Please Please Me (mono, purple label)
~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 70 available)
Annotation
1988-90 pressing of Capitol’s series of their earlier UK album catalog, first issued in 1987 for the first time in the US (outside the Mo-Fi limited editions), matching their CD counterparts (and using the same catalog numbers). Digital masters were used in these pressings.
There are 3 variations to this series.
This listing is for variation #2:
-Catalog # of CLJ-46435 (seen on spine, upper left front cover,lower left back cover and labels)
-Purple Capitol label design with the Parlophone logo on the left side of label above the “1” and “2”.
-Capitol oval and EMI rectangle logos along the bottom back
-UPC on the back is square in shape
Most copies came with a 2” round red sticker stating “DIGITALLY REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL BRITISH CATALOG” with the album title, cat # and Printed in U.S.A. (see photo)
Pressed at Allied Record Co as identified by what looks like a large Q (but is really a lower case "a" with a tail, Allied's logo) in the run out.
Disc comes in a clear rice-paper sleeve.
