THE BEATLES :- Please Please Me - 1963 UK Parlophone PMC 1202 MONO LP with E J Day Sleeve , complete with Original polylined Emitex Liner Sleeve

A very interesting label variation :-

After the initial run of the 'Gold / Black' label Please Please Me in early 1963 , EMI decided on a 'new look' label design - i.e. Yellow and Black .............. The initial runs of the 'new look' label design used the same type set as the Gold / Black variation for the lower half of the label , which omitted the 'Recording First Published' print - to the left of the label (beneath the matrix numbers) , but still included the small 331/3 print (to the right of the matrix numbers) This anomaly was noticed , and the small 331/3 print was removed from the type set ( remember the 331/3 was already in the large print - above the yellow Parlophone logo ) ............ a very small amount of labels were produced omitting the small 331/3 and omitting 'Recording First Published 1963' ............. until the labels were finally issued with 'Recording First Published 1963' added

So there was the 'First' Issue Yellow / Black label with the small 331/3 and without 'Recording First Published 1963'

Then the 'Second' Issue Yellow / Black without the small 331/3 and without 'Recording First Published 1963'

Well , here is a copy of the album which has No 331/3 on Side One , but with 331/3 on Side Two !!

I add new listings most days ....... Please take a look

I usually start auctions at a low price to generate interest in bidding

All items are graded Audio / Visually , and played on a high grade system

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I understand the requirements in the gradings of discs and sleeves , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised

I grade items ( using the UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as STUNNING !! RARE !! AWESOME !! , padded out with grossly long winded 'descriptions' ..... Many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and does not correspond with the actual facts , and would be laughable but for the fact it is totally misleading. I take time and care to graded items correctly , and only list quality records , with concise , accurate grading descriptions

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest !) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists 'live' ( I saw The Beatles twice and Segovia !)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell (and always learning !) having bought copies of my own at time of issue , always being interested in the sleeve , label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to answer correctly

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount are from repeat buyers ( many thanks !) .... and in the event of genuine complaints will remedy the situation as soon as possible
