AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An absolute holy grail for vintage vinyl collectors and a stunning piece of mid-60s music history! Up for auction is the legendary debut album by The Beatles (originally "Please Please Me"), released as a highly collectible, exclusive 1964 German First Pressing by the famous magazine HÖR ZU.
This ultra-rare edition features the unique, Germany-only alternative pop-art cover artwork universally known among worldwide collectors as "Die zentrale Tanzschaffe der weltberühmten Vier aus Liverpool".
Specifications:
• Artist: The Beatles
• Title: Please Please Me und andere Knüller
• Label: HÖR ZU / Electrola (Sonderfertigung der Electrola Gesellschaft m.b.H. Köln)
• Catalog Number: HZE 117
• Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono
• Country & Year: Germany, 1964 (True 1st Pressing)
• Matrix / Runout Identifiers: HZE117 A-1 / HZE117 B-1
• First Pressing Feature: Features the earliest label design with the rim text starting with "Alle Rechte des Plattenherstellers..." (instead of the later "Urheber- und Leistungsschutzrechte...").
Special Historical Feature:
The center label of Side 2 features a charming, vintage hand-written inscription from a previous owner: "Hannover den 20.8.65". This handwritten entry was almost certainly made by the original buyer on the exact day of purchase in Hanover, Germany back in August 1965 – adding an incredible, unique historical touch to this mid-60s record!
Condition:
• Sleeve / Cover: VG+ (Very Good Plus)
The front cover looks beautiful with vibrant colors and sharp graphics. The corners and edges show typical but minor storage wear and light age-related rubbing on the back
There are no seam splits, no heavy creasing, and no writing on the jacket itself. A very clean and well-preserved copy!
• Vinyl / Audio: VG+ (Very Good Plus)
The vinyl retains a nice gloss and shows some light superficial surface marks, paper scuffs, or fine hairlines under bright light. It has been well looked after, playing through beautifully with great mono depth and only occasional light background crackle typical for a record of this era.
• Labels: VG+
The iconic red and white labels are clean with some visible spindle marks. Side 2 features the historical handwriting as mentioned above and clearly visible in the photos.
