Description
For sale is a copy of The Beatles first album, Please Please Me.
This is an original UK 4th Pressing produced in 1963 which features the sought-after yellow and black Parlophone labels.
Both the record and sleeve are in great condition and would be a super addition to any collection.
Please see below for further details.
Many vinyl records are mis-sold on eBay. There are several details which identify this copy as a true 4th pressing. They are:
- · Front side laminated E. J. Day & Co. flipback sleeve.
- · Large MONO on the front of the sleeve.
- · Black labels with yellow Parlophone logo.
- · ‘Recording first published 1963’ printed over two lines on the label.
- · ‘PMC 1202’ catalogue number.
- · Matrix numbers XEX 421-1N (side 1) and XEX 422-1N (side2).
I try to take pictures which provide a fair representation of the condition of a record and the sleeve. If interested, please read below for a detailed discussion including an audio description.
I use the Goldmine standard as a reference for grading.
Vinyl: Very Good +
The vinyl looks great and plays even better.
The surface retains the original gloss sheen.
The labels are bright and clean and have minimal spindle wear.
There are subtle hairline scuffs which can be picked up in bright light but nothing deep that affects playback.
The audio is extremely clear with very little background crackle.
Overall, it Is a pleasurable listening experience.
Sleeve: Very Good +
The sleeve is in great condition.
The front looks fantastic; very clean without any laminate ripples or creases.
As the rear is not laminated it is prone to becoming dirty.
This copy is still remarkably clean with only subtle discolouration.
The corners are strong, and the spine is crisp.
There are no rips, tears or writing present anywhere on the sleeve.
Inner Sleeve: Very Good +
The inner sleeve is the original polythene lined ‘protect your records’ Emitex copy.
It is very white without any seam splits or rips.
It does have a few creases on a couple of corners.
Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality inner sleeve which provides the best possible protection for the record.
This is a superb copy of a superb album that has been enjoyed for 58years and is ready to be enjoyed for 58 more years by the next owner.
The outer sleeve, vinyl, and inner sleeve are all housed within a premium quality polythene outer sleeve.
The record will be sent within a padded vinyl record mailer and will be sent via an insured courier.
