My clearout continues!

I'm now clearing our a batch of Beatles LPs that I bought in a collection a few years back. Watch this space for more titles....

Beatles - Please Please Me UK Mono 1st press vinyl LP Gold label Dick James

Visually a lovely copy of this super rare first press Beatles lp, one of the nicest I've ever had, The vinyl grades as VG visually and is full of original gloss and sheen with hairline marks and a few needle drop scuffs and light marks. That said, visually it's a great copy. There are however two small feelable marks on PS I love you, one doesn't affect play but the other causes a tiny skip forward. Due to this skip it would grade as Poor but visually it's a great copy and I appreciate most people buying this are more driven by the appearance rather than play grade.

That said the reproduction is fantastic! Powerful mono sound,  hardly any background noise, just the small skip mentioned. A really enjoyable listen.  Both black and gold labels are VG+ if not better, little wear and tear, no stickers and no writing.

The first press front  laminated sleeve is in VG condition. The spine is wonderful and clear and most corners are pretty good. The front is VG+ buf the rear has light discoloration and tape marks on two corners, plus a small crease. Thst said there's no tears, splits or writing, still a respectable sleeve. Orig emitex inner is VG.

Smoke free, pet free house. Good luck bidding
