THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP (FIRST UK STEREO 'BLACK AND GOLD' PCS 3042)
THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP (FIRST UK STEREO 'BLACK AND GOLD' PCS 3042). An iconic 1st UK stereo 'black and gold' copy of Please Please Me. This copy is the very first pressing on Parlophone with the distinctive 'black and gold' labels (PCS 3042, with Dick James credits for tracks A1, A2, A6, A7, B4 and B6). The record is in glossy VG+ condition with some rather light and minor surface hairline marks to the playing surfaces (perhaps moreover noted to side 1) though none of these marks are ever heavier feelable scratches. Labels are clean and clear. ZMT tax code on side 2. Matrix/mother/stampers: YEX 94-1 1 R & YEX 95-1 1 G. The first pressing ('right' aligned Angus McBean credit) sleeve is in solid VG condition with the front sharp and clean, the reverse displaying some lifting to the bottom reverse flipback tab. Without any seam splits and with the spine fully legible. Housed with clean original Emitex inner.
Sold for £2,600
