BEATLES PLEASE PLEASE ME ORIG ' 63 UK MONO PARLOPHONE 3RD COMPLETE RARE
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:50711080 | Artist: Mono |
| Record Label: Parlophone |
Nice overall complete copy of this much sought after FIRST UK Beatle album released in 1963!
RARE in any condition!
This is the 3rd pressing first released in the summer of 1963. It is the first pressing with black label and yellow logo and silver print Parlophone label. It has a front laminated flipback cover, with large 'mono' on front. "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." is printed at the start perimeter print, but without "Recording first published 1963".
Correct original sleeve... with Angus McBean credit starting at the end of g in songs and Ernest J. Day Co. Ltd credit on the lower edge of the back cover. Complete copy offered with original tracing paper lined Emitex die cut inner!
Sleeve: VG (probably closer to VG+ as far as these covers are concerned) Really nice example of a 1963 laminated original cover! Most copies you see are in pretty rough shape but this copy retains original gloss and firmness. Spine is in tact and readable. No seem splits. There is corner and edgewear and some minor creasing. On the bottom right of the back cover there is wear and PCS 3042 has been written with pen.
Record: Side 1 visually G+ to VG-. Plays VG There are a few deeper light scratches that add to the surface noise in between tracks with the occasional popping. It did not skip or loop on my turntable.Side 2 visually G+ to VG- Plays VG. Same as side with some surface noise in the quieter tracks and intermittent popping. I did get a slight jump in Love Me Do with immediate correction. I played it through again and did not get the same jump. Labels have no writing. In the past it looks to have been cleaned ultrasonically which could have added some of the hairlines in the dead wax. This cleaning and fixing of some deeper spots, however, seems to have improved condition of the sound while playing as it actually sounds really good for its age.
Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 421-1N; Side 2: XEX 422-1N.
A very nice collectible copy!!
