BEATLES "PAPERBACK" 1966 SOLID CENTRE "CONTRACT PRESS"

	£		188
	$		249

Description

A REAL ODDITY UP FOR GRABS:

ARTIST: THE BEATLES

TITLE: PAPERBACK WRITER / RAIN

YEAR: 1966 (1967 PRESSING?)

LABEL: PARLOPHONE R5452

VINYL: EXCELLENT, A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS ON VINYL

SLEEVE: VG - CORRECT COMPANY SLEEVE

THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THESE, THIS LOOKS LIKE A 1967 CONTRACT PRESSING BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY INFO ON THE 45.

IT HAS A SOLID CENTRE

THERE IS NO BOXED "EMI" LOGO ON LABEL, CONFIRMING IT AS A 1960'S PRESSING. "THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD" AND "SOLD IN UK" BLURB ARE ALL ON LABEL. IT HAS A RIDGED BAND LIKE ALL 1960'S PRESSINGS.

THERE IS NO "KT" TAX CODE STAMPED ON THE CENTRE.

MATRIX NUMBER STAMPED ON DEAD WAX IS 7XCE 18380-2 / 7XCE 18381-2. "KT" ALSO STAMPED IN RUNOUT GROOVE.

I HAVE AN INKLING THIS COULD BE A CBS PRESSING. THE EDGE IS TAPERED / SHARP RATHER THAN FLAT LIKE ALL OF MY EMI SINGLES FROM 1967 WHICH I HAVE COMPARED THIS 45 WITH.

*** PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS MY HOBBY, NOT MY FULL TIME JOB, I ALSO WORK 6 DAYS A WEEK. I ALWAYS TRY TO GET RECORDS SENT OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, USUALLY WITHIN TWO - THREE DAYS OF RECIEVING PAYMENT, BUT PLEASE DON'T START CHASING ME FOR YOUR RECORDS ABOUT ONE DAY AFTER YOU'VE BOUGHT THEM!!! CHEERS! ***

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....P.L.E.A.S.E. DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HONOUR IT. IT IS A PAIN IN THE A*** FOR ME AND BIDDERS WHO REALLY WANT THE ITEMS. I AM NOT A DEALER, BUT A COLLECTOR MYSELF, SO IT COSTS ME PERSONALLY! I ALWAYS LEAVE BAD FEEDBACK AND REPORT NON-PAYERS TO eBAY SO PLEASE DON'T DO IT. TO ALL THE DECENT BIDDERS OUT THERE (THATS NEARLY ALL OF YOU!) GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
