Beatles Please Please Me Black Gold Dick James mono 1st Pressing PMC 1202


NOTE: I've been onformed this is a "crossover" by a helpful eBayer, here is what they said.....

"The northern songs label came out after the album came out. The first label had the wrong writers credit. So new labels were printed. However this album has one old label and one correct one. It’s called a crossover"

There's so many on Discogs that I can't make head, nor tail of the info, however, please just ensure you inspect the images and etchings below etc prior to purchase.

This was my Grandads, but since I ended up working at EMI and subsequently Universal I have more modern issues I can keep and enjoy and this deserves to go to a collector, both the sleeve and record are in worn, well loved and used but poor condition, sold more as a collectible than for audio quality, as you can see from the images I have my own turntables and approximately 2000 records but I’m interested in dance music and records like this deserve to go to true Beatles collectors , if you understand, read on…


The sleeve is torn and very worn, it’s come apart on the rear bottom seam and has other heavy wear.


The record is in very worn condition, there are several scratches, most notably effecting tracks 1-3 on side 1 where the music jumps and there’s also a large pop sound on the title track of side 1.


Side 2 plays ok, a few lighter pops and crackles.


There’s obviously a lot of lighter pops and crackles on both sides, too many to list so selling as well worn. At the least, it could do with a deep professional clean.


I’ve put the record in a new poly lined inner bag but will include the original paper inner bag. I’ve also put everything in a pre-owned plastic 12” bag to further protect it and I ship using card stiffeners and records mailers.


See images, sold as seen and honestly described.


Difficult to price but I’m going below the median price and have added best offer to the listing and will consider it over the coming days to get an idea of the demand and price point.
