Description
THE BEATLES...PLEASE PLEASE ME LP 1ST PRESS ON THE GOLD LABEL IS PRETTY MUCH THE 'HOLY GRAIL' FOR BEATLES RECORDS. ALREADY VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER AND WILL ONLY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND AS TIME GOES ON.
IN PERFECT CONDITION THIS LP SELLS FOR THOUSANDS OF POUNDS AND STILL GOES FOR HUNDREDS IN MOST CONDITIONS.
I AM STARTING MY LISTING AT JUST 0.99p FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT COLLECTORS KNOW ITS VALUE ANYWAY AND IT WILL SELL FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.
THIS IS A GENUINE VERY EARLY 1ST PRESS OF THE RECORD WITH THE DICK JAMES CREDITS (THE SECOND PRESS HAD THE NORTHERN SOUL CREDITS)
THE TAX CODE IS ZT WHICH INDICATES THAT THIS LP WAS CREATED BETWEEN APRIL 1962 AND NOVEMBER 1962 (THE EARLIEST PRODUCTION COPY)
IN ADDITION THE MOTHER/STAMPER CODE IS 1/O (SIDE 1), AND 1/M (SIDE 2) WHICH PUTS IT AMONG THE FIRST 1200 EVER MADE!!
THE MASTER MATRIX IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS XEX 421-1N / XEX422-1N
THE SLEEVE ART CREDIT FOR ANGUS MCBEAN IS ALIGNED WITH THE SECOND 'S' OF THE WORD SONGS DIRECTLY ABOVE IT THUS SHOWING THAT IT IS THE CORRECT SLEEVE FOR THIS LP.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO GENUINE AND ORIGINAL FOR THIS LP BEING THE 'EMITEX' SLEEVE WITH 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' AND 'PATENT APPLIED FOR'
CONDITION
SLEEVE. THE SLEEVE IS NOT IN GREAT SHAPE THOUGH NOT TO BAD CONSIDERING THE AGE. IT HAS HAD SOME LIQUID SPILLED ON IT AT SOME TIME...THIS HASNT RESULTED IN ANY DAMAGE TO THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE OF THE SLEEVE BUT HAS LEFT A STAIN ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE SLEEVE (LESS NOTICEABLE ON THE FRONT), OTHER GENERAL WEAR INCLUDES CORNER WEAR AND LAMINATE CREASING AROUND THE EDGES BUT DO NOT EXTEND FAR. THE SPINE IS GOOD (NO SPLITS OR SCUFFS) AND THE WORDS ARE STILL SHARP AND READABLE. THE BACK HAS TWO TAPE MARKS TO THE CORNERS (OLD) AND THE FOLDBACK FLAPS LOOK A BIT TATTY AT THE CORNERS.
SEE PICTURES
INNER SLEEVE. ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INTACT WITH SOME AGE RELATED DIS-COLOURING.
VINYL. THE VINYL IS THE USUAL CONDITION OF THESE FIRST PRESS MONO GOLD PARLOPHONE LABEL ISSUES.WHICH MEANS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED A LOT WITH A NUMBER OF MARKS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES BUT ALWAYS SEEMS TO PLAY THROUGH OK. A TRUE MONO THICK VINYL PRESSING IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION
RECORD LABEL. VERY GOOD WITH SURPRISINGLY LITTLE SPINDLE MARKING ON EITHER SIDE. THETEXT IS STILL CRISP AND EASY TO READ. NO WRITING SCRIBBLING OR SCUFFING.
I COMBINE ALL POSTAGE ON REQUEST AND WOULD APPRECIATE PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS I POST TRACKED FOR PEACE OF MIND.
ANY OVERSEAS BIDDERS ACCEPT THE INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE WILL BE HIGHER AND WILL BE TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR.
I PACKAGE ALL RECORDS CORRECTLY WITH THE INNER AND VINYL OUTSIDE THE SLEEVE AND WITH ADDED STIFFENERS. PLEASE ASK FOR COMBINED POSTAGE PRICES.
