THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP (FIRST UK STEREO 'BLACK AND GOLD' PCS 3042). A beautifully kept 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 superlative Ex+ condition. Retaining the superbly glossy original lustre, there are only a couple of extremely faint, slight and wispy paper marks to the wonderfully clean playing surfaces. With stunning sharp and clean labels, with ZMT tax code on side 2. Matrix/mother/stampers: YEX 94-1 1 A & YEX 95-1 1 R . Housed with clean original Emitex inner. The first pressing ('right' aligned Angus McBean credit) sleeve is in SHARP VG+ condition. The front in lovely clean order, there is a very small section of the bottom left section of the reverse flipback tab with some repair in clear tape, the reverse elsewhere in clean order. The spine is in sharp, clean and fully legible order. A cracking example.
