Description
"Please Please Me" Parlophone PMC 1202 Mono
This original record is my own copy bought by me when released in 1963. Although I am not a collector nor dealer I recognise this is a record that seems to get collectors everywhere excited.
Distinguishing features include:-
Black and Gold Label
Ernest J. Day Sleeve
Angus McBean Photo Credits
Dick James Credits
Run Off XEX 421-1N/422-1N
Original Emitex Inner Sleeve
In an attempt to describe the record I have used the Record Collector's grading model for guidance. I would describe the record as almost perfect with just one or two faint marks (not scratches) visable when held under bright sunlight. I consider somewhere between "excellent -" and "excellent" to be a more than fair description.
The laminated flipback sleeve is in very sound condition, certainly better than most I've seen advertised during the last few months. There is evidence of some shelf wear around the edges,mainly at the corners, and a small (1 sq in.) faint stain visable on the bottom reverse left hand corner.The spine is excellent with no wear to the lettering whatsoever. There is a little rippling of the laminate at the front bottom edge but it is not torn. Otherwise the sleeve is clean,solid,untorn,unmarked and in excellent condition.
The Emitex sleeve is excellent; clean,unmarked with no tears and just some creasing through use.
I am very confident in the quality of this record and have not placed a reserve on it. I played it today, for the first time in probably about 40 years or so, and it sounded fantastic,better than I can ever remember, probably because I've got some decent equipment now. I am pretty new to Ebay and have only just started selling off some of my long held possessions including the more interesting of my record collection. Please check my feedback to date.
This is an opportunity to aquire an all-time classic which will continue to appreciate in value.
