you're bidding for:
Beatles - Please Please Me UK Mono 4th press? vinyl LP EX+/VG+ 1N/1N
Cat: PMC 1202 matrix: 1N/1N stampers: 13 R PM 13 R HD
LP is really clean and glossy, no significant marks that affect play, visually grades as EX+ just faint hairline marks, one fine needle scuff on side 2 but nothing is deep or feelable and doesn't affect play. Reproduction is fantastic, loud mono sound with no issues, really nice and quiet inbetween
tracks.
The sleeve is VG+, still flat and clean, no writing, sticker splits or tears but it does have a small area of brown spots on the rear, (see pics) The flip backs are all intact and it's the Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve, very light corner rubs and a a few light creases to the laminate on the front. That said, it's a really nice copy of a sleeve which is now over 60 years old.
Both Parlophone labels are VG+ with the Parlophone text, Recording First Published and KT tax code visible, no Sold in the UK text. There is moderate spindle wear and moderate spindle marks to the labels, again, no writing or stickers.

Smoke free, pet free house.
Good luck bidding
