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 showing only light wear, with ZMT tax code on side 1. Matrix/mother/stampers: YEX 34-1 1 R & YEX 35-1 1 G. Housed with clean original Emitex inner. The sleeve is in Ex condition. The front image extremely clean, there is some rather minor wear to the reverse bottom fipback tab, though this is certainly not heavier in nature. Elsewhere a very fine example with some very minor wear to the corners.
