Description
THE BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PCS 3042 STEREO PRESSING
RELEASED NOVEMBER 1969
STAMPERS 2 OL 2 OL MATRICES -1 -1 "GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT
THIS IS A VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THE ONE BOX EMI WITH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL (SOON TO DISAPPEAR BECAUSE OF THE OIL CRISIS)
ORIGINAL STAMPER NUMBERS AND LETTERS ( AGAIN SOON TO DISAPPEAR IN FAVOUR OF ALL NUMBER STAMPERS)
THE ONE BOX PRESSING HAD A SHORT LIFE PRODUCED MAINLY FOR ABOUT TWELVE MONTHS TILL THE LIGHTER WEIGHT VINYL TWO BOX VERSION CAME INTO PLAY IN THE EARLY 1970's
RECORD SLEEVE HAS LAMINATED FRONT AND FOLDOVER SEAMS WITH SMALL 'STEREO' DESIGNATION ON THE FRONT ( LATER COPIES IT WAS DELETED COMPLETELY)
AND STILL CARRIES THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING" TEXT
THERE ARE TWO PRESSINGS OF THIS ONE BOX RELEASE ,FIRST HAS THE MAJORITY OF THE LABEL TRACK LISTING ON ONE LINE ,THE OTHER SPREADS OVER TO TWO LINES
THIS IS THE FIRST OPTION
RECORD SLEEVE I WOULD NORMALLY CLASS AS EXCELLENT BUT THEREIS A CREASE BOTTOM LEFT FRONT CORNER AND A SMALL HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAM EDGE ALTHOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT FROM THE FRONT OR THE BACK SO NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE
REAR INNER PANEL HAS A SMALL LIGHT STAIN IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER BUT ALL THE TEXT IS LEGIBLE
VINYL RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION GLOSSY SURFACES NO VISIBLE MARKS IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT AND AUDIO IS FIRST CLASS, DISTINCT AND CLEAR ,LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH VERY VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS SHOWING ( NOT SEEN MANY PLAYS OVER THE YEARS ),THE LATER 1960'S STEREO PRESSINGS REALLY DID PRODUCE EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY VERY IMPRESSIVE
RECORD COMES IN A LATE SIXTIES EMI PLAIN WHITE INNER IN CLEAN CONDITION
