THE BEATLES LOVE ME DO ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS RED LABEL 45

	£		64
	$		85

HI THERE AND WELCOME TO ALLADINS CABIN!!

ON OFFER TODAY IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE RELEASE ON THE RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL. THIS IS THE TRUE ORIGINAL PRESSING WHERE RINGO PLAYS THE DRUMS TO A SLOWER TEMPO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO". THE LATER (-2N) MATRIXED VERSION HAD ANDY WHITE PLAYING THE DRUMS AND RINGO PLAYING THE TAMBOURINE.

 THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 45-R 4949 WITH "ARDMORE AND BEECHWOOD LTD." ON BOTH LABELS.

 IN ADDITION, THE LABELS ALSO CARRY "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962" AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN". SIDE 2 HAS "PT" ACROSS THE SPINDLE HOLE.

BOTH LABELS HAVE PERFECT TEXT. EACH FONT CLEARLY STANDS OUT FOR PERFECT READING CLARITY.

THERE ARE VERY, VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS ONLY A MINOR AMOUNT OF FADING TO THE LABELS AND VERY MINIMAL SPIDER TRACES TO BOTH SPINDLE HOLE AREAS.

THE MATRIX ON THE RUN OFF GROOVE OF BOTH SIDES STATE:

SIDE 1:

1 RR  MATRIX

RR                          IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSTION.

7XCE 17144 -1N        IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION

MPZT (1)               IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION.

SIDE 2:

1 RG MATRIX

RG                          IN THE 3 O'CLOCK POSITION

7XCE 17145 -1N        IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION

MPZT (1)                IN THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION

THIS REALLY IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE.

THE VINYL ON BOTH SIDES SHINE WITHOUT ANY MAJOR SCRATCHES TO THEIR SURFACE. THE PICTURES CLEARLY PRESENT THE VINYL CONDITION AS IT IS. THERE ARE VERY FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES AND WOULD NEVER EXPRESS THEM TO BE EVEN MODERATE. THE SHINE OF THE VINYL IS DEEP BLACK AND PRESENTS A "MIRRORED" SHINE.

IN ITS ENTIRETY, THE VINYL IS NOT  DULLED OR FADED BY SURFACE GRIME OR EXCESSIVE LIGHT HAIRLINES.

AN EASY REPRESENTATION OF THE VINYL CONDITION IS THE PLAYBACK QUALITY.

WHEN PLAYED, THE SOUND REPRODUCED IS FANTASTIC IN CLARITY. THROUGHOUT THE MOODY MONO VERSION OF "LOVE ME DO", THERE ARE VERY LOW SURFACE CRACKLES AUDIBLY REGISTERED. THERE ARE LOW LEVELS OF SURFACE NOISE, BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO MAJOR CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS. EVERYTHING IS CLEAR TO THE EAR, RATHER THAN DISTORTED LIKE MOST EARLY EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE PRESSING.

THE TRACK "P.S. I LOVE YOU" IS ALSO GREAT IN CLARITY. THE VERY FEW HAIRLINES DO NOT DISTORT THE SUPERB PLAYBACK IN ANY MAJOR WAY. AGAIN, THE MONO BRILLIANCE IS REPRESENTED WITH ONLY VERY LOW SURFACE NOISE. CRISP WITH LOW WHISP.

THE ORIGINAL E.M.I. PARLOPHONE SLEEVE IS CLEAN WITH NO SEAM SPLITS OR EXCESSIVE CREASING. THERE IS SLIGHT WEAR TO THE UPPER CORNERS OF THE FRONT SLEEVE, HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT  UNDERMINE THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS WONDERFUL EARLY REPRESENTATION OF THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE ON THE RED AND SILVER PARLOPHONE LABEL.

WE WISH YOU LOOK ON THIS GREAT EXAMPLE OF BEATLES HISTORY.
