Please Please Me
Rare 3rd Pressing No "Recording First Published Label Text"
Original 1963 UK Mono Press on the Parlophone Label
PMC 1202
Rare ZT Tax Stamp
E J Day Triple Flipback Sleeve
"The Parlophone Co.Ltd" Label Text
12" 33 rpm Mono Vinyl Record
Inner Matrix: XEX 421 - 1N / XEX 422 - 1N
A very rare 1963 UK pressed vinyl (No "recording first published" label credit) complete in original E J Day triple flipback sleeve and original "Emitex" Inner with very rare ZT Tax Stamp. The Mother Stamper / Matrix numbers are 2 MM / 1 MD this along with the rare ZT Tax code in my calculations makes this one of the first 12,000 to 15,000 pressings of the 500,000 pressings completed of this iconic debut album which remained No1 in the UK for 30 consecutive weeks. The vinyl has visual markings and there are a couple of very light skips on the intro to side 1 with a jump half way through side 2. There is occasional noise throughout but the sound dynamics remain good. The sleeve is well worn and damaged but useable but is the original (so many have been replaced) with the large Mono and with the correct Angus McBean photo credit. Due to the quality of both vinyl and sleeve this has been taken into account in the price, so please do not expect this to be Mint!!!

Grading Criteria based on others found online:
Mint (M) has never been played sleeve looks like new (will only use this if I know it’s never been played)
Near Mint (NM) minimal signs of play on the record the sleeve will have minor wear only maybe slight ring wear but artwork will look very crisp labels will have minor signs of play if any
Excellent (EX) some signs of play may be a light scratch but this will not affect play in any way, the sleeve may have signs of wear but no more than three minor faults no ink should be present Labels will be free from ink may have some spindle marks
Very Good Plus (VG+) more obvious signs of play, again there should be little or no effect on play might be noise on track changes but dynamics will be unaffected, sleeve may have some tearing to edges but artwork must remain crisp no more than three major faults or six minor no ink Labels may have more signs of play and wear
Very Good (VG) as above but record may show even more noise on play may have scratches which effect play still should play through sleeve and labels may have ink present
Good (G) Play will definitely be effected by the condition of this record but it is still usable sleeve will have lots of wear and tear
Poor (P) unplayable collection filler only Art work will be torn damages and or flaky
