THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME" PARLOPHONE PCS 3042 UK STEREO 1969 LAST BLACK AND YELLOW LABEL PRESSING
STAMPERS 2 MA 1 MG MATRICES -1 -1
"GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT WITH NO "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" AND NO "SOLD IN THE UK" LABEL TEXT
THIS IS THE VERY LAST YELLOW AND BLACK LABEL STEREO PRESSING FROM THE 1960's AND WAS ONLY PRODUCED BETWEEN JANUARY 1969 AND JUNE 1969 A TOTAL OF SIX MONTHS THEN THE NEW LABEL DESIGNED 1 BOX PRESSING WAS INTRODUCED
LAMINATED FRONT RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SOME VERY LIGHT CREASING AROUND THE EDGES AND VERY LIGHT CORNER BUMPS WITH A SMALL CREASE TOP RIGHT AND A CLEAN OPENING EDGE AND AN UNCRUSHED SEAM
"ANGUS McBEAN" PICTURE CREDIT HAS LETTER 'A' UNDER LETTER "S' FROM SONGS
SLEEVE REAR HAS A CLEAN WHITE INNER PANEL WITH THREE UNBROKEN FOLDOVER SEAMS WITH A 'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING' CREDIT ON BOTTOM SEAM
THERE IS A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL MARK AT THE TOP BY THE SEAM AND A PEN MARK BUT NONE OF THIS IMPACTS ON THE TEXT
INNER SLEEVE IS THE LATE 1960's ADVERTISING VERSION THERE WERE TWO ONE GREY ONE RED ,RED WAS FOR 1968 ONWARDS AND CARRIES THE ADVERT FOR 'SGT PEPPER' ,
VINYL RECORD SURFACES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BRIGHT AND GLOSSY BUT WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME ( CLOSING IN ON 52 YEARS ) HAS PICKED UP SOME LIGHT HANDLING/NEEDLE MARKS NOTHING FEELABLE ,THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT POPS ON SIDE 2 BUT THE ALBUM GENERALLY COMES WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES AND IS A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TOO
BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE ALSO IN LEGIBLE CONDITION THE CENTRE HOLE IS EXCELLENT CLEAN AND DEFINED WITH NO WEAR AT ALL
THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS MAINLY TRAILS ACROSS THE LABEL BUT ONLY REALLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT ( I THINK SOMEBODY STRUGGLED TO FIND THE SPINDLE HOLE )
THERE IS HOWEVER A COUPLE OF INITIALS ON SIDE 2 IN THE CENTRE (COMMON PRACTICE IN THE SIXTIES UNFORTUNATELY FOR OWNERSHIP PURPOSES AT PARTIES) IN BLACK ON A BLACK LABEL AND IN THE YELLOW £ TRADEMARK
WE HAVE PLAY TESTED THE RECORD ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW PURPOSES
