General Description Within days after the German, Please Please Me, "Version" had been published (»Die zentrale Tanzschaffe der weltberühmten Vier aus Liverpool«, HoerZu Electrola HZE 117, mono, SHZE 117, stereo, a special version was released with the original cover for retail sale at Army stores of American & British allied forces only, in order to satisfy the demand of the huge number of soldiers deployed all over (West) Germany and West Berlin at the time being. This pressing is very rare. The record up for auction here is a very nice copy that earns an overall grading of EX, rangining between EX- and EX+. CONDITION Disc Labels: VERY GOOD + A bright white set with some marks around the centre hole but no writing or missing paper. Visual: VERY GOOD Clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces with a nice gloss factory shine with a few hairline scratches, but nothing deep that causes skipping. Sound Quality: VERY GOOD - This copy has been played many times but apart from a small handful of clicks there are no other significant or major audible faults. Cover: VERY GOOD - SEE PHOTOS AS PART OF DESCRIPTION No original inner sleeve.
