THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP (1ST UK 'BLACK AND GOLD' PMC 1202 - SUPERB COPY). A fantastic clean 1st UK mono 'black and gold' copy of the iconic debut long player from the fab four. The record (PMC 1202, with correct Dick James for tracks A1, A2, A6, A7, B4 and B6) is in stunning Ex+ condition. With absolutely no need to upgrade, there are only a couple of extremely faint, slight and wispy marks to the incredibly clean playing surfaces. Wow. Matrix/mother stampers: XEX 421-1N 1 R & XEX 422-1N 1 R (an extremely early run). With only very minor wear to the lovely sharp, clean and bright labels showing the ZT tax code on side 2. The first printing 'right aligned' Angus McBean credit sleeve is in VG+ condition. The front extremely clean with only a little wear to the laminate, there is a small paper tear on the top flipback tab, the remainder of the reverse in sharp and clean order. Without any seam splits, the spine very crisp and naturally fully legible. A really top copy here.
