Description
On offer here is a SERIOUSLY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Please Please Me" and is an ORIGINAL 1963 UK MONO Yellow & Black 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (also known as the ULTRA RARE '3rd Pressing' - and one of the RAREST pressings of this AMAZING LP ever made!)!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS THE BEATLES FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE RAREST & 'EARLIEST' YELLOW & BLACK PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE PRESSING WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY (ONLY DAYS AFTER THE BLACK & GOLD PRESSINGS ENDED!) AND IS KNOWN AS THE '3RD PRESSING' (ALSO KNOWN AS THE 1ST YELLOW & BLACK PRESSING - AS THE FIRST 2 PRESSINGS WERE BLACK & GOLD ONLY!)!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE YELLOW & BLACK 1ST PRESSING WAS ONLY PRESSED FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME (NO MORE THAN 1 DAY ONLY - AND PROBABLY LESS THAN THAT!), BEFORE BEING IMMEDIATELY REPLACED BY THE 4TH PRESSING!!!! AS A RESULT THIS ULTRA RARE 1ST YELLOW & BLACK PRESSING IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (BECAUSE BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!) AND SERIOUSLY RARE IN EVERY RESPECT!!!!
I WILL NOW EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY THIS LP IS SO SERIOUSLY RARE - AND WHY THIS AMAZINGLY IMPORTANT '3RD PRESSING' IS SO VERY SOUGHT AFTER!!!! THE MOST OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ULTRA RARE '3RD PRESSING' (THE 1ST Y&B PRESSING!) AND ALL LATER PRESSINGS, IS THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE 'FIRST PUBLISHED TEXT ON THE LABELS - WHEREAS THE LATER 4TH PRESSINGS DID!!!! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL - THESE LABELS HAVE THE EXTRA '33 1/3' TEXT (IN TINY TEXT TO THE LEFT OF EACH LABEL!), WHICH WERE MISTAKENLY LEFT OVER FROM THE BLACK & GOLD PRESSINGS, AND SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN EXISTED ON THESE LABELS AT ALL!!!!
LESS THAN 1000 COPIES WERE EVER MADE LIKE THIS (WITH THE TINY 'EXTRA 33 1/3' TO THE LEFT OF EACH LABEL!) - AND IT IS QUITE LITERALLY THE ALL TIME RAREST MONO VARIATION OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1963 UK 'RAREST EVER' MONO '3RD PRESSING' (THE 1ST Y&B PRESSING EVER MADE!) ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 'RAREST EVER' EXTRA 33 1/3 TINY LABEL TEXT, NO 'FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT, NO 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT, ORIGINAL 'EMITEX' INNER SLEEVE, 'PARLOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, A 'LARGE' MONO ON THE COVER FRONT, AND ITS ORIGINAL 'E.J.DAY' FLIPBACK LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Yellow & Black Parlophone UK 3rd Pressing from 1963 and is SERIOUSLY rare in EVERY respect!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The matrix numbers are XEX 421-1N & XEX 422-1N. The Cat. No is PMC 1202 on the ORIGINAL Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is an ULTRA RARE MONO 3rd pressing (the 1st Y&B Pressing EVER)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO stickers, NO wear (apart from a TINY touched in trace around the centre holes!), NO tears, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is still VERY bright & shiny indeed, and plays with NO sticks, and NO jumps AT ALL!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT but it is fairly consistent with most copies of this very VERY rare pressing!!!! It has a few lines / surface marks on either side, though most of these are ONLY visible under bright light, and under normal room conditions - it still looks VERY nice indeed!!!! Importantly it plays through FINE - with NO skips, NO jumps, a few light clicks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! There is some audible background sound throughout, though this is generally lost WELL behind the music which is still VERY loud and punchy!!!! The record must only grade Good if not better - though it has a VERY nice set of labels indeed, and THEY are what makes this record truly collectable!!!! A VERY VERY RARE RECORD INDEED!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Emitex' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition - and is still a very VERY decent example indeed!!!! It has NO edge splits, NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO spine splits, only slight corner wear, NO rips, NO tears, some creasing towards the top right, only a few VERY light creases elsewhere (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO sticker marks, some evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO flipback loss AT ALL, NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY WITH THE RAREST EVER EXTRA 33 1/3 - AS BARELY ANY EXIST!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
