    I came a cross a stash of really tatty Beatles albums today for £5 each, the sleeves were all well beyond repair but bizarrely all the albums were OK. There was the first Jobette credited With The Beatles, and a beautifully clean stereo Revolver but best of all were 2 Please Please Me copies, one yellow & black Parlophone disc in EX+ (again, I couldn't save the mouldy sleeve) and a very first Black & Gold mono which despite a few light marks has cleaned up to be VG condition. Am happy to keep the discs as they will be good for upgrades when I find scratched vinyl copies in the future.

    Black & Gold labels, with the Dick James Music song credits, changed soon after on all later releases.
