The Beatles Please Please Me - Black and Gold MONO vinyl. Dick James
This is the first pressing of The Beatles Please Please Me LP in MONO. Has the black and gold Parlophone label. A piece of rock history.
Outter sleeve spine is readable. At some point someone put tape around the edges. The tape has become discolored over the years, Angus McBean credit correctly on the far right, starting under the "S" in the word "song" Back cover has a stamp mark. I would grade it as G to G+ as there are no major tears.
I would rate the vinyl as G+ It does play through with no skipping, but has some surface noise and minor groove wear. Record label has some edge wear but clearly readable. Includes the original Emitex inner.
