THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME b/w ASK ME WHY" RELEASED 11th JANUARY 1963
THE VERY FIRST BLACK AND SILVER LABELS PRESSING WITH 1 STAMPERS TO BOTH SIDES AND AN MZT TAX CODE
PARLOPHONE 45-R 4983
STAMPERS 1 RD 1 T MATRICES -1N -1N MZT TAX CODE SJDE 2 CENTRE
AS MOST COLLECTORS ARE AWARE THE VERY FIRST RELEASES OF THIS PRESSING WERE ON THE ICONIC RED AND SILVER LABELS AND WERE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME AS THEY WERE DELETED TOWARDS THE END OF JANUARY SO PROBABLY ONLY AVAILABLE FROM THE PRESSING PLANT FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS
THE FIRST BLACK AND SILVER LABEL PRESSINGS WERE THEN INTRODUCED PROBABLY IN THE SAME MONTH OF JANUARY AT THE VERY END
THIS COPY BEING ONE OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE PRESSINGS WITH 1 STAMPERS TO BOTH SIDES
VINYL RECORD STILL HAS A DEEP GLOSSY SHINE TO THE SURFACES ,SIDE 1 DOES SHOW A LIGHT MARK IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT ,NOT FEELABLE IN MY ESTIMATION AND PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO PROBLEM
SIDE 2 APPEARS CLEAN IN SIMILAR NORMAL DAYLIGHT
RECORD LABLES ARE CLEAN AND LEGIBLE ONE TINY MARK ON SIDE 1 CENTRE HOLE IS UNWORN ,SIDE 2 HAS A CRIMPED CENTRE TO THE LABLE FROM THE PRESSING PROCESS AND AGAIN CENTREHOLE IS UNWORN
ANY SPINDLE MARKS ARE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES SLIGHTLY MORE TO SIDE 2 THAN SIDE 1
A TEST PLAY OF THE RECORD ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM PRODUCED QUIET RUN INS AND CLEAN AUDIO
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS RECORD IS NOW 62 YEARS OLD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON A DANSETTE OR SIMILAR ,SO YOUR TOP END HI-FI WILL PRODUCE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
RECORD COMES IN A TYPE 1 SLEEVE BUT I THINK ITS A MORE RECENT COPY
