A LOVELY COPY OF A UK MEGA RARE MONO WITHOUT THE " SOLID IN UK ... " TEXT ON THE LABELS, A VARIATION HARDLY EVEN SEEN IN STEREO LET ALONE in MONO .. ....L@@K

EMI REMOVED THE " SOLD IN UK .. " TEXT FROM THEIR LABELS AROUND JULY/AUGUST 1969 AND PARLOPHONE THEN SWITCHED FROM THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABEL TO THE ONE BOX EMI LABEL AROUND JANUARY 1970 . SO THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS WERE PARLOPHONE WERE PRESSING RECORDS WITH YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS BUT WITHOUT THE SOLD IN UK TEXT ON THEM.

OF COURSE AT THIS TIME UK RECORD COMPANIES HAD ALL BUT PHASED OUT MONO ISSUES ( TO DISSAPEAR COMPLETELY BY EARLY 1970 ) SO EVEN THOUGH STEREO COPIES OF THIS LABEL VARIANT ARE COMPARITIVELY RARE, MONO ONES LIKE THIS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND HARDLY EVER CROP UP FOR SALE..

INDEED THEY ARE PROBABLY JUST AS RARE AS THE MONO 1 BOX EMI PEPPERS !!

( AND EVEN THOUGH STANDARD STEREO YELLOW/BLACK PEPPERS ARE ACTUALLY PROBABLY RARER THAN THE MONOS, BECAUSE THE BEATLES WERE INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN THE MONO MIX AND BECAUSE IT IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO MIX WHICH IS THE MIX MOST OF US ARE MOST FAMILAIR WITH, MONO COPIES ARE MORE SOUGHT AFTER ANYWAY ).

                                               GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !!

VINYL VISUAL : AMAZINGLY RETAINS  IT'S FIRST PRESSED SHINE WHICH IS SO RARE WITH PEPPERS DUE PROBABLY TO THE INNOVATIVE LACK OF TRACK BANDING WHICH SEEMS TO DULL THE VINYL, THIS ONE IS NOT AND DISPLAYS ONLY LIGHT HAIRLINES MOSTLY ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT HALOGEN LAMP, GRADES EX-

DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you.

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ, 

COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE HAS RECENTLY INCREASED SO FOR A SINGLE LP IS NOW USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...EACH ADDITIONAL LP SENT COMBINED WITH THIS PLEASE ADD G 2.00 PER EXTRA DISC
