THE BEATLES - Please Please Me Parlophone PCS 3042 Stereo 1st Pressing EX / EX
Released on 26th April 1963 6 weeks after the mono version it is believed that only 600 copies of this first pressing were made, before publishing credits on the labels were corrected, making this one of the rarest and most sought after Beatles records.
This is a genuine single owner copy. I am selling this on behalf of a customer, who bought the record from a local record shop just a few days after it was released. The record has been very well cared for and is great condition.
