THE BEATLES - 'PLEASE, PLEASE ME'
UK 1963 '3rd' *STEREO* PRESSING LP
**NEAR MINT**
Here is an incredibly rare UK 3rd STEREO pressing is on the black & yellow Parlophone labels: PCS 3042
Both labels omit the 'Recording First Published..' and 'Sold in UK..' texts.
'Parlophone Co. Ltd' rims are present, as is an 'MT' tax/price code around the side 1 centre hole.
Matrix numbers: YEX 94-1 & YEX 95-1
Stamper numbers: 1/GD & 1/P
Disc weight: 159g
Housed in a immaculate, initial 'gold issue' front laminated, tri-flipback 'E.J. Day' printed stereo cover with the 'Angus McBean' credit is positioned in the extreme lower right corner.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
Labels: MINT
An immaculate set with no spindle marks or wear to either.
Visual: 1. MINT 2. NEAR MINT
Immaculate & pristine unmarked surfaces which retain their 'as new' deep-gloss shines on both sides with no groovewhitening, clouding or dull area from incorrect storage or careless handling.
Close & careful inspection directly beneath my halogen desk lamp shows side 1 to be totally mark-free and MINT with just a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines on side 2.
There are absoloutely no scuffs, marks or scratches or any kind anywhere on this incredible example.
A quality pressing which lies 100% flat on both sides with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Possibly played just once or twice, this exquisite copy sounds 100% 'as new' throughout with no traces of any audible wear in any channel on any track.
Both run-ins and all bands play silently and there are of course no clicks, pops or any other interference anywhere.
I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with this copy and an upgrading will be impossible.
Cover: NEAR MINT
I have never come across, or seen a better example of this rare cover - it really does look like it has just left the shop.
The front panel laminate is pristine, unscratched and perfect with no creases, thumbnails or bends to any part.
Apart from a bruise to the lower left and upper right corners, all are clean, un-rubbed and undamaged. The rear opening edge has a few tiny 'pushes' along its length but the front is in perfect condition.
The rear panel is spotless and truely immaculate. The card is perfectly white with no discolouration, handling marks, writing or missing paper.
All the delicate flipbacks and corners are clean, 100% intact and totally undamaged and both seams are clean and smooth with no flaking or missing laminate.
The spine and its text are also perfect.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean and flat with minor storagewear but no tears, writing or splits. **Please see my other listings for some more rare UK Beatles Records**
