The Beatles Please Please Me 3rd Press with EXTRA 33 1/3 STEREO PCS 3042

The Beatles Please Please Me 3rd Pressing with the extra little 33 1/3 near the center hole.

This is the "infamous" 3rd Press, or 1st Yellow & Black Parlophone Label.

These elusive labels are even rarer than the "Northern Songs" Golds, and for many years went unnoticed till very recently. You'll see 10 Gold Stereo's on eBay before 1 of these pop up.

This is a decent 3rd pressing with the 1 P / 1G  Mother Stampers and YEX94- 1 / YEX95-1 Stereo Matrix

Conservatively graded at VG-/EX-, this is very very hard to get in mint, and prices have varied from £3000 to £8000 for a real stunner.

There are superficial marks where the side 1 surface has been in contact with another record but amazingly this hasn't affected the sound at all with only a few faint clicks after "There's a place".

Included here is a recording of the vinyl.

Outer Sleeve is an early EJ Day Stereo cover in VG++ condition.

The 1G stamper is also very sort after as these are usually the property of the Stereo Gold.

Vinyl plays Near Mint with just a few light superficial scratches and a couple non sounding needle marks here and there with no sticks or jumps. Graded at Ex-

Priced at a conservative £2800 in the 2020 Rare Record Guide and at No.13 in the 200 all time rare records (Rare Record Price Guide/Mag 2012) just after the Stereo Golds!.

Comes complete with the correct Patents Pending EMITEX inner sleeve.
