Description
The BEATLES official 1987 USA Capitol/EMI FIRST release of their FIRST LP album PLEASE PLEASE ME, all 14 songs, in MONO, “as intended”. This one is produced by George Martin. Fantastic!! As always!! The 33rpm vinyl equivalent to the recently released US CDs of the Beatles UK albums, trying to get the whole world in sync with the Beatles UK album catalog!! Another of the worlds most iconic covers on a record album! Crooked angle shot of the Boys in the stairwell at Abbey Road studio, in early 1963. Vinyl is presumed Goldmine Mint as it is STILL SEALED, since purchase in 1987. Unplayed. Presumed near perfect!! See photo 4 for sample image of presumed 1987 Capitol Rainbow label. The UK albums were all remastered for 1987 reissue. And of course remaster again in 1995 and 2012, I think. Classic hits here are LOVE ME DO (1963 2nd version), PLEASE PLEASE ME, I SAW HER STANDING THERE, TWIST AND SHOUT, and DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET. Every song is a classic, even today, almost 60 years later!! 10 of 14 songs were recorded in ONE all day session, aimed at getting the LP to market following the title track reaching Number One early in the year. This album hit the UK market in March ‘63 and was soon Number One, and Beatlemania began!!! A year later they had conquered the YS!!! 6 songs are covers, and 8 are originals by Lennon-McCartney!! They all still sound so fresh, with Incredible energy from the boys as they attack your ears with superb melodies and harmonies! This is a beautiful record, quite wonderful sounding!! John was 22, Ringo 22, Paul 20, and George 19 on that famous recording session date in January ‘63. See photo 3 to see how young they were about that date!! The cover sleeve is well kept, in plastic wrap and cover since its purchase in 1987, by me. I quickly learned to handle them as little as possible, especially one of these “new” reissues which I thought would become rarer and greatly treasured!! Read more on “45cat”, my favorite worldwide discography site. Trying to price it is guesswork. Very few are up for sale from 1987!! But I guess the market will tell me what these are worth! This one is quite nice! You decide!! See images, actual sale item. Seller is 50+ year collector and keeper of all things Beatles related. Shipped with USPS Media Mail and Global Shipping Program. All purchases ship together for $5 total. So browse for others. Price reduces weekly till sold!! Best to all! Beatle Lew.
