THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PMC 1202
RELEASED 1963
THIS IS THE FIRST YELLOW AND BLACK LABEL PRESSING WITH THE  RARE SMALL 33 1/3 ON THE LABEL WHICH IS ALONG SIDE THE MATRIX (XEX 422) AND COMES IN ITS EQUALLY RARE  'BLACK AND GOLD' SLEEVE WITH FAR RIGHT ANGUS Mc BEAN CREDIT THAT WAS SUPPLIED AT THE TIME

THESE COPIES (5000 PRESSED) ARE RARER THAN BLACK AND GOLD MONO COPIES ( APPROX 37000 PRESSED)
THE LABELS USED ALTHOUGH BLACK AND YELLOW ARE IDENTICAL TO THE LATER BLACK AND GOLD LABELS WITH THE NORTHERN SONGS CREDITS ( EARLIER BLACK AND GOLD LABELS HAD DICK JAMES CREDITS)

BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DETAILS I HAVE TO POINT OUT THIS IS BEING LISTED FOR ITS RARITY ITS NOT TOO GOOD A COPY THERE ARE MANY HANDLING / NEEDLE AND SCUFF MARKS TO BOTH SIDES IT WOULD NORMALLY BE CLASSED AS A COLLECTION STARTER / FILLER
HAVING SAID THAT IT DOES PLAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT STICKING OR SKIPPING BUT WITH STATIC AND CRACKLES BETWEEN TRACKS AND OCCASIONALLY ON THE TRACKS SO PLEASE BE AWARE BEFORE BIDDING

STAMPER NUMBERS     2    GH       1    M MATRICES                  421-1N         422-1N
TAX CODE IS 'MZT' ON SIDE 2 CENTRE
RECORD SLEEVE IS IN REASONABLE CONDITION ALL TEXT AND IMAGES ARE LEGIBLE WITH SOME CREASING AROUND THE EDGES AND THE OPENING EDGE AND AS MENTIONED IS NORMALLY REFFERED TO AS A 'BLACK AND GOLD SLEEVE' WITH THE FAR RIGHT ANGUS McBEAN CREDIT
SLEEVE REAR ALTHOUGH AGAIN ALL LEGIBLE AND CARRYING THE ERNEST J DAY PRINTERS CREDIT DOES HAVE A CIRCLE DRAWN ON IT IN INK AND A FURTHER INK MARK TOP LEFT
EMITEX INNER IS IN CLEAN CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE SOME CREASING TO BOTH SIDES

VINYL RECORD ON BOTH SIDES DOES HAVE AS MENTIONED MANY VISIBLE HANDLING NEEDLE AND SCUFF MARKS SOME OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE BUT THE RECORD DOES PLAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES

LABELS ARE BOTH LEGIBLE SOME WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE AND A NEEDLE MARK AROUND THE EDGE ON SIDE 1 LABEL AT THE TOP

SO REPEATING THE EARLIER STATEMENT PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU ARE BIDDING ON THIS IT IS REALLY ONLY A COLLECTION STARTER / FILLER
