THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP (ORIGINAL UK STEREO 'BLACK AND GOLD' PCS 3042). An extremely well kept 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 Ex condition. Retaining the original lustre, there are a couple of light and minor surface marks to the playing surfaces - these are never at all heavier with absolutely no feelable scratches to mention. With sharp and clean labels, with ZMT tax code on side 1. Matrix/mother/stampers: YEX 94-1 1 R & YEX 95-1 1 G. Housed with clean original Emitex inner. The first pressing ('right' aligned Angus McBean credit) sleeve is in Ex condition. The front in exceptionally clean order, there is a very small section of the upper top right section of the reverse flipback tab missing, the reverse elsewhere in clean order showing a little foxing. The spine is in sharp, clean and fully legible order. A great example.
