The Beatles Please please me vinyl LP Original UK stereo pressing

Cat. no. PCS 3042
YEX 94-1 and YEX 95-1 matrices MT tax code on side 2 1P and 1G stampers

Vinyl is in nice condition. Still very clean, glossy and bright with just light sleeve removal scuffs and a few light hairlines visible under strong light. One longer scuff on side 2 but this is superficial and unfeelable. VG+
Labels are very clean with no writing, tears or stickers. Some minor spindle trails on both sides but not overplayed at all. VG+
Audio is really great. Crisp and clear with no sticks or jumps. Very little surface noise even between tracks and during the quieter sections and no distortion. A strong EX
Sleeve is in nice condition. Clean and solid with glossy laminate and no splits or tears. Opening edge still sharp. Spine is still very straight but with some laminate peeling. Rear and flipbacks still clean but with  some minor damage to top flipback. An address is stamped on the bottom of the rear but otherwise this grades as VG to VG+
Includes original 'use emitex' Inner which have no splits and minor age related yellowing. EX


Overall a really nice example of this rare stereo UK pressing with fantastic audio. VG+/VG+

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc..

Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
