THE BEATLES

PLEASE PLEASE ME

RARE GOLD SLEEVE 4TH PRESS

CAT. NO PCS 3042

Format: Stereo

Master Matrices YEX 94-1 / YEX 95-1

This is one of the earliest copies of this LP available
Due to the omission of the ‘Recording first published 1963’ this places this LP as one of the earliest of the pressing machines.
Sleeve: Original sleeve in Gold Sleeve in Very Good Plus condition retaining its structure. No record ring-wear, very clean with no imprints. Angus McBean in correct place for a first pressing on far right. A few laminate crease lines and corner wear, but no laminate splitting. Spine is completely intact, and the sleeve has retained a firm structure and holds the record well. There are no splits or rips to any of the edges and corners and the fold-overs are completely intact. It is very hard to find a Gold stereo sleeve in such a condition.
Inner Sleeve: Original EMI inner sleeve. Retains full structure. Has the ‘Made in Great Britain’ text.
The Vinyl: In Very Good Condition. The surfaces are smooth and look groove wear free, an unblemished pressing shine on both sides. Has signs of being played, viewed with the vinyl tilted angled under a direct light source, smooth clean surfaces with no feelable scratches, scuffs, warps or dinks. Has hairlines here and there across some of surface on both sides but no marks and nothing even remotely feelable or anything that stands out. The item has received some use but not handled badly. The vinyl will be removed from the original inner and held in a spare inner sleeve.

Lays completely flat on the turntable, heavyweight early Sixties vinyl.

The Labels: Very Good conditon . No immediately visible wear to the spindle perimeter, unless looked at close up in immense detail, light spindle location wear. No sticker residue, no writing.

Very Early Mothers/ Stampers combinations:

Side 1 - 1 GD
Side 2 - 1 P


The Audio: Reflected by the condition of the vinyl, a Very Good Plus sounding copy. Plays smoothly from start to finish on each side with immense detail and perfect stereo channeling. This isn’t quite a surface-noise free player, but it is very remarkable how well it has lasted all these decades, with no interruption or defects of any kind over any audio. Even in the quieter parts there is only what you would expect to be noticeable - just some light ticks audible, but on the whole a neat sounding copy that is guaranteed not to disappoint. It really does sound good. No jumps, skips, pops, or sticks. 
Arguably rarer than than the ‘33 1/3’ 3rd pressing Stereo Please Please Me as the pressings for Stereo started after the Mono, and there was very little time before the date was added.
