Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

THE BEATLES
Please Please Me
Rare 1966 Mono Press with MT Tax Code!

This listing is for a rare '6th Press' copy of the Beatles debut LP 'Please Please Me'. This copy features the 'Gramo' rimtext and 'Sold in UK' statement, and also has the indented (P) dates, suggesting that this copy was pressed in late 1966. This copy also has the MT tax code on the disc, which is often found on the '66 issue. By this time Please Please Me was long out of the charts and fans had moved on to buying Rubber Soul and Revolver. Because of this, sales of this variation was low and, today, are hard to find.

Comes in a rare large Mono Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
