Description

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THE LEGENDARY DEBUT LP RELEASE BY THE BEATLES.

'PLEASE PLEASE ME' RELEASED IN 1963, THIS RECORD IS ONE OF THE FEW 'GOLD AND BLACK' PARLOPHONE COPIES RELEASED IN THE FIRST WEEK!

CAT NUMBER - PMC-1202 MONO.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS I WON'T BORE YOU WITH A LARGE WRITE UP YOU HAVE PROBABLY READ MANY TIMES BEFORE, I WILL JUST LET YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE VINYL, INNER SLEEVE AND PICTURE SLEEVE. PLEASE NOTE I STRICTLY USE THE UK RECORD COLLECTOR GUIDELINES FOR GRADING RECORDS. I ALWAYS UNDERGRADE RATHER THAN OVERGRADE AND DISSAPOINT SOMEONE.

THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN A VERY NICE VG+ CONDITION, THE SPINE IS INTACT AND ALL WORDS ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE, THE FRONT IS IN A LOVELY CONDITION WITH JUST A COUPLE OF MINOR CORNER SCUFFS, NO RIPS OR TEARS TO THE PICTURE. THE REAR IS ALSO IN A LOVELY CONDITION WITH VERY SLIGHT CORNER SCUFFS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE LAMINATE ON THE FOLD BACK SLEEVE IS STARTING TO COME AWAY AND THE WHITE HAS ALSO COLOURED SLIGHTLY, AS EXPECTED, WITH AGE. THIS PICTURE SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL ERNEST J DAY SLEEVE WITH THE CAT NUMBERS IN THE CORNER IN FINE PRINT.

THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL POLYTHENE LINED 'USE EMITEX' SLEEVE - NO RIPS OR TEARS, JUST SLIGHT COLOURING FROM AGE.

THE VINYL IS A GENUINE FIRST PRESS WITH CREDITS TO DICK JAMES FOR THE TITLES, PLEASE PLEASE ME, I SAW HER STANDING THERE, MISERY, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET AND THERE'S A PLACE. MATRIX NUMBERS ARE XEX-421-1N AND XEX-422-1N INDICATING AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS!!!

THIS RECORD IS TOTALLY FLAT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARPING ETC. BOTH LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (SEE PICTURES) NO WRITING, RIPS, TEARS ETC JUST LOVELY CLEAN UNMARKED CENTRES. THE VINYL I WOULD STRICTLY GRADE AS VG+. IT STILL RETAINS A LOVELY SHINE AND PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY, WHAT STOPS ME FROM GRADING THIS 'EXCELLENT' UPWARDS IS IT DOES HAVE SOME MARKS AND SCUFFS ON BOTH SIDES THAT ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT. THESE MARKS IN NO WAY AFFECT THE PLAY.

ALL IN ALL IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS 43 YEAR OLD LP. THIS RECORD IS VALUED AT Â£750 IN MINT CONDITION BUT NOW SELLS FOR MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THIS RECORD ONLY EVER GOES UP IN VALUE - BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK!

THE RECORD WILL BE SENT QUICKLY VIA SPECIAL DELIVERY ONCE PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME, PLEASE ALSO SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS, I WILL BE SELLING SOME HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND RARE 60'S LPS FOR THIS WEEK ONLY.

HAPPY EBAYING.
