Description

PLEASE READ FIRST!

I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).

All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

THE BEATLES
PLEASE PLEASE ME
Mid to Late 60s Stereo Press!

On offer here is an original 60s stereo pressing of the Beatles debut LP 'Please Please Me'. This copy is on the original yellow / black Parlophone label and has the Sold in UK statement and Gramophone rimtext, dating this pressing from 1965-1969.

By this time fans were buying the latest Beatles album and this variation barely sold, meaning that it's now pretty difficult to find today!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

Title Please Please Me Year of Release 1965-1969 Catalogue Number PCS 3042 Label Yellow / Black Parlophone with Gramo rimtext and SIUK statement Tax Code on Disc KT Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod and Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number YEX 94-1 Side 2 Matrix Number YEX 95-1 Side 1 Stampers 1 / RP Side 2 Stampers 1 / RM Cover Condition The cover is in VG condition. The cover is holding up okay but is showing its age a little with light, general wear and tear. The front has a little laminate rubbing and some light creasing. Bottom seam has some light wear but has not split. Top seam is holding fine. Spine is fully legible with no damage. Back has discoloured a little - a little more noticeable at the mouth and spine sides due to handling. There is some tape scarring along the bottom - most of the tape has since dried and come away. Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition
(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in G+ condition. The disc has a a decent shine to it but has a fair amount of light scuffing and marks. Nothing nasty or serious looking, however. Label Condition The labels are in EX- condition. Clean labels with a rich colour and bright, silver text. There's some light spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole. Decent labels!


All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've

All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
