This is a sought-after early UK mono pressing of Please Please Me, The Beatles’ historic debut album released in 1963 on Parlophone. What makes this copy especially collectible is its rare mix of publishing credits: some tracks credit Dick James Music Co., while others credit Northern Songs, reflecting a transitional phase in The Beatles’ publishing rights early in their career.

Play-Graded on a Rega 2 turntable with Carbon cartridge: The record sounds like an EX with only three audible clicks during songs. Most of the noise was in the inside dead wax, with surprisingly little between songs.
A fantastic and historically rich collector’s piece that captures The Beatles at the dawn of Beatlemania — with label variations that reflect their meteoric rise and evolving business structure.
📦 Carefully packed and shipped with tracking
🕵️♂️ Great for collectors of UK Beatles vinyl and label variants
