Description
The Beatles "Please Please Me" on the black and gold Parlophone label first pressing (1963) (PMC 1202)
The soon to be replaced gold lettering on black "Parlophone" label is by far the rarest.
This first pressing had the six new McCartney/Lennon songs with a publishing credit of "Dick James Music Co.", and the cover is a laminated sleeve with an advert for "Emitex" cleaning cloths.
There are a few very light surface marks on the vinyl but it is generally in very good condition for a 52 year old record, see photographs.
99p start UK ONLY, HAPPY BIDDING!
Please Please Me is the debut album by English rock band The Beatles. Parlophone released this album on March 22nd, 1963 in Great Britain after the great success of the two singles "Please Please Me" (No.1 on most lists but only No. 2 on Record Retailer) and "Love Me Do" (No.17). That same year four pressings of this record were released and the LP remained at the top of the charts for 30 weeks. Of the album's fourteen songs, eight were written by Lennon–McCartney (originally credited "McCartney–Lennon"), early evidence of what Rolling Stone later called "[their invention of] the idea of the self-contained rock band, writing their own hits and playing their own instruments". In 2012, Please Please Me was voted 39th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
