Beatles - 'Please Please Me'
Parlophone - PMC 1202 - UK 1963
Vinyl/Sleeve: VG+/VG+
Matrix: (a) XEX 421-1N TA 14 (embossed KT)
(b) XEX 422-1N TM 4
Vinyl: Very Good +
This record has been cleaned and play checked. It appears to be a 4th or 5th pressing (depending on where you get your information) from 1963. Playback is very good although it isn't without occasional tics. Side one is pretty much excellent but has some underlying tics in track three (Anna) which aren't particularly noticeable. Side two has some tics during track four (Do You Want To Know A Secret) and some in the interval, but by the next track, they're gone. The playing surface has several obvious lines and scuffs but none are feelable. If I was grading purely on visual I'd probably grade as VG but as the audio quality is excellent at times, I've upped the grade.
Sleeve: Very Good +
The Ernest J. Day front laminated sleeve is in nice condition. It has hardly any edge wear and no feathering of the sleeve opening. There's a touch of wrinkling in the laminate but nothing severe and just the lightest sign of rubbing - no ring wear. The spine is undamaged and solid as is the sleeve in general. The back flipbacks appear to have been re-glued at some point. They look like they're lifting up in the pictures but they're not, it's just an illusion created by the crease when they've been glued down. The non-laminated back of the sleeve is nice insofar as it doesn't have any grubbiness, there is however a small retailer's sticker on the back. The polythene lined Emitex inner sleeve is in excellent condition with no splits.
Side One: I Saw Her Standing There / Misery / Anna (Go To Him) / Chains / Boys / Ask Me Why / Please Please Me
Side Two: Love Me Do /P.S. I Love You / Baby It's You / Do You Want To Know A Secret / A Taste Of Honey / There's A Place / Twist And Shout
Combined postage offered to UK destinations ONLY. I'll send an invoice if you've bought more than one record.
A few words on Vinyl Grades.........
My vinyl grades are pretty much in line with those commonly used here on eBay and other specialist vinyl sites. The descriptions I provide are of equal significance as they will include any details I would consider useful to know when deciding whether to purchase a vinyl record. I normally examine a record’s playing surface in more than one daylight condition, this is because the lighting at different times of day tend to reveal details that might not be noticeable at other times of day. For example, bright angled morning light shining through a window will reveal a multitude of fine lines and dust that are often superficial, and these can distract from significant surface imperfections which might be more noticeable later in the day. Sleeve grades shouldn't really require an explanation, needless to say, the photos and descriptions should speak for themselves.
Mint (M) : Never played, and the only way you can be fairly confident that it hasn’t been played, is if the record is still sealed (and that’s not foolproof).
Near Mint (NM) : A record that shows hardly any evidence of being played – both in appearance and sound quality.
Excellent (EX) : A record that may have minor surface marks and/or minimal surface noise or tics.
Very Good + (VG+) : The record will be close to excellent but may have some distinct marks or hairlines that may even be feelable - but not to excess. Sound quality may be slightly impaired with light surface noise/crackle or tics.
Very Good (VG) : The record will have several marks or scratches, and/or sound quality that isn’t that great
Good+ (G+) : This will be a record that has many surface marks or scratches and poor sound quality. I wouldn’t normally sell anything that would grade below this (ie ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’). Anything below this grade would probably have skips and I rarely sell records that have skips.
