Description
I recently found this LP amongst many in my loft, and have finally decided to part with it, although it's been a comforting thought to know I owned a gold label Please Please Me for this many years.
As I hope I have shown in the photographs, this is a very rare 'crossover' pressing gold label Mono copy of the LP PMC1202.
Pressed in April 1963 only, Side one has the corrected Northern Songs publishing credits,whilst Side two still retains the credits to 'Dick James Mus. Co'.
The label on side one has M and T either side of the spindle hole.
The cover has not worn amazingly well, but the front cover is in pretty decent order,still retaining a dull shine and with a couple small creases in the bottom left and along the right edge.
The back cover is a little more worn, with yellow sellotape along both top and bottom edges and a few age blemishes. All still readable though, and with no writing. There is a repaired tear along the top edge of the cover (see photo).
Printed by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London
The original inner sleeve is unmarked but a little creased.
The LP itself is scattered with light scratches and a scuff on side one, but I have had it on my turntable and the entire album played surprisingly well with no jumps, just some clicks and pops between tracks and a little crackle.
The stamping on the inner grooves reads 1XEX421-1N and 422-1N on sides one and two respectively. (See photo).
Please feel free to ask any further questions!
