Todas las subastas / Música e instrumentos de música / Beatles - Please Please Me (UK) – Early Mono -1N/-1N – E.J


A beautiful early UK mono copy of The Beatles' debut album, retaining several important features from the original 1963 production period. This example carries the classic black-and-yellow Parlophone labels with "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." printed around the perimeter and the "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" statement. Importantly, the labels do not yet carry the familiar "SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS" wording which was introduced on EMI labels during 1964. This places the record firmly within the early production history of Please Please Me, before that later label change. The labels also retain the period K/T purchase-tax code, another characteristic detail of UK records from this era. The record retains the original XEX 421-1N / XEX 422-1N matrix combination. These -1N/-1N matrices are the original mono cuts used from the very beginning of UK production of the album and continued to be used through several early label variations. Side 1 is particularly interesting, having been pressed from the first mother. The record is housed in an original Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. front-laminated flipback sleeve. E.J. Day was one of the two principal sleeve manufacturers used for early UK copies of Please Please Me, and this example retains the classic early construction with laminated front and wrap-around flipbacks to the rear. The record is complete with its original period Emitex inner sleeve. ⸻ Sleeve (VG+): The original Ernest J. Day sleeve remains very presentable. There is some light corner wear, laminate creasing and mild age-related staining to the rear, but the sleeve remains structurally strong and displays very nicely. The spine remains presentable and the rear printing is clear → VG+ Inner Sleeve: Original period Emitex inner sleeve included. Labels: The black-and-yellow Parlophone labels are very clean, with strong silver print and minimal signs of handling. K/T tax code present. Vinyl (EX): The vinyl retains a beautiful deep gloss and presents remarkably cleanly for an original early-1960s Beatles LP. Only light evidence of previous play is visible → EX ⸻ Details * UK mono first pressing * Parlophone PMC 1202 * Black-and-yellow Parlophone labels * "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" text present * Pre-"Sold in U.K." label variant * K/T tax code * Original Ernest J.
