The Beatles: Please Please Me: 1976 to 1980 Stereo UK Pressing NM/NM
The Copy
I have for sale a very nice stereo copy of The Beatles first album, Please Please Me. The condition really is outstanding. The matrix run outs read:
Side 1: YEX 94-2
Side 2: YEX 95-3
The matrices, cover and labels all indicate that this is a genuine late 1970’s press.
The Vinyl
Both sides retain their original sheen and have little or no surface paper scuffing. There are no scratches, skips, jumps or sticks. The record is completely flat. Play tested on my Sansui XP-99 with a Goldring Elan cartridge the music is crystal clear with little or no surface noise between tracks and on the run ins. It really is a lovely listen. I am loathe to grade anything as near mint normally but in this case I really think I can.
The Labels
The black EMI double box labels are in pristine condition with no apparent spindle wear or discernible marks. They are both clearly legible.
The Outer Sleeve
The outer sleeve is in super crisp with no corner dinks or splits. There is one barely noticeable crease on the top front opening corner. It is clean and bright all over and there is no apparent ring wear. I hope the pictures show the detail well enough but please contact me for more detailed shots if you wish.
The Inner Sleeve
The original paper EMI company inner sleeve is present. It is in “as new” condition.
Pricing
I look at a variety of sources to try to work out what the market value of each record I sell is and set the starting bid accordingly. I use the Goldmine grading system and try to be fair with each grading and description so you get exactly what you see on the tin. I know it’s a subjective business though so tend to grade conservatively so as not to disappoint. You need to remember though that the value of a near mint copy is going to be significantly more than one which, is only VG. I usually offer an auction with a starting price and the opportunity to make an offer. Please be aware that the Starting Price is the minimum I will accept so if you make an offer that’s less it will be rejected.
My Philosophy
I’m a collector too and operate on the principle that I treat others as I would wish to be treated myself; hence the comprehensive description and an offer to provide further photos, videos or answers to any questions you may have. Just drop me a message. Also, please have a look at my recent feedback and you’ll see that I am a genuine safe seller.

Overseas Shipping
Please do not pay until you receive an invoice. The invoice will include the cost of insured shipping via an international courier with full tracking and any extra selling costs incurred by me. The cost of this service will vary depending where in the world you are and the value of the package. All import duties and local taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.
Combined Postage and Shipping Info
I can combine postage on up to three albums but please remember double albums count as two. I say three because that’s all I can safely fit into the mailers I use, including stiffeners. If you want combined postage then please contact me before paying and I will issue you with an invoice.
I will message you a picture of the package when it is ready for dispatch. If the service allows, I will then provide you with the tracking number both via a message and on the listing. Most of my auctions end on a Sunday evening. I aim to ship first thing on a Monday morning. If this timetable slips then I will contact you to advise and offer a refund of the purchase price if you no longer wish to go ahead with the purchase.
Each album will be separated from the outer sleeve and both will be housed in a soft polythene cover. It will be sent in a brand new very high quality Music Max cardboard mailer with stiffeners.
If like me, you are lucky enough to live in Leicester, I will hand deliver for free. Hand delivery in the East Midlands can also be arranged for the cost of fuel. If you wish either of these then please contact me before payment.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding.
