ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING THE BEATLES,DUE TO A DAUGHTER AT UNIVERSITY AND THE NEED TO STREAMLINE MY COLLECTION, I AM GRADUALLY SELLING OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS SOME OF THE MANY DIFFERENT COPIES I HAVE FOUND OF THE BEATLES AND RELATED ARTISTS ALBUMS,SINGLES AND OTHER FORMAT ITEMS. BEING A WELL KNOWN COLLECTOR AND DEALER YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE SOME AMAZING AND IN SOME CASES VERY HARD TO FIND GEMS-ALL WITH CAREFUL GRADINGS AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION!

  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1963 1ST EMI BLACK LABEL PRESSING OF THE BAND'S ALL TIME CLASSIC SINGLE:"PLEASE PLEASE ME" IN SUPER CONDITION HAVING A VERY UNUSUAL "P T" TAX CODE ON THE "A" SIDE PUSH OUT CENTRE-MOST USED WERE K T AS WELL AS HAVING THE "45"PREFIX IN FRONT OF THE CATALOGUE NUMBER THAT WAS DROPPED WITHIN WEEKS OF THIS SINGLE BEING ISSUED-RETAINED TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH 78s ALTHOUGH THE LAST UK PARLOPHONE 78 WAS ISSUED IN 1960! THERE ARE ALSO THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES!  HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT COVER WITH THE CIRCULAR PARLOPHONE LOGO AND EMI'S OWN PRODUCTS ADVERTS ON THE BACK THAT WAS USED ONLY ON MOST PARLOPHONE SINGLES MADE THROUGHOUT 1963 AND EARLY 1964 BEFORE LATER DESIGNS WERE BEING USED SUCH AS MINOR'S MAKE UP AND"FRAN THE FAN".       THIS ORIGINAL AND CORRECT PARLOPHONE COMPANY COVER  IS VERY CLEAN WITH VERY SHARP,VIBRANT PRINT-THERE ARE SOME TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS WITH VERY SHARP AND VIBRANT PRINT-THE COVER ON IT'S OWN IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT!    THE DISC ITSELF HAVING NO"SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT PRINTED ON 45s FROM 1964 ONWARDS! PARLOPHONE 45-R 4983. THERE IS THE MUCH SMALLER SIZED PRINTING FONTS ESPECIALLY ON THE PUSH OUT CENTRES "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT NOT ON LATER SINGLES! THERE IS ALSO THE RAISED PRINT K T TAX CODE ON THE "A" SIDE PUSH OUT CENTRE-USUALLY ON THE "B" SIDE LABELS FOR MOST 45s OF THE ERA!

THE PUSH OUT CENTRE FULLY INTACT WITH SHARP,CLEAR PRINT AND HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR! A SUPERB COPY!.

JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES AND TRY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE!  THE"B"SIDE IS OF COURSE:"ASK ME WHY" SOUNDING MAGNIFICENT IN IT'S POWERFUL AND BASS FILLED MONO MIX! THE VOCALS LEAP OUT OF THE SPEAKERS WITH EQUAL EXCITEMENT THAT IS LACKING ON THE STEREO VERSIONS!  THE"A"SIDE SOUNDS GREAT IN MONO TOO.  THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE AND SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS AND A LITTLE CRACKLE AT HIGH VOLUME BUT FAR,FAR LESS THAN MOST COPIES AROUND AND IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE FOUND OF THIS 45! THERE ARE A FEW VERY FAINT AND LIGHT,HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE IN STRONG LIGHT.SERIOUS AND STRICT GRADING NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION MANY WOULD STATE EXCELLENT.

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
