Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.
The Beatles - Please Please Me - Gold and Black Parlophone labels - Mono - 1963 Rare 1st UK Pressing - Both sides have 1st variant labels bearing the 'Dick James Mus.' credits on tracks 1, 2, 6 & 7 on side 1 and 4 & 6 on side 2 - Earliest Mono Flipback Ernest J Day Sleeve with Angus McBean Credit in furthest right corner
XEX 421- 1N 1 G
XEX 422 - IN 1 R
Both sides Have NO Deep Marks and NO Deep Scratches, Side 1 has 4 small scratches, these are non feelable and they are all less than 1cm in size, there is a fine scratch in the runoff too, apart from these there are no other marks at all, at most the slightest of sleeve removal signs under very strong light Side 2 has only 2 small scratches, again less than 1cm and non feelable, both are close and this means the rest of the side is completely clean, no other marks at all, at most the faintest of sleeve removal signs under very strong light. It really is a lovely copy. If you took away the the handful of small scratches it would be near perfect visually.
Side 1 Label is clean and in great condition with hardly any signs of being played under strong light, Side 2 label at some point had a sticker on the label, this was removed years ago but it has left a tarnished patch and although not torn the label it did lift some of the surface, The bottom half of the label is clean and spindle hole has very little signs of play again, If you want 2 perfect labels this isn't for you...see photos
Earliest 1st Press Flipback Mono Sleeve has some laminate creasing and lifting to bottom edge of front and bottom half of spine edge also one crease on top edge. No rubbing to front but there are slight creases following the shape of the record. Some wear to corners, spine is solid and fully readable, still quite glossy on front. Back is flat and clean but has damage to bottom left flipback (not visable just looking but has split from back of sleeve about 2.5 inches and there is a small tear top flipback. Old tape residue mark along top flipback edge and slight residue mark along opening edge. I have been very critical but on the whole it is a nice example of this earliest sleeve which so often turn up either destroyed or written on or discoloured. Ernest J Day Sleeve...see photos.
Original EMITEX Inner is solid and flat with a small seem split on bottom edge.
MORE BEATLES LP's LISTED NOW!! MORE WILL BE LISTED IN A FEW DAYS
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this.
NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA
With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.
Any questions...please ask.
Premium quality record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.
