THE BEATLES: "Please Please Me" LP. UK LP IN RARE STEREO ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL.

  1965 PRESSING, THE VERY FIRST WITH THE JUST INTRODUCED "Gramophone Co. Ltd." LABEL RIM TEXT.

As well as the "Gramophone Co. Ltd." label text replacing "Parlophone Co. Ltd.", also during 1965, EMI now made the final

  adjustment to the format lettering size, on the front top corners of all their covers.  This was not unique to Beatles covers,

  but it is much easier to talk in terms of their albums, 'Mono' and 'Stereo' had been gradually reduced from the largest sizes.

  The largest lettering is found on the 1963 "Please Please Me" and "With The Beatles" covers, the first  change for the solid block lettering was in 1964, a medium size lettering was used for the mono and stereo album covers. Then in 1965 and for the rest of the 1960's, the final small lettering

size became standard, with the label text and cover changes.

  

  any unsold and still unused earlier covers were used up first, so there were 1965 - 1966 presed Stereo records placed into the

  earlier 1963 - 1964 covers, Stereo records were in very small minority.  

  

  the very first made 1965 covers, a new design and a new Patent had to be applied for.  You can see that text was actually printed

  freshly, not taken from an older template, the minute size of the 'Garrod & Lofthouse' credit and catalogue number is more like

  the 'EJDay' credit lettering size.  All the important details can be seen in close up pictures, the stunning condition cover considering the years.

Whilst I endeavour to dispatch items as quickly as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared, please allow 14 days for delivery in the UK, 21 days overseas, before reporting alleged non-delivery; you will almost always receive your items much quicker than this (I post out at least once a week, usually on a Friday) but delays can be encountered within the postal system after dispatch. Please note that items for which payment has been received after 12 midnight on the Wednesday are unlikely to be included in that same week's dispatch.

Returns are accepted for full money back refund, including postal costs, in respect of any item returned in its original condition within 10 days after it has been delivered.

I will not charge a re-stocking fee.

Condition Grading of Vinyl Records

the condition-grading of records is visually because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.

I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction

MINT

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR

The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
