The Beatles
PLEASE PLEASE ME
Pressed in Italy
1976 press
**NEAR MINT THROUGHOUT**


Have a listen to a track from this album up for auction:

This was the very first official release, being released on the 22nd of March 1963 (MONO version) and later on the 26th of April 1963 (STEREO version). The Lp reached number one in; Disc Weekly, Melody Maker,  New Musical Express and The Record Retailer in the UK. Only to be knocked off by their next album With The Beatles.

 Amazingly the songs, which were taken from their first two singles and included a further ten songs, were all recorded in one marathon session at Abbey Road Studios. John wasn't feeling too well and got throught the 3 sessions in the one day by having milk, tea and Zubes lozenges....


Catalogue number: Parlophone 3C 064 04219

Run-off info side 1: 04219-A - 29-5-70 I

Run-off info side 2: 04219-B - 29-5-70 I
 I believe this to be a 1976 pressing, but as the date in the run-off groove suggests, it could well be a 1970 pressing?!? 44 years ago to this month!

Vinyl:
QUALITY 154g
 (which would suggest an early 1970's press-before the petrol embargo and the vinyl became lightweight and flimsy..)
NMint!!.
There are only a couple of the lightest of light marks to the record, with nothing at all to affect the play. I am just listening to the vinyl right now, with her turned right up....WOW....takes you right back to the magical 60's FAB!!! The Beatles in all their original glory.
**EVEN THE RUN-INS ARE AS SILENT AS YOU COULD EVER WANT**
FLAT as the day she was born
SUPERIOR sound reproduction..Played once or twice only!!
JUST DUST
LOVELY QUIET RUN-INS
MAGICAL STEREO

Labels: NMint!. There is NO central hole wear!!
***I CANNOT EVEN SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKS**
The labels stand out immaculately, with no writing or anything to detract from it's gorgeousness.
 Outer rim text starts with:
 "RISERVATI TUTTI..."
 with "Made In Italy" text.

Cover: EX++. It is a 'A.G.P' cover with the Angus McBean in the lower right corner on the front.
It isn't laminated and does not have the flipbacks to the outside, they are now on the inside.
Only INCREDIBLY LIGHT WEAR THROUGHOUT
S-U-P-E-R-B
LARGE STEREO to the top right.
Bright white shiny card to the back.
SHARP AND STRONG CORNERS
INCREDIBLY STRONG & UNCRUSHED SPINE
No Writing at all!
Simply put: AN UPGRADE

The Inner: Near MINT! Plain white inner with die-cut top corners. No text printed to her...Looks to have popped out of a time-machine!

*ALL IN  ALL THIS REALLY IS AN UPGRADE*
