ring to it when tapped lightly with a finger!
The Track listing was done with using Carbon Paper which allowed 4 or 5 copies to have the same tracking list without rewriting the whole lot again and again."
Apparently these were cut on, or round about the 25th Feb 1963 as the Album was mastered then.
I have had a number of Test presses, demos and Acetates thru the years and have contacted various beatle sites and sent many photo's etc, but never really got any replies apart from "do you want to sell?" lol lol, so for all those people I have emailed thru the years in regards to this and other extreme rarities, yes I do and here is one!
I have had these for a number of years (too many to count but over 20) and have never had them up for sale till now.
Reason for selling is I've had a change of focus and so it is time to sell pretty much my whole collection so please keep looking back and check out my other auctions!

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.
