A rare copy of The Beatles’ first album Please Please Me found in an Oxfam shop has raised more than £1,300 for the charity’s Haiti appeal. The record one of only 300 original presssings was discovered in a carrier bag of junk handed in by an anonymus donor in Liverpool. It was sold on eBay to a collector in Hampshire. Please Please Me hit the top of the UK album charts in May 1963 and remained there for 30 weeks. The first pressing was released by Parlophone and is one of the most sought-after items among collectors.
