Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Please Please Me" and is an ORIGINAL 1963 UK STEREO Pressing on the Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS THE BEATLES FIRST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE (LIKE THIS!)!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! AND BEFORE I GET ANY EMAILS - I HAVENT A CLUE WHICH PRESSING THIS IS. I PERSONALLY WOULD DATE IT TO AROUND MID TO LATE 1964. IN 1994 THERE WERE 4 LISTED PRESSINGS OF PLEASE PLEASE ME, IN 2004 THERE WAS 6 DIFFERENT PRESSINGS. TODAY???? THERE SEEMS TO BE ABOUT 20. THEY EVEN INCLUDE 'AN EXTRA 33 1/3' AS A PRESSING NOW - WHICH IT WASNT, IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE LABEL ERROR WHICH THE PRESSING MACHINES DIDNT EVEN STOP TO CORRECT!!!! ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS LP - IS THAT IT DATES FROM AROUND MID TO LATE 1964!!!!
HOWEVER, WHAT I CAN SAY - IS THAT IT IS THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!! FIRSTLY IT IS MADE IN STEREO - WHICH IS FAR RARER THAN THE COMMON MONOs FROM THIS PERIOD!!!! AND SECONDLY IT HAS A 'MID-SIZED' STEREO ON THE COVER FRONT - WHICH IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND (MOST ARE EITHER 'LARGE' STEREOs OR 'SMALL' STEREOs!)!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY RARE - IS THAT IT HAS 'FIRST PUBLISHED' AND 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT ON THE LABELS!!!! AGAIN LIKE THE COVER - FINDING ONE OF THESE TEXT VARIATIONS IS VERY COMMON - THE EARLY ONES HAVING 'FIRST PUBLISHED' AND THE LATER ONES JUST HAVING 'SOLD IN THE UK'. BUT FINDING BOTH TOGETHER IS VERY RARE INDEED!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT WITH A 'MID-SIZED' STEREO ON THE COVER FRONT & 'FIRST PUBLISHED' & 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT - MAKES THIS THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - WITH A BRILLIANT COVER!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 'RAREST EVER' 1964 UK STEREO PRESSING ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 'FIRST PUBLISHED' & 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT, ORIGINAL 'EMITEX' INNER SLEEVE, AND 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' STEREO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Parlophone UK Pressing from 1964 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is PCS 3042 on the Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK STEREO Pressing!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO rips, NO tears, NO stickers, NO wear (apart from a TINY 'touched in' trace around 1 centre hole), NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition - and plays BRILLIANTLY!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, NO nasty 'tick' marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 long (but NON sounding!) scufflines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays even BETTER than visual!!!! It plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good(Minus) (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed, that plays BRILLIANTLY!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record comes in its ORIGINAL 'Emitex' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' STEREO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the bottom corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, VERY nice flipbacks, NO flipback loss AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
