Description
AFTER A MONTH'S BREAK I'M BACK WITH MORE GREAT PROMO ITEMS FROM A COLLECTION ORIGINALLY OWNED BY A DISC JOCKEY WHO WORKED IN RADIO IN WEST VIRGINIA AND GEORGIA DURING THE MID 1960s, THEN WENT TO WORK AT WOR-FM AND WABC-FM IN NEW YORK CITY DURING THE LATER 1960s - KEEP WATCHING MY AUCTIONS FOR MORE TOP QUALITY ROCK ITEMS!
This is a lot consisting of TWO ORIGINAL 1964 U.S. CAPITOL RECORDS 7" 45s IN THEIR ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVES containing the Beatles songs titled 'A Hard Day's Night'/'I Should Have Known Better'. Both are Capitol Records U.S. catalog number 5222.
As can be seen in my accompanying images, one 45 and sleeve in this lot is a 'west coast' issue, with notched and uneven top edges on the picture sleeve and stacked song title print on the record, while the other 45 and sleeve in this lot is an 'east coast' issue, with unnotched and even top edges on the picture sleeve and unstacked song title print on the record. The tint of the picture of the Beatles on these sleeves also varies slightly between the two issues - the 'west coast' picture has a darker overall tint than does the 'east coast' sleeve.
Condition aspects are as follows:
WEST COAST 45: Condition of record is a high VG+ with just a very few light surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play. One label has a very slight and small worn spot where there is also a little extremely light writing, labels have no other real flaws. Condition of picture sleeve is also VG+ with a couple of small staple holes and a small tear at one corner, a few slight wrinkles, some very small and light staining in one area, a small amount of ring and contact wear, and a little bit of wear along the edges. Picture sleeve has no water damage, splits, writing, or stickers.
EAST COAST 45: Condition of record is a high VG+ with just a very few light surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play. Labels have no real flaws. Condition of picture sleeve is also VG+ with some age discoloration on the white areas, a few slight wrinkles, some ring and contact wear, and a little bit of wear along the edges, mainly the top edge. Picture sleeve has no water damage, splits, tears, writing, or stickers.
Please e-mail me with any questions. This lot would be the ideal way to add both versions of this 45 and picture sleeve to your Beatles record collection! First class mail postage within the U.S. is $4.00. I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (12.50) AND GERMANY is $15.50 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!! PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY. I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES. BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of both 45s and sleeves if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
