Description

If my design looks familiar it's because I used to sell with the eBay username mikeharb83, but have had to abandon that account as I am no longer able to sell with it.

 

PLEASE READ FIRST!

Please be aware that I VISUALLY GRADE my records as I do not have access to a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).

All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

THE BEATLES
Please Please Me

Original UK Mono Press with Mega Rare Label Error!

On offer is an original 1963 issue of the Beatles debut LP 'Please Please Me' on the yellow / black Parlophone label. This particular copy features one of the most hardest to find, most rarest and most sought after label errors ever!

A tiny, tiny number of copies (to date, it looks like only 4-5 have ever been discovered) have an error where lines 6 and 7 have been swapped, meaning that track 4 is listed as Do You Want to Know, before listing track 6 immediately after as There's a Place a Secret.

Such an obvious error would have been caught and sorted immediately, with offending copies being destroyed by the factory. However, a handful of copies seemingly escaped, one of which being this one!

I can almost guarantee that you do not have this error in your Beatles collection! Well, now's your chance to finally add one!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in GOOD+ condition. Has a nice enough shine on it but has a fair amount of light scuffing along with some slight heavier looking marks. Nothing serious or nasty looking, though. Label Condition The labels are in VG condition. Neither labels have writing or tears, but are a little worn with spindlewear and whitening around the centrehole.


All records have been 
visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.

The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've
sent you out an amended invoice to combine postage.

All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
