This 1976 UK Parlophone pressing of "Please Please Me" by The Beatles is a superb archive piece from the mid-seventies retail campaign. Released as an individual instalment within The Singles Collection 1962-1970 series, this 7-inch variant features the traditional black and silver Parlophone label with an intact 4-pronged push-out centre. The record comes beautifully presented in its original green flipback card picture sleeve, which features a vintage promotional portrait of the group printed on the reverse panel.

The track listing on this 45rpm single showcases the brilliant songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney that took the world by storm. Side A carries the iconic, upbeat title track "Please Please Me", while Side B features the smooth vocal arrangements of "Ask Me Why". For dedicated matrix collectors checking the run-out grooves, the dead wax features the machine-stamped -2/-2 configuration, showing 7XCE 17217-2 on the primary side and 7XCE 17218-2 on the flip, confirming its authentic 1970s EMI pressing origin.

We grade this vintage reissue single as VG/EX, making it a highly desirable copy for an active turntable catalogue. The rigid matt card sleeve is in very good condition, displaying some typical ringwear on the back panel, which is common on these sleeves.
