BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
ORIGINAL 1963 UK 2nd PRESSING BLACK & GOLD MONO.
WHEN INITIALLY RELEASED THE 1ST PRESSING MONO COPIES CREDITED FOUR TITLES TO THE DICK JAMES MUSIC COMPANY WHICH WAS LATER FOUND TO BE AN ERROR AND WAS CORRECTED ON THE SECOND PRESSING BLACK AND GOLD LABEL TO NORTHERN SONGS, HOWEVER ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF 2ND PRESSINGS WHERE ISSUED BEFORE THE 3RD PRESSING (BLACK AND YELLOW) WAS RELEASED THEREFORE MAKING COPIES WITH THE CORRECTED LABELS RARER THAN THE "DICK JAMES" COPIES
PMC 1202
XEX 421/2-1N-1N
STAMPERS T 1 H 1
MT TAX CODE
THE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. LABELS HAVE JUST LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND A SMALL RUBBING MARKS TO SIDE ONE. ALL WORDING IS STILL CRISP .LABELS ARE FREE FROM WRITING AND SCRATCH MARKS. SIDE ONE CARRIES EMBOSSED MT TAX CODE WHICH IS STILL HIGHLY VISIBLE.
THE VINYL WHICH STILL RETAINS A NICE SHEEN DOES PLAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE SOME SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SCRATCHES. SOME OF THESE MARKS DO CAUSE SOME CRACKLE TO RUN IN GROOVE AND TRACK GROOVES BETWEEN THE FIRST THREE TRACKS ONE SIDE ONE, THE NEXT FOUR TRACKS PLAY WITH NO DISTORTION.
SIDE TWO PLAYS REALLY QUIET APART FROM SOME SLIGHT CRACKLE TO TRACK GROOVE ON "P.S I LOVE YOU".... BUT NONE OF THIS REALLY SPOILS LISTENING ENJOYMENT.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB . IT IS INTACT AND SHOWS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE ORIGINAL E.J.DAY SLEEVE IS EXCELELNT GIVEN ITS AGE. THE FRONT DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL CREASES AND SOME LIGHT CORNER AND EDGE WEAR. THE REAR IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND STILL QUITE WHITE WITH SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND ALL SEAMS LIE FLAT. THE SLEEVE STILL DISPLAYS A NICE GLOSS .
OVERALL THIS IS A REALLY GREAT COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL BLACK & GOLD MONO.
