Please Please Me by the Beatles.

YEX 94

SHZE 117 A2/117 B2

The first German version to be released on Apple Electrola to the best of my knowledge dating from 1973. Easily distinguished by the seemingly entirely superfluous asterisk on the label.

Firstly, the record:

Visually stunning. Aside from a couple of exceptionally light spindle marks (invisible from any particular distance) this looks to me like a disk that's seen very little action indeed.

Nice & shiny with no marks or scratches & beautifully clean labels. 

I've play tested it & it sounds amazing. Upfront & punchy like you'd hope from a German stereo copy with quiet run ins & no surface noise.

Secondly, the sleeve:

Made of good thick cardboard. More or less pristine really apart from an odd patch of shelf rubbing around the edges & a small inoffensive name tag (hi Chris Parsons). Corners are nice & sharp too.

The pictures tell a thousand words.

A very cool obscurity you'll not find up for sale often outside of Germany at a good starting price.

Slightly tempted to keep this little beauty myself!

Please study all twelve pictures before making an offer or bidding because they make up part of the description.

Offers welcome.

I post promptly and securely second class to keep costs down and I sometimes use recycled packaging.

Polite disclaimer:

If you don't have the means to pay for a bid within 48 hours of sale then please let me know before bidding.

Also if you intend making an offer but you have further questions about the items for sale, then you should ask them *prior to making that offer. By making an offer you are committed to the sale should the retailer accept it as per eBay terms and conditions. Sorry to have to mention this but I've suffered some frankly rotten buying etiquette recently.

Domestic or GSP buyers only please.

Check out my feedback, bid with confidence, & thanks for looking
