THE BEATLES * PLEASE PLEASE ME LP * BLACK&GOLD LABEL * mono
UK 1963 * 1ST PRESSING
This is a very rare copy of an LP which ranks as one of the most significant album releases in pop/rock history.
This album was purchased in spring 1963 and has been in my possession ever since.
A very good example of this increasingly hard to find album.
AUDIO quality, the key characteristic of this album, is excellent, if not perfect.
The Vinyl is perfectly flat without any distortion. Both sides have an excellent gloss.
Side 1 is visibly excellent in daylight and has some very fine hairline marks visible
under spotlight.
Side 2 is visibly very good in daylight with one fine hairline scratch and two smaller
ones visible.
Labels are excellent with very little spindle wear and no writing or scratches.
The album SLEEVE front is good considering the age of the album.There are some surface creases and some wear to the corners. The back is off white and a little of the corner folds have come unstuck.
The Inner Sleeve is very good - original Emitex paper sleeve with polythene lining,some small edge folds, and album creases otherwise excellent.
