BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME"
ORIGINAL 1963 UK BLACK AND GOLD UK MONO 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED MARCH 22 1963 "PLEASE PLEASE ME" WAS THE BEATLES FIRST UK ALBUM RELEASE.
THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BLACK AND GOLD MONO, THE FIRST VERSION INCORRECTLY CREDITS FOUR TITLES TO DICK JAMES MUSIC COMPANY ON THE CORRECTED ISSUES THIS WAS CHANGED TO NORTHERN SONGS....
THE LABEL SWITCH OCCURRED BECAUSE NORTHERN SONGS WAS FORMED MIDWAY THROUGH EMI'S FIRST PRINT RUN OF THE LABELS. SHORTLY BEFORE THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED DICK JAMES INFORMED EMI THAT THE FOUR TITLES IN QUESTION WOULD NO LONGER BE PUBLISHED BY HIS COMPANY BUT BY NORTHERN SONGS. EMI THEN PRESSED ANOTHER, SMALL BATCH OF LABELS WITH THE UPDATED COPTRIGHT DETAILS. AS THE FIRST PRESSINGS WERE ALREADY IN THE WAREHOUSES AWAITING RELEASE BOTH VERSIONS ENDED UP BEING ISSUED TO THE SHOPS.

THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS STUNNING SHINING LOOKS WONDERFUL IN DAYLIGHT ALMOST UNPLAYED. UNDER INDOOR LIGHT THERE ARE LIGHT SIGNS OF PLAY NOTHING DEEP VERY CLEAN TWO FLAWS ON THIS LP ON SIDE ONE THERE IS A TINY BUMP LOOKS LIKE A MANFACTURE ERROR WILL CAUSE THIS TRACK TO MISPLAY I THINK. AND ON SIDE TWO, TRACK 7 TWIST AND SHOUT THERE IS LIGHT MARK ACROSS THE TRACK NOT SURE IF THIS WILL EFECT SOUND OR PLAY. (I CAN NOT TEST QUALITY OF SOUND ) OVERALL APART FROM THAT THE LP LOOKS IN GREAT SHAPE VG-EXCELLENT.VERY CLEAN THE COVER IS THE ORIGINAL
