BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME 1ST PRESS WITH BLACK AND GOLD LABELS.
AMAZINGLY EARLY MOTHERS & STAMPERS
BEAUTIFUL GOLD & BLACK LABELS
LOVELY SHINY THICK BLACK VINYL
INNER SLEEVE EXCELLENT
COVER IN VERY GOOD CONDITION
LABELS
DICK JAMES CREDITS FOR "ASK ME WHY", "PLEASE PLEASE ME", "I SAW HER STANDING THERE", "MISERY", "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET" & "THERES A PLACE". THIS CONFIRMS FIRST PRESSING - LATER (2ND PRESS) BLACK & GOLDS WERE CHANGED TO HAVE 'NORTHERN SONGS' CREDITS.
THESE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION: NO WRITING, MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR. EMBOSSED TAX CODE 'ZMT' STILL CLEARLY VISIBLE ON SIDE 1. THE GOLD ON BLACK LOOKS SUPERB. BEST CONDITION LABELS I'VE SEEN ON ONE OF THESE GOLD & BLACKS.
VINYL
EXCELLENT CONDITION, LOOKS GREAT. LOVELY, SHINY BLACK VINYL. IF YOU HOLD THE RECORD UP TO A STRONG LIGHT YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF HAIRLINE SCRATCHES ON BOTH SIDES. SOME ARE QUITE LONG BUT NONE OF THESE ARE DEEP SCRATCHES.
MATRIX NUMBERS XEX 421-1N, XEX 422-1N. AMAZINGLY EARLY MOTHER & STAMPERS: 1A & 1M. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY AS EARLY AS THIS BEFORE. FOR AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE WHICH EXPLAINS WHAT THESE MOTHER & STAMPERS MEAN, REFER TO

INNER SLEEVE
EXCELLENT: ITS THE ORIGINAL 'USE EMITEX' TYPE, WITH CORRECT POLY LINER. SUPER CLEAN, NO WRITING & ONLY SLIGHT CREASING!
COVER
VERY GOOD ERNEST J DAY COVER HAS THE 'PHOTO: ANGUS MCBEAN' CREDIT IN THE ALL IMPORTANT EXTREME LOWER RIGHT POSITION, INDICATING GOLD & BLACK COVER. OFTEN THE COVER IS 'UPGRADED' VIA SWAPPING WITH A LATER 4TH PRESS COVER WITH THE PHOTO CREDIT SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE LEFT. NOT THE CASE HERE. THERE IS RUBBING TO ALL 4 CORNERS. THE REAR OF THE COVER HAS ALL 3 FLIPBACKS STILL STUCK DOWN. THE TOP FLIPBACK TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS SCUFFED AND WORN - SEE PHOTO. NO WRITING ANYWHERE. IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN YOU OFTEN SEE. SOME RINGWEAR AND SOME MARKS HERE AND THERE. SOME CREASING TO LAMINATE.
SOUND
EXCELLENT. NO SKIPS, NO GETTING STUCK, SOUNDS GREAT ON BOTH SIDES. THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SCRATCHES CAUSE CLICKS HERE AND THERE. SOME MINOR CRACKLING AND FUZZINESS AUDIBLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND IN THE BACKGROUND.
ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ITEM FOR SALE
