Toggle navigation Menu Home About Us Delivery Payment View Feedback This item is listed with FREE POSTAGE in the UK The Beatles Please Please Me, 1963 2nd stereo LP black/gold Parlophone PCS 3042.
This is a nice example of the second pressing of the stereo LP Please Please Me by The Beatles.
It was released on the black and gold Parlophone label in early 1963 PCS 3042.
The matrix numbers are YEX 94-1 and YEX 95-1.
The stamper numbers on the first side are 1 G and on side two they are 1 R.
There is no raised tax code on either side.
The record is in EX condition.
When playing there is a very slight / negligible movement visible with the stylus which of course does not affect play.
I am familiar with the term storage warp but would not put this even in that category.
It is well within any tolerance that might be expected for a 57 year old LP and usually I would not even mention it.
But here, as this is such a nice example I want to state anything and everything.
The labels have Northern Songs credits by some of the McCartney-Lennon songs.
From what I have read, the second pressing is actually harder to find than the first pressing.
Not that I have ever even seen either before and doubt that I ever will again? There are no spider marks by the spindle hole on each side and it is easy to see that this can only have been played a handful of times.
The gold print is perfectly clean and bright on both sides.
The lined Emitex inner-sleeve is clean and crisp.
The laminated Ernest J Day has just a small bump at the bottom right corner shown in close-up in my picture .
There is an even smaller one more like a tiny graze to the tip of the bottom left.
Otherwise, it has no bumping / fraying even on the spine where the title is perfectly clean and clear.
On the back there is a tiny crease on the bottom seam at its top edge by the opening.
Very minor but as this item is a bit special I need to mention anything and everything.
It is remarkably clean lovely and white, free of finger-marks and of course no writing or stickers etc.
In all, the cover grades as EX.
