Comments

Released in mono on 180-gram vinyl LPs, newly mastered from the original analogue master tapes and with replicated artwork and packaging. Also included a pamphlet with track listing, album credits, details on the cutting process, and an advertisement for the Cirque du Soleil LOVE show in Las Vegas. Due to deterioration over time, an analogue tape copy was made of the original analogue master tape to cut the album from, as detailed in the included pamphlet: "Working with the master tapes of Please Please Me was challenging, because adhesive used to make the original edits had seeped onto adjacent layers of recording tape. When the master was played, layers of glue and oxide accumulated on the tape machine playback head causing a loss of higher frequencies in the music. Cutting a record is a continuous process so it was not possible to stop in order to clean the tape head. There was also a significant risk of damaging the master tape during playback so it was decided to transfer music tracks individually to create a new analogue cutting master for this release on vinyl."
