THE BEATLES 1st UK mono Please Please Me BLACK & GOLD EX great copy PMC 1202

Hi, I have a few nice records listed, all in great condition, hopefully some interesting items. Please take a look at my other items. The Beatles Please Please Me. Very rare 1st UK press with Parlophone Black and Gold labels.

Genuine superb copy - the record has seen very little use, great vinyl and very clean sleeve. Very clean labels, they both grade EX+, no spindle marks visible.

The record - Side 1 grades EX+. Side 2 EX-, a couple of small 5mm marks, and a few small light hairlines - non of these sound. Audio grade throughout is EX+, very clear and clean sound, quiet between tracks, no audible clicks.

Matrix numbers / mother / stampers: A side: XEX 421-1N / 2 / GM B Side: XEX 422-1N / 1 / H (side 2 possibly 1N or 1M, it's a very light stamper). This copy is a rare "crossover" pressing with Dick James credits on side 1 and Northern Songs credits on side 2. Day laminated flipback sleeve with Angus McBean photos credit is in great shape. Very, very clean example, rarely seen in such nice condition.

There is a small area of damage to the lower flipback - the cardboard is not torn through, the upper area of laminated cardboard has been stuck down - please see the last photo. There is also a tiny nick (4mm) central to the opening on the rear of the sleeve. Original EMI "Use Emitex" inner sleeve is included, nice EX condition. This is a great copy of a very rare lp with superb audio, this may improve even more if professionally cleaned!

All records graded under a strong light to strict standards. I do not clean records, (I don't have an ultrasonic machine), if any of the discs need a clean this will be mentioned in the listing; I would advise all records to be pro cleaned to ensure the best possible playback.
