VERY FIRST PRESSING!!!!!

Love Me Do

P.S I Love You

The record has some very light surface marks and some very light paper scuffs.Both labels are quite clean considering its age but they do show signs of spindle marks. Will grade very good condition. 

The company sleeve has creasing to all four corners(more to the bottom two corners). There is someone's name(Sandy) written in pen under the word Parlophone. Also it says Love Me Do at the side(again in pen), and there's also number 949 written in pen on the top left corner(you may be able to see the writings in the picture). There is a 1cm tear on the back cover near the center hole and there is also some yellowing and stains(see picture. No splits. Will grade very good condition.

AFTER INVESTIGATING FURTHER, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS BEATLES RECORD IS A VERY VERY FIRST PRESSING, PRESSED DURING THE FIRST WEEKS OF RELEASE!!!!!!!!
