THE BEATLES

PLEASE PLEASE ME

RARE 1R/ 1A STAMPERS

CAT. NO PMC 1202

Format: Mono

Master Matrices XEX 421-1N/ XEX 422-1N

This is one of the earliest copies of this LP available
Due to 1R/ 1A Mother and Stamper combination, this places this LP as one of the earliest off the pressing machines.
Sleeve: Original sleeve in Good Plus condition retaining its structure. No record ring-wear, and generall clean with no imprints. Has a split to bottom right rear panel above flip-back approx 4 inches, a split to top right rear 1 inch along edge. Sticker residue and writing to rear panel. Angus McBean in correct place for a first pressing on far right. Laminate creases, laminate splitting, but spine is completely intact, and generally the sleeve has retained a firm structure and holds the record well, as it still slides in ok.
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 and a few noticeable marks but nothing feelable. The item has received fair 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 Plus condition. Original Dick James credits. No immediately visible wear to the spindle perimeter, unless looked at close up in immense detail, just some light spindle location lines/ marks. Sticker residue.
Earliest ZT embossed tax code for Please Please Me on side 2
Mothers/ Stampers combinations:

Side 1 - 1 R
Side 2 - 1 A


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 mono channeling. This isn’t surface-noise free player, but it is quite 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. No jumps, skips, pops, or sticks. Would have been one of the first batch in the stores back in March 1963 which makes it earlier than most that come up for sale.
