NOT ONLY A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF A LAST 1969/70 YELLOW/BLACK UK PRESSING THIS HAS TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR RAREST EVER MONO PRESSING !!

WHY ? WELL WITHOUT THE SOLD IN UK TEXT ON TH LABEL THIS PRESS DATES FROM AUGUST 1969 TO JANUARY  1970 . THIS IS VARIANT IS RARE ENOUGH IN STEREO AS THIS LP WASN'T EXACTLY FLYING OFF THE SHELVES IN 1969 ( CAN YOU IMAGINE A MORE UNFASHIONABLE BEATLES LP IN 1969 ? ) BUT THIS IS IN A MEGA RARE MONO COPY AND THAT TIME NOT ONLY  MONO PRESSINGS WERE BEING PHASED OUT AS THEY WERE NOW ONLY SELLING IN TINY NUMBERS AND WOULD BE DISCONTINUED COMPLETELY BY 1970 !!

THIS VARIANT IS EASILY RARER THAN THE FIRST BLACK AND GOLD PRESSINGS AND PROBABLY RARER THAN THE Y/B " SMALL 33 1/3 " LABEL VARIANTS OF MID 1963.

IN TRUTH IT ONLY HAS ONE CANDIDATE THAT CAN CALL ITSELF RARER THAN THIS PRESS, THAT IS THE MONO ONE BOX EMI ISSUE FROM EARLY 1970 BUT BE IN NO DOUBT HOW RARE THIS PRESS IS, IN BEATLES COLLECTNG . COM THEY SAY :

Mono 7th Label

This variation is similar to the 6A and 6B label but lacks the "Sold In UK Subject to Resale Price Conditions" text above the spindle hole. It appeared during summer 1969 just before EMI decided to switch the Parlophone label to a completely new design. As such it's quite rare to find one, especially so for an early album (in mono!) such as "Please Please Me" as not many people would have been interested in this LP when "The White Album" and "Abbey Road" were on the market. This is a rare variation of which we've only seen a handful.

OF COURSE IT IS HOUSED IN IT'S CORRECT AND RARE SMALL MONO SLEEVE - GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL !!

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ON THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….
