	£		79
	$		105

I have been Collecting Beatles Records & Original Memorabilia for over 45 years.  Due to my continued Poor health I have reluctantly decided to sell various quality records  from My Collection
 All my offerings will be mostly UPGRADE QUALITY  and FIRST PRESSINGS           And are offered with  an AUDIO REPORT after a very careful play of the entire disc.
I will only be listing ONE or TWO quality records at a time.
My Gradings are very STRICTLY IN LINE WITH THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE.
All Photographs are of the actual items being offered.

This is a simply superb example of this Very Collectable Double “A” Sided LIMITTED EDITION Picture Sleeve Single. It is a  UK FIRST PRESSING released in February 1967 and is very hard to find In this superb UPGRADE Condition
Titles ; Strawberry Fields Forever  /  Penny Lane.
Catalogue No;        R 5570
Matrix Nos;            7 XCE 18415 – 1,     &  7 XCE 18416 – 2.
Mothers / Stampers;         5 RA,   &    4 MR.
Both labels carry the ‘ Sold in UK…’Text and have ‘The Gramaphone Co….’ Rim Texts. The KT Tax Code is visible to the centre of the ‘Penny Lane’ label. The disc is housed in its ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION FULL COLOUR UK Printed Paper Picture Sleeve.
CONDITION
DISC LABELS;         * NEAR MINT *,      * NEAR MINT *
Both labels are in superb unworn condition, all the silver lettering is AS NEW. UNDER MY DOUBLE HALOGEN LAMP, there are just a  very few light spindle  Trails and just the very tiniest of spindle hole wear, inside the spindle hole still retains Most of its original balck colour.

DISC VISUAL;    ( IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT )    * MINT *   * MINT *                               ( UNDER DOUBLE HALOGEN )   * MINT *    * MINT- *
The PRISTINE , Deep gloss sheen surfaces are simply stunning Again under my Double Halogen Lamp,. On the ‘Strawberry Fields ‘ side I could detect NO MARKS WHATSOEVER not even Any hairlines of any kind. On the ‘ Penny Lane  ‘ side I could detect ONLY ONE NON-FEELABLE VERY SMALL MARK, Otherwise I would have graded both sides as MINT.
DISC AUDIO ;      SIMPLY FLAWLESS - * MINT * During one very careful play of both sides of the disc  I COULD NOT DETECT ANY INTERFERANCE WHATSOEVER, NO Background Or surface crackle and not even the faintest pop or click This wonderful disc can only ever have been played a couple of times IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPROVE ON THIS WONDERFUL SOUND QUALITY.

SLEEVE ;      * EX ++ *
This very delicate paper sleeve has survived in lovely condition. There is very light toning to some of the white areas and some very light storage crease And a very small area of foxing to the back bottom right hand corner. Ther are NO, rips, tares, seam splits, writing or stickers whatsoever.

Overall this a superb example of this ever rarer single that will undoubtedly appeal To the serious Beatles Collector, an excellent investment that can only continue to Increase in value.
