Description
An original 3rd press of PPM on the UK Parlopohone label. Matrix 1N/1N. Stampers 1-RL/2-AR [very early]. Remember these 3rd pressings were amongst the first of the new 'Black & Yellow' label variety and come immediately after the super-collectable earliest 'Black & Gold' copies. Just a quick qualification...3rd press does not hold the 'Sold In The UK..' statement or the 'Recording 1st published' statement - and are most certainly from the 1st half of 1963! The heavy set [and boy they were heavy early on!] vinyl comes housed in the original Ernest J Day - 'Gold Cover'. Let me explain...the very 1st Black & Gold copies came in an E J Day sleeve with the McBean publishing credit beginning after the final letter 'S' of the '... 12 Other songS'. It's now known that some of these very early 1st issue covers made it through to the production line for the early 'yellow and black' copies. Also included is the original Emitex inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In great condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks either side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are practically silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity... What's not to like? It's a corker!! The audio powers through, but has poise and control. Interference is very minor and infrequent. All we could detect were a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments. I mean it really is clean audio straight outta '63...GREAT!
Cover (Ex) In very very nice condition and let me tell you that original GOLD covers do not turn up looking like this very often. Lovely clean front with a surface level crease in the bottom left corner and top left corner. The front is very nice and flat and shiny. The rear, which is usually the problem area, is actually in particularly tidy condition. Only lightest ageing just noticeable around opening. Slight wear visible to bottom flipback, but all flipbacks are totally secured and locked down. Edge wear is very light for this title. The spine is almost entirely intact with one very minute knock. Overall the cover retains superb rigidity...For a true 1st Gold Cover...it is to say the least a humdinger....
Emitex (Vg) A bit aged with one side split [2 inch].
