Description


The Beatles Please Please Me
Stereo Gold On Black Labels
1st Pressing with Dick James Music Co. credits
Parlophone PCS 3042 1963
Matrix: YEX 94-1 / YEX 95-1
Label: 'ZMT' Tax Code on Side 1
Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd Flipback cover
Comes in its original "USE EMITEX"  Inner poly lined sleeve

Ok, sadly this isn't a mint copy, the viny has significant number of hairlines and fine scratches, it has no feelable scratches .
It plays fine all the way through, no skips, no jumps or loud clicks  but does play with  background crackle and tics more or less throughout
The record is absolutely flat with no warping

I do not own a pro record cleaner so this record has only been cleaned with record cleaner fluid and an antistatic cloth
To hear it to know what you may be bidding on I have recorded 4 completely unedited tracks at 320kbs which you can listen to below, the first two soundclips are two tracks taken from Side 1, the third soundclip is the first two tracks from Side 2 recorded continuously so you can listen to the gap between the tracks
Using the Record Collectors Guide , link below,  it grades as G (Good)

http://www.recordcollectorsguild.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=17&page=1

The cover is in poor condition , I've uploaded as many detailed photos as possible for you, it has edge and corner wear , an unreadable spine , split seams of about 7" in length from the opening on the top and 6" on the bottom, it has damage on the rear to the top and bottom flipbacks, with half of the flipback missing on the bottom , writing on the back cover and the paste on rear cover is starting to lift away from the card at the opening edge, it still holds the record ok and fortunately the front retains most of its laminate and still looks pretty ok

If you have any questions or need more info please ask ,
personal collection is welcome or viewing before auction end
