Description
This album meets every point of identification as an authentic version-one issue (according to the awesome website RareBeatles.com). The record has some scuffs and scratches but I played it through with no skips and I didn’t notice background noise. I am certainly not an audiophile so it is being sold as-is by visual inspection and according to the photos. The cover (glossy both sides) shows some wear with various scuffs and some small seam-splits and small areas where there is paper loss but all in all it is a pretty decent example. The back of the cover has two columns of titles with the two titles Love Me Do and PS I Love You. Inside, both glue flaps measure ¼”. On the record label, The Beatles and Introducing the Beatles are above the spindle hole. The run off (dead wax) is within the measurements of an authentic (just under 1”, and the dead wax has all the correct dead wax/run-off/matrix identifiers: (the words) AUDIO MATRIX and the letters “MR” inside a circle on both sides, the numbers 63-3402 and (triangle shape followed by) 5702 on side one. Side two has numbers 63-3403 and (triangle shape followed by) 5702 X. I also see the numbers 6-29-63 on side two. The inside sleeve is plain white. The former owner wrote her name in ink on the label on both sides. There you have it.
See photos for condition and feel free to ask questions. I will be happy to combine shipping for multiple auctions.
Check the shipping calculator for shipping options and, should you be the winner, be sure to read the invoice thoroughly for all shipping options. Ebay’s invoice will put my top shipping option in the shipping field as a default which is usually Priority Mail. In some cases Parcel Post will be cheaper (but take longer to deliver) so please be aware of your options. Shipping weights and package sizes are estimated, as I package the items after auction ends. The reason is that I may have multiple item winners and I will combine the items to save on postage. If excess postage is charged I will refund overage. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!Ebay requires that I pre-fill in the shipping weight and package size to list this item. I package my items after they are sold as I sometimes have multiple items to a winner. The weights I use are, somewhat, estimated. If there is an overpayment in shipping charges, rest assured that I will refund the difference.
If there is a concern regarding the amount quoted in my invoice, please contact me and I will recalculate the packaged item and send you a revised invoice.
I sometimes will forget to re-do the package size or weight from a previous listing for the shipping calculator so if you think the quote in this listing is too high please contact me to confirm that the info is correct. This has happened to me a couple of times and I am very grateful to have it brought to my attention.
I pride myself in my feedback score and the very positive remarks I have in regards to swiftness in getting my items out and the care I take in securely packaging my items.
Please contact me with any problems before leaving a less than perfect star rating in all categories. Even though it may seem that a four star rating is “good”, Ebay penalizes seller’s scores for less than perfect. Ebay will tell you, the buyer, that a rating of 4 stars (4.0 rating) is good but will suspend my selling rights if my average falls below 4.3. They are setting up sellers with unrealistic and unachievable minimums, thereby lowering seller’s rankings in searches and not qualifying for discounted seller’s fees. Even though you are told 4 is good, it is really bad for me so please consider your star grading seriously before you leave a feedback for me or any seller. If my customers have an issue, I beg that they contact me to resolve it. I am very eager to please. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
I almost always send my invoices the morning after the auction ends. I try to get paid items out ASAP but can’t always as I have other responsibilities. If there will be a delay in shipping I will notify you.
NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS (OUTSIDE USA) I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS LOST IN DELIVERY OR FOR ANY DELAYS DUE TO POST OFFICE AND CUSTOMS HANDLING. DUTY FEES MAY BE INCURRED SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS AND CHECK YOUR LOCAL CUSTOMS POLICIES BEFORE BIDDING. I MAIL MY PACKAGES PROMPTLY AND CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST ITEMS (SORRY). THIS RARELY HAPPENS (I am told) AND HASN’T HAPPENED TO ME YET (NOTE THE FEEDBACK). I CANNOT GIVE REFUNDS FOR LOST ITEMS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SHIPPING INFORMATION REGISTERED WITH EBAY AND PAY PAL IS CORRECT, THIS IS THE INFORMATION I USE TO SHIP. I WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENSURE YOUR ITEM GETS TO YOU.price rating
