Special Note
This is a chance to get a very, very rare first Australian pressing of Please Please me by the Beatles. The cover is also the one where it had only a mono on the back which means there was no stereo pressing at the time in Australia
The gold label was only out for a few months before parlophone standardised to the yellow/black mono labels
There is another also rare mono label but the Made in Australia is in the middle of the label. This has the made in Australia in the circumference of the label at the bottom.
I have photographed the matrix numbers.

Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG)
