                                                                                          BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" 

            

ORIGINAL 1963 UK BLACK AND GOLD UK MONO 1ST PRESSING.

RELEASED MARCH 22 1963 "PLEASE PLEASE ME" WAS THE BEATLES FIRST UK ALBUM RELEASE.

THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BLACK AND GOLD MONO, THE FIRST VERSION INCORRECTLY CREDITS FOUR TITLES TO DICK JAMES MUSIC COMPANY ON THE CORRECTED ISSUES THIS WAS CHANGED TO NORTHERN SONGS....

THE LABEL SWITCH OCCURRED BECAUSE NORTHERN SONGS WAS FORMED MIDWAY THROUGH EMI'S FIRST PRINT RUN OF THE LABELS. SHORTLY BEFORE THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED DICK JAMES INFORMED EMI THAT THE FOUR TITLES IN QUESTION WOULD NO LONGER BE PUBLISHED BY HIS COMPANY BUT BY NORTHERN SONGS. EMI THEN PRESSED ANOTHER, SMALL BATCH OF LABELS WITH THE UPDATED COPTRIGHT DETAILS. AS THE FIRST PRESSINGS WERE ALREADY IN THE WAREHOUSES AWAITING RELEASE BOTH VERSIONS ENDED UP BEING ISSUED TO THE SHOPS.

THIS COPY IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING VERSION WITH THE INCORRECT "DICK JAMES" LABELS

PMC  1202

XEX 421/2-1N-1N

STAMPERS    RG 2  GL 2

THE BLACK AND GOLD "DICK JAMES" LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS JUST MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE BUT NO SPINDLE WEAR. THIS DESIRABLE SET OF "GOLD" LABELS STILL RETAIN THEIR BRIGHT AND STRIKING APPEARANCE. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN  AND FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C.  ALL THE GOLD LETTERING IS STILL CRISP AND VIVID AND FREE FROM RUBBING E.T.C.

 THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS EXCELLENT, THIS HAS OF COURSE BEEN PLAYED  AND THEREFORE THE VINYL DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT AND WISPY, HANDLING SURFACE MARKS AND SOME   NEEDLE MARKS, MORE TO SIDE TWO THAN SIDE ONE, NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE OR REALLY SEVERE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LIGHT HANDLING "SCUFF LIKE MARK TO TO SIDE ONE, THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO FAULTS OR BLEMISHES WHATSOEVER. 

THE AUDIO IS SUPERB... THERE WAS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE EVIDENT TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT OTHER THAN THIS AUDIO IS CLEAN AND CLEAR AND PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS OF POPS....  

THE ORIGINAL, THICK EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB, IT HAS SOME LIGHT BUT EXPECTED CREASES BUT IS STILL CRISP AND VERY VERY WHITE, IT IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.

THE OUTER E.J DAY SLEEVE  IS EXCELLENT. THE FRONT IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES AND A FEW "RIPPLE" TYPE CREASES. THERE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LIGHT WATER STAIN TO THE OPENING EDGE BUT THIS IS NOT OVERLY OFFENSIVE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH JUST A HINT OF WEAR EVIDENT AND THERE IS ALSO SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR VISIBLE TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BUT AGAIN THIS IS NOT SEVERE. THERE ARE LIGHT CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. THE REAR IS STILL VERY VERY BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH JUST A FEW MILD HANDLING MARKS AND A SMALL STAIN TYPE MARK  TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER. ALL THREE FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT WITH JUST SOME MILD CREASING TO THE BOTTOM. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND IS OF COURSE FREE FROM ANY WRITING. 

OVERALL A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER OF ALL THE BEATLES VINYL, THIS EXAMPLE OFFERS SUPERB BLACK AND GOLD LABELS WITH EXCELLENT VINYL AND SUPERB AUDIO.
