Starting at D4 1944, D5 1945, D6 1946, D7 1947, D8 1948, D9 1949, E0 1950, E1 1951, E2 1952, E3 1953, E4 1954, F2 1955, G2 1956, H2 1957, J2 1958, K2 1959, L2 1960, M5PW 1961, NO7W 1962, all sorts of variants from here: PPKM 1963, RK3M 1964, SPKM 1965, T4KM 1966, UPKM 1967, X2PW 1968, Y 1969, ZWKM 1970, AGBKS 1971, B 1972, C 1973. (End.) (Where the matrix code doesn't correspond with the date on the label or the catalogue number sequence, it has to be an earlier recording issued later on 7" 45 rpm.
(QKAW was a United Artists Soundtrack recording.)       
Will be well packaged for full protection in transit.      
Payment by PayPal preferred but not in the case of local collection.        * I disagree with Ebay's - and Goldmine's and Record Collector's - definitions of condition grades for records.  It is about time true definitions were settled.  I shall set out my own here : Excellent means excellent.  Nothing to take away the delight of receiving and playing the record. (I rarely use this grade as it is difficult to guarantee 100%.) Very Good means very good.  Light surface marks are allowable provided they do not interrupt listening pleasure.  Anything less cannot be called very good. Good really means good (as opposed to those other definitions!).  Surface scratches are allowable provided they do not cause unpleasant listening experience. Fairly Good is acceptable on the understanding that this is an item that has suffered over time from carelessness but still should be playable with no hangups. (I have received so many items labelled Ex-, vg++ and suchlike which I would grade as 'Fairly Good', if that.  I am equally strict with grading my own collection.)        (And what the hell is this "Inlay" that Ebay insists on?)                   *************************************** ALSO STILL AVAILABLE - BUY ONE TODAY ! MY NEW BOOK PUBLISHED INDEPENDENTLY (in December 2021). "VINYL DAVE'S BOOK OF FAVOURITE LABELS" A beautifully printed full-colour stamp catalogue gave me the idea about 10 years ago.  I thought, wouldn't it be good if....  But, as I soon realised, British record labels are so BORING!!  Decca, Columbia, Brunswick, Polydor, they kept the same label design for decades!  The idea kept coming back to me. And gradually this book evolved - (101 reasons / excuses for collecting records.) Numbered limited edition. (See my other listings for a detailed preview.)      272 pages packed with very nearly a thousand labels throughout the 20th Century, A & Ms to Zonophones, dating from a 7-inch Berliner disc of 1899 to the Last 78s, from the First 45s to a black label juke box single of the 1990s.      Back in the 1960s Auntie Beeb was forced to accept the sheer popularity of the vinyl 45 and suddenly had to employ - the horror ! - disc jockeys ... You may remember the "oldies" that we all loved or you may be just discovering an unforgettable magical Golden Age - which answers, I hope, the question : "Why would anyone want to publish a book of record labels?"        Does it really matter if 45s get into the wrong sleeves? Or if wrong dates are printed on the labels? Do computers make good radio programmers? How many foreign languages hit the U.K. charts? What became of the original White Christmas? And what did happen to the Beatles' first Parlophone single?         (Their second made Number One in New Musical Express - therefore also Radio Luxembourg (2 wks.) ; Melody Maker - so also Daily Mirror and others (2 wks.), B.B.C.'s Pick Of The Pops (3 wks.), also Disc (2 wks.), Pop Weekly (2 wks.) as well as E.M.I.'s own chart and of course Mersey Beat.  But not Record Retailer which is generally agreed to be the least reliable for the 1960s (used by Record Mirror and Guinness). Awarded a Silver Disc for 250,000 sales in April 1963.)      NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION, LARGE FORMAT (approx. A4) and more than 1 kg. Original price was £26.00 + £3.00 p & p.
