The Beatles
PLEASE PLEASE ME
Original 1963 UK Mono Third Pressing ~ "2nd Variant"
NO "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1963" TEXT ON LABELS
HAS THE ORIGINAL MARCH 1963 GOLD COVER USED ON VERY FIRST PRESSINGS
PARLOPHONE PMC 1202 : MATRIX NOs XEX 421-1N/XEX 422-1N
The vinyl is in Very Good condition. It has some sleeve removal marks and a few scuffs / scratches on each side but they're generally superficial, it lies flat and plays without jumping but there is some small surface noise that's more noticeable in the quieter segments with some very slight distortion on the end tracks of each side. This cutting is rather loud so it does minimize the noise some. It's still perfectly listenable and luckily there's no obnoxious pops! I'd recommend summing your cartridge to mono for playback.
Comes with an original mono Ernest J. Day Cover that was leftover stock from the very first Black & Gold pressings with the "Angus McBean" text moved over to the edge and it's in a Very Good+ condition. These early paper flap flipback covers are notoriously weak but this one is holding together very nicely, there's only some small signs of wear and lifting on the bottom and top of the flipbacks. Luckily they don't go all the way up and don't affect the strength of this cover. The openings are in good shape and the spine is nice and readable. Some small damage to the corners.
The record comes with it's original poly-lined Emitex inner sleeve and it's in fantastic condition! Only the very slightest signs of wear This could make for a very nice cover upgrade for anyone with an original Black/Gold pressing.
Needledrops are available on request :)
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
