Description
PLEASE PLEASE ME
EARLY 1 RO / 1 RG STAMPERS
CAT. NO PMC 1202
Format: Mono
Master Matrices XEX 421-1N/ XEX 422-1N
This is a very early copy of Please Please Me.
Due to the 1RO and 1RG Mother and Stamper combination, this places this as one of the first few batches off the pressing machines on a similar standing to some Black and Gold’s. The labels are early, not yet displaying the ‘Recording First Published 1963’ text.
Sleeve: Original sleeve in at least Very Good condition retaining its structure. No record ring-wear, and clean with no imprints. Has a repaired split with a small piece of clear tape in the middle of the top edge. Otherwise all edges are completely intact. The laminate is still remarkably glossy displaying an early print of the Fab Four at EMI house in a dark contrast as found on early sleeves. The spine is completely intact and has readable text, and the opening side is completely flat.
Inner Sleeve: Original EMI inner sleeve. Retains full structure. Has the ‘Made in England’ text. This is early thick card material as opposed to the thinner paper material. Very Good Plus condition with some slight age discolouration. Completely intact.
The Vinyl: In Very Good Minus Condition. The surfaces are smooth and look groove wear free, an unblemished pressing shine on both sides. Has signs of being played, but with smooth clean shiny surfaces with no feelable scratches, scuffs, warps or dinks. Has light hairlines scattered across all of both sides but none at all feelable. The item has received fair use but has not been handled badly.
Lays completely flat on the turntable, heavyweight early Sixties vinyl.
The Labels: Very Good condition. Some visible wear to the spindle perimeter, and some light spindle location lines/ marks.
Earliest possible ZT embossed tax code for Please Please Me on side 2
Mothers/ Stampers combinations:
Side 1 - 1 RO
Side 2 - 1 RG
The Audio: A Very Good Plus sounding copy. Plays smoothly from start to finish on each side with immense detail and perfect mono channeling. This isn’t a surface-noise free player, but it is quite remarkable how well it has lasted all these decades, with no interruption or defects of any kind over the audio. There is only what you would expect to be noticeable - some ticks here and there in the quieter parts and in the inbetween track changes, but on the whole a neat sounding copy that is guaranteed not to disappoint. No crackle, jumps, skips, pops, or sticks.
