Description

ORIGINAL 1963 MONO LP. Vinyl in VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT condition (see below for more info). Cat No Parlophone PMC 1202.

FIRST PRESSING Black and gold label LP, in ORIGINAL SLEEVE

Despite some surface scuffs and some short light scratches this LP plays with well, with a only little background noise - which is mainly heard between tracks - please see track listing for more information.

Matrix numbers XEX 421-1N and XEX 422-1N. MT Tax code just visible on side 2 label, incorrect Dick James credits on label.

Original 1st pressing Ernest J. Day sleeve is in overall very good condition - Angus McBean credit in extreme right corner. Front cover is worn and creased on the edges, with knock wear on all four corners, and some heavier creasing down the right opening edge side.

The spine is complete and legible, with a little laminate crack marks.

All three flipbacks are complete, but the bottom flipback has come unstuck and needs re-glueing. It has also been sellotaped at some time (now gone, but marked). Some handling wear down the side opening edge, a dirty mark in the top right corner and a name written in the top left corner (see picture).

Poly lined emitex inner sleeve is stained and very worn and torn down one side. I will also supply a replacement Emitex inner sleeve which is in excellent condition, except the lining is missing. (ie two inner sleeves will be supplied)

Light spindle wear and spindle marks on the labels.

Side 1 (VERY GOOD - 4 crackles between tracks 2 and 3 : Some background crackles heard during playback, although mainly between tracks)

I saw her standing there
Misery
Anna (Go to him)
Chains
Boys
Ask me why
Please please me

Side 2 (VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT - 2 audible clicks between tracks 5 and 6, and 4 between tracks 6 and 7 : Some background crackles, but not as much as side 1)

Love me do
P.S. I love you
Baby it's you
Do you want to know a secret
A taste of honey
There's a place
Twist and shout
