Beatles 45 Paperback Writer SCARCE Mid-1975 Apple, “Mfd. by” on BOTH SIDES, EX!
I can’t test-play vinyl at the minute, so with that said…
(Please Note: Thank you to all who purchased a copy of my book on flash drive this Christmas Season, and for the marvelous feedback on its contents!
This flash drive will be retired for the season at the end of the month, so if you’re still one of the Watchers, please buy yours now. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until next year. Best for a Happy New Year to us all.)
The entire week was dark and snowy here, which results in dark and grainy photos. Sorry about that!
Only very recently discovered and discussed as a full run. The previously held belief was that this was not a full run, but I’ve verified all titles exist.
VERY shortly before the Oct. to Dec. 1975 “All Rights Reserved” run was issued, the catalogue was put out on the prepared backdrop labels for that run, but missing the “All Rights Reserved” disclaimer. These were only issued by the Los Angeles plant, and for only an incredibly short amount of time in the shops before the “All Rights Reserved” run landed in the bins.
Just try to complete this run if you can.
Vinyl: EX/EX. Both sides look very close to store-stock new. However; Side 1 has 3 or 4 very short, very light hairlines, and side 2 has some very light manufacturer’s defects pressed into the vinyl. 45 has a moderate warp that doesn’t affect play.
Plates: F1/G2. Machine-stamped asterisk in the dead wax makes this copy pressed in Los Angeles.
Labels: NM/EX. Side 1 label looks 1975-brand new. Side 2 label has more manufacturer’s dirt pressed into the label.
Sleeve: VG. Both sides have light fingerprints, finger divots and moderate record outdent. Back of sleeve has moderate white wear. Original price sticker still on the back sleeve. NO SPLIT SEAMS.
**Note: All 45’s ship outside of their sleeves in order not to damage the sleeve during shipment. Generic plain, white sleeves and Mylar provided.**
As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up. Thanks!)
Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!
(Please note: Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized. The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle. Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix? Thanks!)
