    'Following the release of the complete CD remasters and the BBC documentary, interest in the Beatles is greater than ever. With great condition vinyl pressings becoming rarer by the day, there’s never been a better time to invest in an original vinyl pressing of this classic Beatles album.'   

An exceptional copy in very clean condition that plays great from start to finish. Original RARE Yellow and Black pressing of one of The Beatles most sought after LP's.    

.

ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING: 

Yes – brilliant! - EXCELLENT +++ sound quality throughout

Absolutely no skips, pops or distortion. Minimal surface sound between tracks, they sound is clean and crisp, absolutely wonderful. This great record plays beyond the visual grading. it plays through with great mono power and clarity. The Tones are beautifully defined in this first UK pressing, with a great depth of sound and each channel being clearly defined, with a warm rich sound, which is infinitely superior to the later pressings. 

Thick quality press with the wider, first pressed grooves, make this audio really pack a punch.   Strong, undistorted sound free of any loud pops or clicks. Channels are clean and unstressed. The record plays with staggering power, with a minimum of surface sound during the tracks.

Great audio with minimal interference to distract form the overly enjoyment of this great record and hardly any surface or static noise between the tracks

The music jumps out, with definition and clarity, particularly on the percussion instruments, and vocals which come through with tremendous power. As is the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear.

On the whole there are no pops of clicks. The only thing I noticed was three light pops at the beginning of 'Anna'.

A great all round example of this great vinyl. Very Clear sound. Extremely clean between the tracks. 

.

THE RECORD - VISUAL GRADING - EXCELLENT 

This is an exceptional copy of PLEASE PLEASE ME   A stunning piece of glossy vinyl. Largely unmarked apart from a couple of faint hairlines. A really wonderful example  

VINYL SOUND - Please Note: 

Top quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and is what I always aim for. Even with the cleanest copies you will find occasional static sound during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and I advise a light clean should be given between plays for optimal performance. 

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING: 

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.        

THE COVER – EXCELLENT 

Cover is the rare press version - Printed and Made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London with Angus McBean credit.        

The front is EXCELLENT, with a fantastic sheen. It is flat and crisp with little wear to the corners and minimal laminate creasing. Flip backs are intact with some light creasing. The Spine and spine text is totally intact and the spine is undamaged. Some light mottling and marks on the back only.

The opening edges are very square and totally un frayed.  The white areas are very white.

A great solid example. All round, this is a really nice cover!!!    

THE LABELS -  EXCELLENT  CONDITION 

deep colour with some light spindle traces only. Famous great Condition, with no scratches or writing. Great all round examples.

THE INNER

EXCELLENT condition, NO tears around the die cut openings, and NO wear at the tops. Crisp and Clean, - a great example.    

RARITY

Early pressings are getting very rare, and available copies are getting scarcer by the day. To find a copy in this condition makes it highly sort after, collectable and fast becoming very difficult to find. There are a mixture of new and old formats being sold from the very early days of this albums release, without any doubt that these ones sold out fast. What is totally certain is the ratio of original format copies is only a small fraction compared to the many pressed and re-pressed later versions. 

Finding a 1N 2N Yellow and Black Parlophone pressing in great condition is very rare indeed   The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound. Any Yellow and Black  examples with a record in this type of condition, that plays practically perfectly, is very rare. 

The cover is almost impossible to find without serious wear, even modestly worn examples are scarce and this one is one of the better examples. Finding a nice cover like this, with a great piece of vinyl, fantastic!. 

A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXTREMELY RARE PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY. 

       NO TEARS, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS, NO SEAM SPLITS, NO JUMPS OR STICKS - GUARANTEED!

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, etc.
