NOTES
  Up for auction here the Asutralian first press of the Fabs' first album, published on "Old Style" Silver / Black "BANNER STEREO" Parlophone Label. Contrary to the U.K., Gold / Black was used for mono pressings only (1st Press Oct 17, 1963, and 2nd January 1964, both G/B Parlophone, PMCO 1202). 

As with most Australian early and mid-60s releases, this pressing came in a number of different label variations - to our knowledge, there's no Parlophone branch worldwide that came up with more (and more complicated to-distinct) versions of labels of one and the same pressings. We've listed the most significant details -at least for the stereo first press- in "Overview Pressings". Record on offer shows Label Variation B.

Please note that Australian Please Please Me labels all include commas, where grammatically correct, in the following track titles:

     
• 1.7 Please, Please Me
     
• 2.1 Love Me, Do
     
• 2.3 Baby, It's You

But no matter which one of the seven variations of this STEREO first press: These are very rare and hard to obtain. Try to find on eBay, or discogs, etc., in particular  in such an excellent vinyl and labels condition. The only "flaw" regarding (all) Australian early-60s pressings are the covers, for they were not made of strong  cardboard but rather "slightly thicker paper". However, "rare" remains to be "rare", still.

Take your chance NOW - reasonable "Best Offers" welcome.

We understand that our asking price is everything but a bargain (across all of our listings). However, we kindly ask you to refrain  from sending "50-percent-offers". At beabay, we possess an in-depth knowledge of Beatles Vinyl, meaning our prices  have been carefully chosen and placed. Dozens of international collectors trust in this and confirmed their 100-percent-satisfaction - some of them we copied later in this listing.

Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.

SIMULTANEOUS RECORD SALES

Please note that we offer all of our records on different online platforms as well as thru home depot sales simultaneously.  We thereby reserve the right to cancel a listing without prior notice and/or justification, namely when a record has been sold and is no longer available.

Record Grading
    Visual Grading   Cover Front   G- Cover Back   G- Inner Sleeve(s)   [N/A]
(plain) Label Side A   EX+ Label Side B   NM Vinyl Side A   EX Vinyl Side B   EX-   Audio Grading   Side A   [N/A] Side B   [N/A]   We use superb vinyl equipment with its heart being an Ortofon real-diamond system and gold plated contacts all around.
If available, audible checks were performed with an ORTOFON Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier,  using a Sennheiser 350 headset.     Remarks   As for the Cover, Vinyl, optional additions and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after, which are legal part of this auction.

Non-laminated cover,  still glossy on front, however, defintely has seen better days. As most Australian early-60 covers it is not made of stronger(er) cardboard but rather thicker paper. Has seam split, cuts at insertion slot, a tear on upper right corner (front) as well as name "E.KRILL" written on.
  Spine is very thin, has the band name readable.
All these flaws are in-depth documented on pictures. We deliberately did not transparent-tape splits, for we think that is the collector's decision.

Both labels are absolutely clean.  No writings, stains, tears, or spots. NO spindle hole wear on neither side.

  Vinyl is shiny, both sides. Harilines, where  Side A looks slightly better than B-Side, which shows two scuffs on first track, which is why we apply a grading of EX-. This record has been  played very few times only.

NOT audio graded. We grade most, but not all of our records audible.

Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, REGARDING AUDIO, DIFFERENT SYSTEMS PRODUCE DIFFERENT SOUNDS. IN OUR LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE, THIS APPLIES TO ALL KINDS  AND TYPES OF AUDIBLE DISTORTIONS, SUCH AS NOISES, CLICKS, POPS, SKIPS, ETC. AUDIO GRADINGS HENCE  MAY BE CONSIDERED AN  ADD-ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
THUS WHEN MAKING A DECISION TO BUY, PLEASE BASE YOUR EVALUATION ON PHOTOS HEREIN AFTER PROVIDED,  AS WELL AS OUR DESCRIPTION OF A RECORD'S APPEARANCE, NAMELY ALL "VISUAL COMPONENTS".

1st Class Packaging

We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.

For packaging, we use brand-new material & items only. Whatever eBay MIGHT display: INSURED, SIGNED-IN, TRACKED SHIPPING IS FREE. ANY DESTINATION ON THIS PLANET.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)

• Grading  Every record has been carefully graded visually by ourselves. Most records are audio-graded, too. We grade NM/NM-, EX+/EX/EX-, VG+/VG/VG-.
• Shipping & Handling  is FREE, provided you live on planet earth.  To us, it doesn't matter where records find a new home, Paris, Tokyo, NYC, Melbourne.
• Dispatch Time  We usually prepare shipping immediately upon cleared payment. As a cushion space, however, shipping is guaranteed within 2 business days.
• Shipping Time  ...is something that we do not have any influence on, please keep that in mind when applying feedback. As a rule of thumb, times from registering with the  carrier until delivery at buyer's home may be as follows: Asia 7 thru 10 days. U.K. one week. U.S. 7 thru 10 days.  South America 10 thru 14 days. Europe 4 thru 7 days. Germany 24 thru 48 hours. However, please keep in mind that  these times are estimates only and may vary among different carriers.
• Payment  is expected within 48 hours after an auction's end, unless arranged differently prior to bidding. We accept PayPal or IBAN (SEPA) bank transfer only.

A Note On Returns / Return Policy

We are two (crazy?) regular average women (Ginger & Fleur Isabell) who love Beatles, thus collecting their records, we're no dealers.  We buy vinyl to acquire better copies of what we have already, then selling our second, third, fourth copies. We are classic collectors and hence describe and grade what we sell to our best knowledge, possessing a very high, sophisticated level of knowledge, in particular regarding European records.  

If -for whatever reason- our description doesn't turn out to be appropriate, like, for instance, a song skips or jumps, vinyl isn't flat as assured  -these types of "error"-, we certainly accept a return (at buyer's expense), for a collector's satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. That certainly happened  already. We know that nobody buys a record from us "just for fun". However, as a very basic rule, all of our sales are personal und final.

ALL WE TRY TO AVOID IS TO SEND RARE, VALUABLE VINYL AROUND THE GLOBE "IN VAIN", JUST TO SATISFY A PERSON'S CURIOSITY, FOR EVERY "ROUND-TRIP" IS A HUGE RISK EXPOSING THE RECORD.
