THE BEATLES - Please Please Me

Original UK LP

 Parlophone PMC 1202

  UK original on the black and gold Parlophone label. Pretty worn copy but it is a first pressing with Dick James credits that plays through.

The sleeve is in g condition but we didn't want to replace it as it is a correct early EJ Day sleeve with the Angus McBean credit further over to the right & closer to the bottom of the front sleeve. There is lots of tape residue, general wear and writing on the rear. However, it is still in one piece. It could be relaced for framing with a later yellow & black version sleeve.

Comes with a correct poly lined Emitex inner sleeve in excellent condition.

The labels are in vg condition. There is spindle wear, some scratches, some colouring to the bottom of the Parlophone logo and a name written on both labels. The name is hard to see as it is written in black pen.

Matrix:

XEX 421-1N (1 O)

XEX 422-1N (1 M)

The record is in G condition. There are lots of scuffs,  lines and just a few feelable scratches. There is also a light warp. It plays all the way through but with a lot of crackle & some pops and clicks especially through one of the small scratches. However, there are no jumps and no sticks.

Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
