Description

BEATLES LP PLEASE PLEASE ME 1963 MONO Y/B PARLOPHONE in lovely EX/EX+ CONDITION.

On offer is a SUPERB condition BEATLES LP - PLEASE PLEASE ME released in the UK in MONO on the yellow-black PARLOPHONE label PARLOPHONE PMC 1202 in 1963.

This particular pressing is the MONO 2nd Yellow / Black pressing - with the ‘‘THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.’ / ‘RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963’ label text but without ‘Sold in the UK…’  The LP has the Ernest J. Day & Co sleeve and comes with its original ‘USE EMITEX’ polythene –lined inner sleeve. The cover has the large ‘mono’ on the front cover.

This is a very nice condition original PLEASE PLEASE ME Beatles LP as follows

• The vinyl is visually in SUPERB EX to EX+ condition – both sides of the disc are in extremely nice clean and clear condition with lovely sheens / glosses. The grading of the disc is a SUPERB EX to EX+ condition; it is very nice indeed. 

• I have test played the LP for this auction (for the first time in many years!) and it sounds great! To play it is a treat: it has a lovely full sound – very rich with absolutely no off-putting background surface noise at all. . It is very silent between tracks: which always indicates a good quality disc!

• The Matrix numbers are: Side 1: XEX 421-1N. Side 2: XEX 422 -1N.

• The disc has nice clear, clean labels on both sides of the LP. There is only a very tiny amount of spindle mark: the disc has not been played very much at all. The label has ‘THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.’ ‘RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963’ text and has the K.T. tax code [on the Side 1 label]. 

• The FRONT cover of the Ernest J Day laminated flip-back picture sleeve is in great EX [bordering EX+] condition. It has a very clean and clear front picture sleeve with some minor creasing only. The back (non-laminated) cover is in lovely EX condition too: with a tiny bit of ring wear only. The LP has been kept stored in a plastic sleeve for the many years I have owned it. It is in superb EX [bordering EX+] condition LP sleeve.  

• The spine is nice and clear as well with the credits – Please Please Me – The Beatles being clearly visible.

• The LP has its original ‘USE EMITEX’ Parlophone inner – which is in intact and in VG+ condition: ever since I purchased this LP many years ago I have kept the disc housed in a plain white inner (which will also be supplied to the winner) to protect the original EMITEX inner. 


In summary - this is a SUPERB condition PLEASE PLEASE ME mono – I would overall grade this as being a very strong EX [almost EX+] picture sleeve cover with a lovely strong EX [almost EX+] disc that plays SUPERBLY WELL and as such this would be a SUPERB addition to a Beatles collection.

Track listing is as follows (note tracks are Lennon- McCartney compositions unless otherwise stated):- I Saw Her Standing There /  Misery / Anna (Go to him) [Alexander] / Chains [Goffin/King] /  Boys [Dixon/Farrell] /  Ask Me Why / Please Please Me /  Love Me Do /  P.S. I Love You / Baby It's You [David/Williams/Bacharach] / Do You Want To Know A Secret / A Taste Of Honey [Scott/Marlow] / There's A Place / Twist And Shout [Medley/Russell].
