THE BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME BLACK AND GOLD MONO VINYL LP AUSSIE PRESS ROCK RARE

	A$		67
	$		44

Where it all began for the Fab 4 in Australia! Black and Gold label mono pressing. Looks to be the 3rd label variation but others with more knowledge may correct me. Sleeve is 2nd variation with Mono and Stereo cat numbers on the back.

Vinyl (A/B): VG/VG glossy vinyl has numerous light sleeve marks and a couple of scuffs each side, nothing feelable, play tested VG or better, mostly VG+ or better, light crackle in parts, these pressings play so well!

Labels (A/B): EX/VG labels clean but B has discolouration on the LOPH of Parlophone and a couple of tiny nicks, XEX 421-1N and XEX 422-1N in the lead outs

Cover: F/F worn with a large split on spine, split top and bottom edge from opening, tape/residue on each side and opening, creasing, small tear on back at opening and a piece missing from the front as per photos

Notes on my gradings:

I only use 5 grades as follows (no endless list of G, G+, VG-, VG+, VG++, EX-, EX, EX+, NM-, NM etc…)

M (Mint a sealed or unplayed record with perfect sleeve)

EX (excellent - a very clean record that may have 1 or 2 superficial marks and negligible or no surface noise, a fantastic listen, sleeves with 1 or 2 minor blemishes only)

VG+ (very good plus - will have a few light marks/scuffs and minor surface noise on introductions, between tracks and in quieter parts of the music but still a very nice listen, sleeves with light wear to surface/corners/edges, light creasing)

VG (very good - more marks than VG+ but plays through without skips, surface noise more noticeable, sleeves have heavier creases and ring wear and/or writing and/or splits/tears)

G (good - plays with persistent background or surface noise) - won't sell many of these unless due to rarity

In addition I'll add a more detailed description because I play grade all the vinyl I sell on eBay eg a record may play EX all the way through except for 1 track with a skip or pop. I will add info like this to the description so you have complete confidence in what you're bidding on. I'm not a dealer with thousands of titles, so I spend time listening before I list records. I hate receiving poorly graded vinyl and I am wary of sellers who give airy fairy descriptions. I believe my gradings to be fair and I want you to be pleasantly surprised - but if you feel I have made an error then please get in touch before leaving feedback and we'll work out a solution.

Packaging and shipping:

I hate receiving vinyl that has been damaged due to poor packaging, so all records will be shipped the way I like to receive them - in either record mailers or in envelopes with cardboard stiffeners. I remove all vinyl from picture sleeves before shipping to minimise ring wear and all vinyl with picture sleeves will be supplied with poly inner and outer sleeves, I just don't include them in the pictures. If a 7" is not shown with a picture sleeve or original issue company sleeve, it will be sent with a white paper sleeve. I always combine postage.
