An original stereo pressing of the Beatles’ debut album “Please Please Me” sold for 7,552 pounds ($11,500) at an auction today in north-west England, exactly 50 years after the band released that first vinyl LP.
Presented in a frame with a set of autographs on a magazine page featuring the Fab Four, it was one of 280 lots of Beatles memorabilia being offered in an anniversary sale at Omega Auctions in Stockport, Lancashire, about 40 miles east of the group’s home city of Liverpool.
