Had my first experience of viewing a Stereo 'Black and Gold' first pressing of Please Please Me back in around 1986 at a North West Record Fair.....and baulked at the £1,000 asking price!

I still have many of my Beatles albums from when I was a youngster. I have 45s and 33s. I recently walked into my local record shop and happened to see a box filled with Beatles albums and 45s. Many from UK and imports. Many American. They were all in pristine condition and the lady who owned them just dropped them off to the store for payment. I wanted every one. I asked if they would hold them for me as being a Disabled American Veteran payday is once a month. They were awesome and I got them all. I have a huge Beatles collection. Sweet! I really scored on that day. Keep up the faith, the albums are out there, getting your hands on them is exciting.

I'm drooling at that gold label Please Please me 😁

How lucky to not just have a black and gold PPM, but one that looks like it left the shop yesterday!

You have the best job!

I know I'm a bit OCD but if I ever sent you my Beatles LPs, I'd pack them in chronological order! :-)

Just wow for the PPM 1st press. It’s in awesome condition. I can only imagine how much this will fetch…

That's amazing

That is a VAULT COPY of the gold & black label stereo Please Please Me. That is possibly the very best example in existence. Amazing!

Nice showing. It is hard to find a clean copy for these over 50 yr old albums. As you say they were well played. Many at home, at friends houses, school, and parties! That gold Please Please Me is not just a record but a historical artifact.

That PPM is just....WOW! Never ever seen such a nice 1st Stereo copy before!

Wow, what a haul! I really enjoyed that. Especially the please please me gold label! That was marvellous. And I thought that no copys without spindle marks existed… Boy was I wrong! Outstanding!

Yay! new video, just started watching the other video, but instead I got a notification for a new one! cool!!

I remember when I got my first stimulus check I remember I couldn’t wait to open up the big packages of the Beatles LPs that I got the singles set and the Beatles stereo box that on the vinyl it was fantastic. I love the fact of opening each album from its shrinkwrap which is great. I love these unboxing videos those are great to see and to hear.

blimey, that last one is a beauty!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on Beatles vinyl. I feel like i'm becoming quite the expert just by watching your channel. :)

Hi Andrew, Can well understand the introduction of the white gloves for the stereo yellow and black Please Please Me.It's in amazing condition.

Expensive hobby.

What a dream it would be to hold a Stereo copy of Please Please Me, let alone one that looks just as new as one that’s being sold at a retailer. Great unboxing, I myself had a bit of fun watching this and guessing which pressings the albums were! I got 3/4ths of them right haha

Great haul…thanks for sharing Andrew!

Beautiful!!! That's awesome when you unboxed Please Please Me gold STEREO copy!!!!

Very nice indeed! As always, thanks again for sharing! You sounded like you were having a hard time containing your excit/rement over that Please Please Me stereo first pressing.

Must have been an adult (as opposed to a teen) that bought that gold label PPM in 1963 and just filed it under 'Might be worth $$ one day'!. Cant see a younger person purchasing a Beatles album and never play it.

It's Christmas again at Parlogram! That black & gold Please Please Me is impressive. Either someone bought it and never played it, anticipating its value (which would be quite a feat since, if I recall correctly, it came out prior to The Beatles taking the US)... or someone has secretly invented time travel. I imagine it's days like these, Andrew, when you smile and say, "I love my job." 😀 Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us!

There you have it guys! That's a very serious reason for a Time machine to be invented unless you want to spend a small fortune! God if I ever came across one black and gold Stereo of Please Please Me, I'd probably drop it because of tremble LOL! How can you be so calm? :P

If you use autoglym car polish on the laminate, it brings up the shine on the covers. And removes ring marks on the laminated sleeves.

The "seam splits" could've been cause by shipping the records inside the outter sleeves! Usually you ship records outside the outter sleeves (inside the inner sleeves of course)!

Fantastic

So, that is why the records when packed are sometimes packed outside their covers. To preserve the edges of the covers......

No matter how many times you do it, it will always be a thrill to see you going through these lovely early pressings like this. Total vinyl porn.

Great video. I would love to have many of those. I'm sure the PPM will easily go for over £500 or around 700 dollars US. The mono version beats out the stereo IMO but both have that great sounding energy! The White mono, even with that scratch or pressing defect, won't be cheap either.

Very inspiring videos for an amateur Beatles records collector as I am. Thank you so much!

Thank you for another wonderful unboxing. I love your knowledge. Keep ‘em coming.

What a finale! I hadn’t seen those 70’s inner sleeves before. Very cool! Well done again! The many different pressings astounds me...and cover differences whether mono or stereo. Again, brilliant job!

I always have a heartbeat When I look at these videos much more than When I see a beautiful woman

Woah

Amazing!

Fab Fab Fab Gear!

Very nice PPM stereo. But I wasn’t expecting to see a black inner sleeve with it. 👍

2 videos in two days!!!!! 😁

Brilliant video again Andrew & as a true Beatles fan would you consider doing a ranking video on their albums & say a top 25 singles ranking as well ? I don't know whether that's your thing but it would be great to see.... Cheers

Like the person underneath said you do have the best job EVER. Just to go through lovely lovely records and identify them and sell them on your popular website. But I suspect there is a LOT more work that goes on away from the videos. Am I right? But Andrew have you much experience with the Direct Metal Masters? Would you do a video about the Beatles Direct Metal Masters? Because they do sound different. Think I told you via a comment here that since my girlfriends Father died and she got all his records (minus whatever the scroungers went through and took that was worth anything before she got them, don't ask. You know what happens when people who are straight as a die and worked all their life and earned a lot of money (he was a prominent aerospace engineer) and collected records die.All the extended family come out the woodwork who you ain't seen or spoken to for years, and things were taken before she got them and I DREAD to think what was pilfered as what was left was still good but we know he had so much more and he had been collecting since 1968 and had many mint copies of the White album and abbey road and let it be 1970 box. And what was left was his player copies that were in worse condition, and all his mint unopened copies had gone. Yes that's right mint unopened first press copies of the White album, abbey road and the let it be box. He was one of the rare foresighted people who had the money at the time and bought extra copies of everything to keep mint unopened. And what was left was still first press copies of all that but they were played and the covers were scruffy because like I said they were his player copies. I genuinely dead to think what else was taken before we got them) But anyway I've gone on but a record dealer took my rubber soul and Revolver DMM copies that were very very rare (I've never seen them anywhere they actually had the DMM sign on the vinyl label and the Parlophone label I have never seen and can't find. They aren't the general DMM that they did in 1988-1995 that are common out there) because they were kept sperate from what he could take but close by and I wasn't there. My girlfriend dealt with him. And since then I'm collecting DMM and wanted to know how different the sounds are compared to others using your very clever graphs. Thank you

I would interested to know which Beatle album is your favourite?. Mine has to be the white album.So many fantastic tracks ranging from beautiful ballads to pulsating rockers Absolute classic and very underrated

I think that the Beatles albums are probably worth a lot of money I can’t wait to get my hands on the movie medley which is only about a 45 Do you have the 45 of the German version of my bunny in your store which has Tony Sheridan singing in German that in English that was released interestingly enough in 1962 and do you also have the movie medley on 45?

Hey Parlogram Auctions, I loved the video but my question is, how do you get these Boxes?

Nice haul but some of the vinyl looked beat up a bit. How did they come out after cleaning? Magic eraser with wet cleaner works well on ringwear dirt especially glossy and some other cover surfaces too. But be careful.! Nice gold label stereo too.

So your collection is be very large my guess.How many copies of same Lp you have in your hands now?Seen no have a finally my guess.Good music for you,with all these records ok.Uchino of Japan.Thank you Andrew. I see you in next time.

I was wondering, does the original Help! album from UK have the James Bond instrumental intro like the US copies of the time do? When the Beatles catalog was more recently remastered, it was missing.

im ghoing to bed so i can watch this comfortably.

One EMI box Help Mono is indeed the rarest out there, and i have it. I am looking for this Help on Mono with yellow parlophone only one i do not have from this video, and PPM gold as well. Thanks

I wondered were there white albums in stereo that were top loading with black bags?

Did the Please Please Me have the original, inner sleeve with it?

Hey Andrew, what's your opinion of the French Pathe Marconi pressings that were done for the UK market?

I’d be curious to know how many black and gold stereo PPM albums exist in that condition. Ten? Twenty? There can’t be many.

I would love to know what you paid for that NM stereo Please Please Me . The only thing I don’t understand about that is the black inner sleeve isn’t original, it should have an Emitex inner sleeve . Still that’s going to go for a FORTUNE !

I have a question: where do you get these lp’s on that mint condition?

How much are all those records worth?

Hi what would the please please me stereo fetch many thanks

Is this Stereo PPM already sold?

These record's were well loved! Remember ,People didn't play em to death because they sucked!

Early

Some of those records look in bad shape. I hope you didn't have to pay much for them. I would never accept Beatles LPS unless they are excellent to mint condition as you know there are millions of copies in circulation out there.
