We usually have at least 30 plus Beatles records listed, both as an auction and Fixed Price with MakeOffer option.
NOTES
The first Beatles album that featured all original, own compositions as a beautiful first press! It's Label Variation A (where the line Songs from the film A Hard Day’s Night is printed a lill bolder on the label than on variation B).
KT Tax Stamp sits on Side A, -3N / -3N matricies. Copy is made of solid heavy vinyl of 170 grams!, and thus the record's sound quality is a highlight and ranks EXCELLENT PLUS. You are bidding on an indeed very nice, clean copy. Comes complete with original USE EMITEX inner sleeve.
Please note that the American UNITED ARTISTS's release, which also financed the Fab Four's first movie (U.S., June 26, 1964, UNITED ARTISTS UAL 3366 -mono-, UAS 6366 -stereo-), features some earlier mono-mixes of some of the songs that are not available on the British mono album. Same applies to the American album Something New (U.S. July 20, 1964, Capitol T 2108 -mono-, ST 2108 -stereo-), but not to the very rare German release of Something New (Germany, September 10, 1964, Green Odeon O 83756 -mono-, R/W/G Odeon ST[M]O 83756 -stereo-, EXPORT only).
We understand that our asking price is everything but a bargain (across all of our listings). However, we kindly ask you to refrain from sending "50-percent-offers". At beabay, we possess an in-depth knowledge of Beatles Vinyl, meaning our prices have been carefully chosen and placed. Dozens of international collectors trust in this and confirmed their 100-percent-satisfaction - some of them we copied later in this listing.
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.
SIMULTANEOUS RECORD SALES
Please note that we offer all of our records on different online platforms as well as thru home depot sales simultaneously. We thereby reserve the right to cancel a listing without prior notice and/or justification, namely when a record has been sold and is no longer available.

"USE EMITEX" Label Side A VG+ Label Side B VG+ Vinyl Side A VG+ Vinyl Side B VG+ Audio Grading Side A EX+ Side B EX+ We use superb vinyl equipment with its heart being an Ortofon real-diamond system and gold plated contacts all around.
If available, audible checks were performed with an ORTOFON Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier, using a Sennheiser 350 headset. Remarks As for the Cover and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after, which are legal part of this auction.
Spine is 100 percent readable.
The front laminated cover is completely glossy, made of strong cardboard. Absolutely clean insertion slot, no cuts, nothing. Very bright White colors. Cover's back side shows ring wear and yellows. Seam split at bottom Scuffed edges, hence EX/VG.
Both labels are absolutely clean. No writings, stains, tears, or spots. Some spindle hole wear.

Regarding audio, plays perfectly thru, no jumps, or skips. Very few noise, a clear EXCELLENT PLUS. Clean starts on both sides.
Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.

1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)
- Grading Every record has been carefully graded visually by ourselves. Most records are audio-graded, too. We grade NM/NM-, EX+/EX/EX-, VG+/VG/VG-.
- Shipping & Handling is FREE, provided you live on planet earth. To us, it doesn't matter where records find a new home, Paris, Tokyo, NYC, or Melbourne.
- Dispatch Time We usually prepare shipping immediately upon cleared payment. As a cushion space, however, shipping is guaranteed within two business days.
- Shipping Time ...is something that we do not have any influence on, please keep that in mind when applying feedback. As a rule of thumb, times from registering with the carrier until delivery at buyer's home may be as follows: Asia 7 thru 10 days. U.K. one week. U.S. 7 thru 10 days. South America 10 thru 14 days. Europe 4 thru 7 days. Germany 24 thru 48 hours. However, please keep in mind that these times are estimates only and may vary among different carriers.
- Payment is expected within 48 hours after an auction's end, unless arranged differently prior to bidding. We accept PayPal or IBAN (SEPA) bank transfer only.
A Note On Returns / Return Policy
We are two (crazy?) regular average women (Ginger & Fleur Isabell) who love Beatles, thus collecting their records, we're no dealers. We buy vinyl to acquire better copies of what we have already, then selling our second, third, fourth copies. We are classic collectors and hence describe and grade what we sell to our best knowledge, possessing a very high, sophisticated level of knowledge, in particular regarding European records.
If -for whatever reason- our description doesn't turn out to be appropriate, like, for instance, a song skips or jumps, vinyl isn't flat as assured -these types of "error"-, we certainly accept a return (at buyer's expense), for a collector's satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. That certainly happened already. We know that nobody buys a record from us "just for fun". However, as a very basic rule, all of our sales are personal und final.
ALL WE TRY TO AVOID IS TO SEND RARE, VALUABLE VINYL AROUND THE GLOBE "IN VAIN", JUST TO SATISFY A PERSON'S CURIOSITY, FOR EVERY "ROUND-TRIP" IS A HUGE RISK EXPOSING THE RECORD.
