Description
FOR AUCTION IS THIS VERY RARE 1ST PARLOPHONE PRESSING OF THE BEATLES 2ND RELEASE "PLEASE PLEASE ME/ ASK ME WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ACCORDING TO SOME CHARTS,THIS WAS THE BEATLES FIRST NUMBER ONE!!!!!!
WHEN THIS WAS FIRST RELEASED IN EARLY 1963, PARLOPHONE WERE CHANGING THE LABELS OF THEIR SINGLES FROM THE RED TO THE MORE COMMON BLACK LABELS,THIS MEANS THAT THE 2ND PRESSING BLACK LABELS OF THIS SINGLE ARE MUCH MORE COMMON MAKING THIS PRESSING EXTREMELY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER, IN FACT, IT IS EASIER TO GET HOLD OF THE RARE 1ST PRESS "LOVE ME DO" SINGLE THAN THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS PRESSING HAS THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS WHICH SHOW IT IS A DEFINATE 1ST PRESSING [ AND NOT THE 1982 PRETENDER!!!!!!!!!!]:
SIDE 1> PLEASE PLEASE ME [ 45-R 4983]. NO "MADE IN GT.BRITAIN" ON THE LABEL. MATRIX NUMBER 7XCL 17217-1N. STAMPERS [MPT 1] AND [G.G]. NICE CLEAN ORIGINAL LABEL WITH THE OWNERS NAME WRITTEN ON.THE VINYL IS THE BEST THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS FOR THIS RECORD,IT HAS A LOVELY GLOSS AND THE VERY LIGHTEST OF SCUFFS,IT RATES ABOUT EXCELLENT!!!!
APART FROM THE ODD BIT OF STATIC,THE PLAYBACK ON THIS SIDE IS SUPERB!!!!
SIDE 2> ASK ME WHY [ 45-R 4983] NO " MADE IN GT.BRITAIN" ON THE LABEL. MATRIX NUMBER 7XCE 17218-1N. STAMPERS [ MPT 1] AND [T].NICE CLEAN ORIGINAL B SIDE LABEL WITH SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR. THE VINYL AGAIN HAS A WONDERFUL GLOSS AND WOULD RATE THE SAME AS THE A SIDE BUT FOR 3 FEELABLE SCRATCHES.THIS AFFECTS THE PLAYBACK WHEN THE STYLUS GOES OVER THESE MARKS [ LIGHT "POPPING"] BUT OTHER THAN THAT,THE PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT. I WOULD GRADE THIS SIDE AS VERY GOOD.
THE RECORD COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT PARLOPHONE "DIAMONDS" SLEEVE WHICH IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH SOME CREASES/ LIGHT FOLDS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SINGLE IS HOUSED IN A SEPARATE WHITE SLEEVE TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE AND THIS IN TURN,IS PLACED WITHIN A POLY SLEEVE TO KEEP THE RECORD IN TOP CONDITION.
ANY QUESTIONS? PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME BUT ALSO EXAMINE THE DETAILED PHOTO,S WITH THIS LISTING.
PLEASE PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS. NO PAYPAL!! PAYMENT BY POSTAL ORDER OR THE SLOWER MEDIUM OF U.K CHEQUE [ PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 5 WORKING DAYS TO CLEAR].
