Please Please Me is the debut studio album by the English rock band The Beatles. Parlophone rush-released the album on 22 March 1963 in the United Kingdom to capitalise on the success of the singles "Please Please Me" (No. 1 on most lists though only No. 2 on Record Retailer) and "Love Me Do" (No. 17).

Of the album's 14 songs, eight were written by Lennon–McCartney (originally credited "McCartney–Lennon"), early evidence of what Rolling Stone later called "[their invention of] the idea of the self-contained rock band, writing their own hits and playing their own instruments." In 2012, Please Please Me was voted 39th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Please Please Me vinyl lp. Vinyl is Excellent. The vinyl is glossy with a few light surface marks mostly on Side 2. There are a handful of adhoc pops during the 32 minutes of play which means that this lp is graded Excellent rather than a higher grade.

Garrod & Lofthouse flipback Sleeve is Very Good+. There is a name written in pen on rear bottom left. There are small brown marks on front and rear top edges and the usual edge and handling creases. The spine is fully legible. No spine splits. The inner is a white polylined 'Important..' paper inner sleeve which is in Excellent condition.

If you want me to add a MP3 to the listing please contact me.

This is indeed the same lp as I 'sold' a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately on that occasion the winning bidder cancelled so please do ensure you can complete before buying - thanks. 

Summary:- Excellent audio of this rare sought after stereo copy.

This has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki RCM FREE for the buyer.

Grading system used:-


Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.


Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.


Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.


Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.


Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.


Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or
defaced.


Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
