Description

FOR AUCTION IS THIS 1ST ORIGINAL RECORD "LOVE ME DO" RELEASE BY THE BEATLES!!

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1962 ORIGINAL PRESSING AND DEFINATELY NOT THE 1982 REISSUE COMMONLY SEEN ON EBAY PURPORTING TO BE THE ORIGINAL!!

WE ALL KNOW THE STORY OF THIS BEING RELEASED IN LATE 1962 AS THE BEATLES 1ST RELEASE AND THE FACT THAT IT DID,NT SET THE WORLD ALIGHT ONLY CHARTING,AT ITS HIGHEST POSITION OF NUMBER 17 !!

AS WE KNOW, THINGS ONLY STARTED TO HAPPEN FOR THE BAND AFTER THE 2ND AND 3RD RELEASES AND THE REST,AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY!!

AS A RESULT,THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RECORDS BY BEATLES VINYL COLLECTORS, AND,ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE FOUND,TOP QUALITY COPIES OF THIS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN!!

I WILL NOW DESCRIBE THIS COPY IN DETAIL, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY:

THE "A" SIDE "LOVE ME DO"> PARLOPHONE 45-R 4949. THIS HAS THE CORRECT "ARDMORE & BEECHWOOD LTD" CREDIT ON THE LABEL AND IS ALSO THE RARER PRESSING WITHOUT "MADE IN GT.BRITAIN". IT HAS A LOVELY VIBRANT RED LABEL WITH VERY LITTLE WEAR APPARENT!! THE CENTRE HAS SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION AND THE OWNERS NAME WRITTEN LIGHTLY ON IT WHICH MAY NOT BE FULLY VISIBLE ON THE PHOTO,S. THE CORRECT MATRIX IN THE RUN-OUT WAX IS "7XCE 17145-1N" WITH "G.L" AND "MPZT 1 "STAMPERS. THE VINYL HAS A SUPERB GLOSS WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST PAPER SCUFFS VISIBLE!! THE PLAYBACK IS ALSO A SUPERB, CRISP MONO SOUND, THIS EASILY GRADES AT EXCELLENT!!!!

THE "B" SIDE "P.S. I LOVE YOU">PARLOPHONE 45-R 4949. THIS HAS ALL THE CORRECT LABEL CREDITS AS ABOVE. AGAIN, NICE VIBRANT LABELS WITH SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION AROUND THE CENTRE AND THE OWNERS NAME LIGHTLY WRITTEN ON IT. THE MATRIX IS 7XCE 17145-1N AGAIN WITH "G.L" AND "M.P.Z.T.1" STAMPERS. THE VINYL RATES AGAIN ABOUT EXCELLENT!!!

WHAT IS OF PARTICULAR NOTE TO COLLECTORS IS THE FACT THAT THIS IS A RARER LABEL MISPRESS!!! IF YOU LOOK ON THE "LENNON/MCCARTNEY" SONGWRITING CREDIT,YOU WILL SEE THAT THE END BRACKET IS MISSING!!!! [ PLEASE EXAMINE THE DETAILED PHOTO,S] TRY AND FIND ANOTHER WITH THIS LABEL VARIATION !!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!

THE RECORD COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL "DIAMONDS" PARLOPHONE SLEEVE CIRCA 1962/1963 WHICH HAS SOME WEAR BUT IS OVERALL IN GREAT CONDITION. THE SINGLE WILL BE HOUSED IN A NEW WHITE SLEEVE AND THEN INSERTED IN A POLY SLEEVE FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND.
