THE BEATLES - Please Please Me
Original UK Black & Gold Mono LP
Parlophone (PMC 1202)
UK original black & gold mono press in visually fair to poor condition, playback somewhat better.
The sleeve is in poor condition. It has split right along the top and bottom seam and lost the bottom flipback completely. Very dirty.
Matrix:
XEX 421-1N (1 O)
XEX 422-1N (1 R)
Both labels are in g+ to vg condition condition. There is heavy spindle wear and some wear around the edge of the labels. There is no writing.
Side one of the record is better than side two, but still just fair with no feelable marks but plenty of scuffs and lines. Playback though is far above grade. On a Technics deck with Stanton cartridge and Stanton connical stylus playback was really nice. Just some crackle between tracks and in the odd quiet part. No sticks, no jumps and i didn't hear any clicks either.
Side two is worse, more like poor to fair with just as many marks but also some feelable scratches, one of which goes across the whole record. Playback was generally similar to side one except with two jumps on "Do you want to know a secret" and a stick on "There's a place".
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.
All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
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.
