The Beatles. Please Please Me. Gold & Black. Repro record label sticker. 99mm

Description: This is a reproduction of a record label (not a record), printed on a waterproof polypropylene sticker.The label reproduced is of the holy grail of Beatles records; Please Please Me on stereo gold and black Parlophone (PCS 3042). Released on March 22nd 1963, while Parlophone were transitioning to the fresher looking black and yellow label, the first 2 pressings of The Beatles debut album were on the existing gold and black label. It was released in both mono and stereo and this repro is the much rarer stereo version. It also features the "Dick James Music Co" credit. (This was changed to "Northern Songs" for the second pressing.) UV printed onto top quality polypropylene, with a gloss laminate finish, the printing quality is razor sharp. The image isn't scanned; it's lovingly recreated layer by layer. Colour-wise it doesn't quite match the original 1962 label; the black background was shinier and the gold lettering was embossed. My labels have 'process' colours, so while I've tried to accentuate the quality of the gold lettering of the original, it won't be a perfect match. Bear in mind also that there isn't an actual hole in the middle; just a printed one.Diameter is 99mm (approx 4 inch). It has a glossy finish.Strong adhesive backing; stick on a guitar case, laptop, record box, exercise book, on the side of a speaker etc. Spot your luggage immediately by sticking it on your suitcase. Not recommended for sticking over existing record labels as it may be 1mm smaller than an album label (some album labels are 99mm, some 100mm), and 14mm bigger than a single label. I also have a 100mm version (for sticking over LP record labels) and an 85mm version (for sticking over 45rpm record labels). Please check out my other listings.Beware of copycats. I have been specialising in record labels since 1999, and as with all good ideas, I now have competition. My labels are lovingly recreated layer by layer to get razor sharp text and graphics, then printed on an industrial UV printer. Competitors use scans (in a couple of cases, scans of my labels) and print on high end home printers, giving a blurry, pixelated image.Good discount - up to 40% - for buying in quantity.TO BUY MORE THAN ONE STICKER, and to benefit from only paying ONE POSTAL CHARGE, check out the varied range that I have in my ebay store, and ADD YOUR CHOICES TO YOUR BASKET before paying.
