Description
THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
VERY VERY FIRST UK GOLD - MONO PRESS with " Dick James Credits"
The Parlophone MONO GOLD LABEL IS the First Ever MONO OF THEM ALL..
DEFINITELY A MUST HAVE PIECE WHICH WOULD BE A FINE ADDITION TO ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION., AND IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST FABLED AND DESIRED OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL.
WITH VERY FEW OF THESE RELEASED WITH THIS LABEL, IT IS USUALLY A STARTING POINT FOR ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR.
ORIGINAL EARLY UK GOLD LP'S ARE ALWAYS SOUGHT AFTER (AND THEREFORE QUITE EXPENSIVE) BECAUSE SO FEW WERE PRESSED. THIS ONE IS FROM THE VERY FIRST BATCH PRESSED.
PCM 1202
XEX 94/95-1-1
STAMPERS: 1 G on side one & 1 R on side two
Making this THE Very Very FIRST pressing.THERE IS NO EARLIER
THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO QUITE LOVELY... LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN PLAYED,AS IT DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES IT HAS TO BE SAID AND A FEW VERY FEINT PAPER MARKS. I HAVE TRIED TO GET A CLOSE PHOTO OF THIS BUT IT JUST ABOUT SHOWS UP ON ONE OF THE PHOTOS. THERE ARE NO AUDIO IMPERFECTIONS THOUGH. THE GLOSSY VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING ETC.
ON A RECENT PLAY THROUGH, IT SOUNDS GREAT, AS DO THE BEATLES THEMSELVES, AND EVEN THOUGH I DO MAKE A POINT OF LISTENING TO ALL OR MOST THAT I LIST, I PLAY VERY CAREFULLY ON A CORRECTLY SET UP REGA PLANAR 3 (ie,GOOD RECORD PLAYER). THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT MANY CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS AND WOULD CONSIDER AUDIO IS STRONG, CLEAR AND VIBRANT.
THE CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS IN AN EXCELLENT SUPERB CONDITION WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR WORDING".
WITH ONLY A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF COPIES TO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AT THE VERY BEGINNING, THESE GOLD ALBUMS WERE USUALLY ALWAYS PLAYED TO DEATH BY 1964!.
FINDING ONE IN vg+ CONDITION OR HIGHER IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT AND THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS IN A NICE SHAPE. THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER THOUGH STILL HAVING A FEW MARKS.
THE GOLD LABELS ARE CLEAR AND BRIGHT WITH JUST A FEW AGE SPOTS SHOWING.
THOUGH NOT MINT,THESE ARE ALWAYS ON THE WISH LIST AND THEREFORE DEMAND FOR ANY COPY IS HIGH.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE BEATLES ALBUM OF ALL TIME.
