THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"

VERY FIRST UK 1st Yellow / Black - MONO PRESS with small " Gold Label" 33/3 .

FORGET The Parlophone MONO GOLD LABEL, this IS the rarest MONO OF THEM ALL..

DEFINITELY THE MOST ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO ANY BEATLES COLLECTION., AND IS WITHOUT SHADOW OF A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE AND SOUGHT AFTER OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL.

WITH ONLY A MINUSCOLO NUMBER OF COPIES EVER PRODUCED, AND IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING (AND HOARDING) I'VE ONLY COME ACROSS A FEW IN THIS TIP TOP CONDITION, SO OBVIOUSLY THESE ELUSIVE ALBUMS RARELY SURFACE FOR SALE AND THEREFORE DEMAND FOR ANY COPY IS HIGH.

PCM 1202

XEX 94/95-1-1

STAMPERS: 

SIDE One 2 - RP

SIDE Two 2- GO

PURCHASE TAX CODE STAMP " ZT " ON SIDE TWO.

THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS WHICH FEATURE THE SMALL 33/3 ARE IN SUPERB EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID WITH PERFECT LETTERING. BOTH LABELS ARE CRISP AND EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING.

JUST A LITTLE WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB FOR SOMETHING THATS 51 YEARS OLD. THE VINYL LOOKS GREAT UNDER NORMAL LIGHT, BUT CLOSER INSPECTION THERE ARE A LOT OF HAIRLINE MARKS EVIDENT ...

 VISUAL GRADING - VERY GOOD +

PLAY GRADING - EXCELLENT ++ / NEAR MINT

THERE ARE NO AUDIO IMPERFECTIONS WHATSOEVER. THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING

IT SOUNDS GREAT, AS DO THE BEATLES THEMSELVES.  THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS AND WOULD CONSIDER AUDIO IS STRONG, CLEAR AND VIBRANT.
