About this Item

Hey! Have you got a nice Parlophone "Please Please Me" 12-inch jacket with a vinyl record inside that looks like some teen-ager used it as a hockey puck -- or maybe no vinyl at all? We can help! What we have here is not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl mono record, vinyl disc ONLY -- NO cardboard jacket. (Came to us in a plain white inner sleeve, which offered good protection, thank heavens.) We believe this is a 1963 (though some say 1964) fourth pressing of Parlophone mono PMC 1202, with the name "Parlophone" in yellow (not gold) all caps sans serif lettering 3/8ths-inch tall. The words "The Beatles," on the other hand, appear near bottom of labels in tiny letters 1/16 inch tall. (What were they THINKING?) The "All rights of the manufacturer" legend around the edge of the label starts with "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." (NOT "Gramophone.") The label DOES read "Recording first published 1963", but NOT "Sold in the U.K." "Dick James Mus. Co." publisher's credit appears to label for the two cuts "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me," only. Trailoff stamped XEX 421-1 N to Side One; XEX 422-1 N to Side Two. Side Two vinyl is near mint; Side One vinyl is very-good with two superficial, curved, parallel scratches running through tracks three through seven. These scratches cannot be felt; we have played these tracks and hear minor noise only between tracks. The fact that this album is mono will not be considered a drawback by many collectors seeking the original Beatles Sound; though in later efforts the lads worked quite purposely with stereo technology at Abbey Road, George Harrison found some of the stereo releases of their early work simply odd, with different tracks assigned almost randomly to separate channels, creating effects which the band had not intended and on which they had not been consulted. Original U.K. monaural release here reduced from $450. (Vinyl only; NO jacket.). Seller Inventory # 010037

Terms of Sale:

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...

Shipping Terms:

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
