THE BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME " RARE " BLACK/GOLD MONO FIRST PRESSING FROM 1963. PMC 1202 THE ALL IMPORTANT MATRIX CODES ARE, SIDE ONE : XEX 421-1N AND SIDE TWO : XEX 422-1N THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER U K BEATLES LP'S. !!!!!!! WITH THE PARLAPHONE CO LTD . BUT WITHOUT SOLD IN THE U K . SOME COPIES THAT TURN UP ARE BARELY PLAYABLE, AND WHILST THIS ISN'T A MINT COPY, IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AND PLAYS VERY WELL. WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS, OR MAJOR CLICKS. IT HAS GREAT CONDITION LABELS ( ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF ANY L P.) SEE PHOTO'S . !!! THEY RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINALSHINE AND GLOSS, AND THE GOLD WRITING IS " STUNNINGLY " SHARP, WITH NO FADING !!!! THERE IS SOME SLIGHT ( AND I DO MEAN SLIGHT ) RUBBING AROUND THE CENTER HOLE-- THOUGH THAT HASN'T AFFECTED THE COLOUR, AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO'S, THESE LABELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AND MUCH BETTER THAN MOST YOU SEE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS COVER !!!!! IT ALSO HAS THE "THICKER" POLYTHENE LINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVE, WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH JUST SOME SLIGHT YELLOWING. THE OUTER "ERNEST J DAY" SLEEVE IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH THE " ANGUS McBEAN PHOTO ". THERE IS A GREAT SHINE TO THE LAMINATE. THERE ARE NO SIDE SPLITS, NOR IS THERE ANY HANDWRITING ON THE COVER OR ALBUM LABELS. WITH JUST A LITTLE CORNER WEAR, ONLY SOME LIGHT CREASES, AND A SMALL PIECE OF LAMINATE FLIPBACK MISSING FROM THE BOTTOM, ON THE REVERSE SIDE. ALSO SOME MINIMAL GRUBBYNESS IN PLACES, AND ONLY VERY SLIGHT YELLOWING. WITH A VERY GOOD SPINE, AND EXCELLENT SIDE WORDING.--- THE RECORD PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED, AND THIS IS THE "THICK" QUALITY VINYL, FLAT ( NO WARPING ) WITH VERY LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES AND PAPER SCUFFS. ( ONLY TO BE EXPECTED ON AN L P FROM THE 1960'S ) I HAVE PLAYED THIS RECENTLY ON MY ' MICHELL FOCUS ONE TURNTABLE, WITH S M E 3009 FIXED, AND SHURE CARTRIDGE '. COMBINATION, AND WAS 'AMAZED' AT THE QUALITY OF ALL THE TRACKS, WITH SOME SLIGHT" CRACKLES "AND " STATIC " BETWEEN TRACKS, AND ON ONLY ONE TRACK ( ASK ME WHY ) TRACK 6 SIDE 1 DID I DETECT JUST A FEW BACKGROUND CLICKS, LOUDER THAN THE USUAL STATIC. BUT OVERALL, THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND IS HOW ' GEORGE MARTIN ' AND ' THE BEATLES ' INTENDED IT TO BE, ' IN GLORIOUS MONO 'BUT IF YOU DO WANT TO LISTEN TO A STEREO VERSION , THEN OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS PUT ON A C. D. BUT THEN THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE WAY YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC. THIS IS ABOUT 'BEATLES HISTORY ' AND OWNING A PIECE OF IT, AS IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE 'RAREST AND MOST DEFINITIVE BEATLES L.P.'S OF ALLTIME '!!!!!!! YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PHOTO'S THAT I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE IN DETAIL, AND AS HONESTLY AS I CAN , THE TRUE CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM AND SLEEVE. THIS IS ONE FROM MY OWN COLLECTION, THAT I REMEMBER BUYING WHEN I WAS " JUST SEVENTEEN " ( SOUNDS LIKE A FAMILIAR TITLE ) ( NOW I'M 58 ) AND IT'S ON E'BAY WITH 'NO RESERVE' SO 'HELP' YOURSELF TO A SLICE OF BEATLES HISTORY.......
