$10,795 FOR BEATLES "PLEASE PLEASE ME" 1ST BLACK GOLD STEREO

A five-day-auction has ended, with this rare Beatles album fetching a winning-bid of *$10,795 on eBay.

The unsigned record, Please Please Me, was described by the seller as being in excellent/near mint condition, and worthy of being in a museum.
See the auction on eBayHere's an excerpt from the sellers listing, describing the condition; "This is without doubt the one of the best examples of this record anywhere in the world! The vinyl surfaces are simply stunning and the black and gold labels are as good as you will ever see. This vinyl has hardly been played and has obviously been very well cared for over the years with only the odd very faint whispy mark showing under very strong light."
Interesting side note. The records title song Please Please Me, "didn't do anything" when it was first released in America. 

Please Please Me was the debut album by the Beatles. Being in exceptional condition, it's one of those rare scarce items that only come along once in awhile.
