Description
THE BEATLES(Black & Gold Parlophone Label ) LP "PLEASE PLEASE ME" , 1963, on PARLOPHONE PMC 1202, THE RAREST MONO VERSION OF THIS VERY FIRST PRESSING RUN. THIS HAS THE CORRECTED 'Northern Songs' CREDITS & IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY RECORD COLLECTOR & BEATLES SPECIALISTS AS HAVING THE LEAST NUMBER IN CIRCULATION(known as the second pressing, it is really the corrected edition of the first pressing, which started out as having Dick James credits on some of the wrong tracks on the labels). I UNDERSTAND THAT BY THE TIME THIS MISTAKE WAS DISCOVERED & CORRECTED IT GAVE VERY LITTLE TIME FOR THIS VERSION TO BE PRODUCED BEFORE BEING CHANGED TO THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL (2nd?)/3rd PRESSING. THIS MONO RECORD IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION & PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED THROUGHOUT. THE HEAVY, THICK VINYL HAS A SUPERB SHINE & THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SPARKLY MARKS & A FEW LIGHT FINGERNAIL GRAZES BUT OVERALL IT IS ABOVE AVERAGE(vg+ at least). IT PLAYS FLAT & TRUE ON MY Thorens TD160 TURNTABLE, WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS BUT NOTHING MUCH OVER THE MUSIC. THE LABELS SHOW VERY LITTLE WEAR & ARE EXCELLENT, SHARP & CLEAN. THE INNER SLEEVE ('USE EMITEX' POLY-LINED ORIGINAL) IS EX+, SHOWING VERY LITTLE WEAR. THE OUTER EJ Day COVER DOES HAVE SOME SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE REAR LOWER & TOP FLIP-BACK FLAP AND ON THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER, WHICH ALSO HAS A LIGHT WATER MARK.. IT HAS THE Angus McBean CREDIT IN THE FAR RIGHT SAME CORNER, AS IS ONLY FOUND ON THESE ISSUES OF THIS BLACK & GOLD LABEL 1ST EDITION. THE SPINE IS EXCELLENT FOR THE MOST PART WITH A SHORT SCUFF AT THE TOP & BOTTOM. THERE IS NO WRITING ANYWHERE ON THE COVER. THE LAMINATE IS INTACT ON THE FRONT & NON-LAMINATED REAR IS QUITE CLEAN. FREE POSTAGE INSIDE UK ONLY....more info available.....
