willbri Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have this record that I found and wondering if its one of the very rare copies of the Please Please Me.. I'm looking at finding the value of it.. The vinyl is still sealed in the original packaging meaning it has never been opened. Any help would be appreciated.

Dominic_ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Do you have to have less than 100 posts to make a thread like this? Seriously, you won't get a straight answer here. There's another forum (I forget the name. Steve Hoffman or something?) that'll be more helpful. Someone here will refer you there along with a snarky comment. That importcd sticker is making me sad.

willbri Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was told by some of my friends to post on this website to ask questions about this vinyl. Just looking for some help. What does the import sticker mean? Good or Bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Let me guess. Something something Waves Records. If you're being serious and not trolling, google it. It's not hard to find information on this one. Ps. We don't appraise records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Any help with value being it having the Imported England sticker and being sealed? That's the golden ticket right there! Generally, anytime you see an import sticker it is usually a good speculative buy. They are a little pricier than domestic but you'll make more than that back on eBay. It's not a sure thing but on the 60s and 70s LPs that they pressed a lot of the import sticker is the easiest way to tell you're getting a rare version.

Plarocks Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would love to buy it. It does not look like a first pressing, but any early "reissue" pressed up in England is going to be "all analog," and will expectedly sound "divine." Provided, you can tolerate all the vocals in one ear, and all the music in the other. The Mono is arguably the best way to experience this album. Time to whip out the "Mono Box." The only "wonky" thing about it is the "Capitol" logo in the lower left hand corner on the back. Early and authentic 60s pressings from the UK would never have that. I suspect this may be a late 70s or early 80s re-issue, and maybe even a US pressing, given the Capitol logo is on it. Crack the seal and enjoy it, and use the balance knob on your receiver for Beatles "Karaoke" night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The vinyl is still sealed in the original packaging meaning it has never been opened. Really? I'm glad you clarified, I would never have known what "sealed" meant otherwise. somethingvinyl, THE_James_Champ, kellingc6 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74R Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Really? I'm glad you clarified, I would never have known what "sealed" meant otherwise. C'mon man. No need to be sarcastic. You and I both know 50% of the time someone refers to something/someone as having been "sealed" they mean having been hit with a live seal. Example: "Aw man, did you see Becky's black eye and how she was limping all day at school?" "Ya man. Her and her friends went to the beach this weekend and sealed the shit outta each other." aflycon, THE_James_Champ and aju2streets 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you clarified, I would never have known what "sealed" meant otherwise.Oh yeah, because no one has ever resealed a record. In fact, were records shrink wrapped back then? I have a feeling this record has not been sealed in shrink wrap for over 50 years. The printing would probably peel off by now.

somethingvinyl Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Later Capitol label is a dead give away. Probably the 70's. Capitol didn't issue Beatles records in the UK until White Album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh yeah, because no one has ever resealed a record. If it was resealed, then he couldn't say "that MEANS it's never been opened", because a reseal would not be an indication of never having been opened.

mxv Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Shrink wrap was used before the 80's. I got plenty of records in the 70's that were shrink wrapped. mssskat184, chiefwahoo and niblips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 bottom line is, its not worth what it goes for and what it goes for is too high. basically make a bowl out of it to eat your fruity pebbles or hold on to until there is a zombie apocalypse so use it as a weapon. you're not going to get rich from it bruh. lock it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
