BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME
ORIGINAL 1963 UK 3RD STEREO PRESSING
OFFERED IN STUNNING CONDITION, A VERY RARE UK STEREO 3RD PRESSING.
THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND RARELY SEEN STEREO ISSUE CARRIES ALL THE ESSENTIAL EARLY PRESSING CRITERIA... 1ST STAMPERS, THE VERY RARE SMALL (a rarity in itself) AND LARGE 33 1/3 TO LABELS BUT UNUSUALLY NO TAX CODE. IT IS HOUSED IN ITS CORRECT E.J DAY "GOLD" SLEEVE WITH FAR RIGHT ANGUS MCBEAN CREDIT AND LARGE STEREO LOGO TO THE FRONT. THIS COPY ALSO COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL 60'S SHOP BAG.
WITHIN THE SHORT SPACE OF TIME THAT 3RD PRESSING COPIES WHERE AVAILABLE, POSSIBLY ONLY 2-4 WEEKS THERE WERE TWO LABEL CHANGES, THE FIRST FOLLOWED THE PATTERN OF THE BLACK AND GOLD STEREO LABELS BY CARRYING THE SMALL 33 1/3 BUT ALSO CARRIED THE LARGE 33 1/3 TO THE TOP OF THE LABEL, ONCE IT WAS REALISED THAT THIS REPETITION WAS NOT NEEDED THE LABEL DESIGN WAS CHANGED AGAIN AND THE SMALL 33 1/3 WAS DELETED.
ONLY A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF STEREO 3RD PRESSINGS EXIST AND EVEN FEWER COPIES EXIST WITH THE SMALL 33 1/3 CREDIT.
PCS 3042
YEX.94/95-1-1
STAMPERS P 1 G 1
NO TAX CODE TO EITHER LABELS OR RUN OFF GROOVE.
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN EXAMINED CLOSELY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS APPEAR TO HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE TRAILS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE. ALL LETTERING IS PERFECT, BRIGHT AND INTACT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUBBING AND DISPLAY A GENUINE UNBLEMISHED "LIKE NEW" APPEARANCE..... LABELS CARRY THE SMALL 33 1/3 CREDIT AND ALSO THE LARGER 33 1/3 CREDIT.
THE GLOSSY VINYL HAS CLEARLY ONLY RECIEVED A LIMITED NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT DOES DISPLAY SOME LIGHT PLAY MARKS, AND A VISIBLE NEEDLE MARK TO TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO BUT IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THIS IS NOT FEELABLE AND DOES NOT AFFECT AUDIO. ANY OTHER LIGHT MARKS ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT AND ARE NOT SEVERE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THER IS NO DULLING TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.
ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALED A PERFECT AND PRISTINE AUDIO. THE STRONG STEREO SOUND IS CLEAR AND CRISP THROUGHOUT AND PLAYS FROM START TO FINISH WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR DISTORTION. ALL GROOVES ARE SILENT AND EVEN THE QUIET PARTS OF THE AUDIO ARE PERFECT WITH NO CRACKLE OR ANY OTHER DISTORTION PRESENT.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, APART FROM THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES ,IT DISPLAYS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. IT IS STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND IS STILL VERY VERY CRISP.
THE OUTER AND CORRECT EARLY E.J DAY SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE LAMINATED FRONT WHICH CARRIES THE LARGE STEREO LOGO DISPLAYS JUST A FEW EDGE WRINKLES . THE FRONT MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS AND ALL COLOURS AND LETTERING ARE SHARP AND BRIGHT. THERE IS SOME VERY VERY MINOR VISIBLE EDGE AGEING TO BOTTOM EDGE BUT IN FAIRNESS THIS IS MINOR. THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CORNER BUMPS ARE EVIDENT ,THESE WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED THROUGH STORAGE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH A HINT OF FEATHERING EVIDENT. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS A STUNNING BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR WITH VIRTUALLY NO HANDLING MARKS PRESENT. THE BOTTOM SEAM HAS SUFFERED SOME LIGHT CREASING TOWARDS SPINE EDGE AND SOME LIGHT WEAR TO LEFT EDGE AND THE TOP SEAM HAS A TINY AMOUNT OF WEAR PRESENT TO SPINE EDGE BUT AGAIN THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN CAUSED THROUGH GENERAL HANDLING OVER THE YEARS AND WOULD BE MY ONLY CRITICAL POINT OF THE SLEEVE. THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIGID WITH NO CREASING OR WEAR.
THIS SUPERB ALBUM COMES COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 60'S SHOP PAPER BAG. THE ADVERTISING BAG, WHICH FEATURES ADS FOR EMI AND HMV IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
THIS HAS TO A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE AN EXTREMLEY RARE AND GENUINELY SOUGHT AFTER VERY IST UK STEREO 3RD PRESSING WHICH CARRIES THE SELDOM SEEN SMALL 33 1/3 CREDIT.
THESE COPIES DO NOT SURFACE FOR SALE THAT OFTEN IN ANY CONDITION, AFTER THE BLACK AND GOLD STEREO THIS HAS TO BE THE RAREST AN HARDEST STEREO ALBUM TO OBTAIN AND IS CERTAINLY RARER THAN ANY BLACK AND GOLD MONO OR EXPORT ALBUM . THIS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE CONSIDERED A COMPLETISTS DREAM BUT ALSO A TRUE INVESTMENT PIECE.
