THE BEATLES
"PLEASE PLEASE ME b/w ASK ME WHY" PARLOPHONE R 4983
STAMPERS 1 GGD 1 TH MATRICES -1N -1N KT TAX CODE SIDE 1 CENTRE
THIS IS THE RAREST VARIANT OF THE BLACK AND SILVER COPIES OF "PLEASE PLEASE ME" AND THE LAST PRODUCED FROM THE 1960's AND IN VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE BLACK AND SILVER PRESSINGS SOLD AFTER THE SHORT LIVED RED AND SILVER LABEL COPIES HAD THE LABEL NUMBER 45-R 4983 AND THE RIM TEXT IN UPPER AND LOWER CASE
ONCE THE 45 WAS DROPPED BY EMI FROM THE NUMBER WE HAD R 4983 PRESSING'S STILL WITH UPPER LOWER CASE RIM TEXT
THE NEXT PRESSING ALSO STILL HAD R 4983 AND UPPER LOWER CASE RIM TEXT BUT INCLUDED "SOLD IN THE UK"
FINALLY WE COME TO THIS PRESSING ALSO R 4983 WITH "SOLD IN THE UK BUT THE RIM TEXT WAS CHANGED TO JUST UPPER CASE TEXT MAKING IT THE RAREST OF THE BLACK LABEL PRESSINGS AND WOULD DATE IT TO AROUND EARLY 1965
THE VINYL RECORD SURFACES ARE IN GLOSSY CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES WITH JUST VERY VEY LIGHT SLEEVE RETENTION MARKS AQUIRED OVER THE YEARS
THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND THE CENTREHOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE ONLY LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS SHOWING MAINLY TO THE 'B' SIDE
HOWEVER AND HARD TO BELIEVE THERE IS A NAME WRITTEN ON THE 'A SIDE PUSH OUT CENTRE IT REALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ITS WRITTEN VERY LIGHT AND VERY DARK ( OR FADED ) AND YOU WOULD NEED TO MAGNIFY IT TO SEE IT ,IN NORMAL HANDLING OF THE RECORD YOU JUST WOULDN'T KNOW UNLESS SOMEONE TOLD YOU
A PLAY TEST WAS FIRST CLASS WITH CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO
RECORD COMES IN ITS PERIOD PARLOPHONE SLEEVE FROM THE TIME
