Description
***Please note that I am located in New Zealand and hence the postage will be £10 (£3 for each additional LP) for standard airmail (7-10 working days from NZ-> UK). Please ignore the £4.50 default figure in eBay’s system (I cannot ship for this amount).
The Beatles A Hard Day's Night ... MONO !
A true 1964 1st New Zealand pressing by HMV (His Masters Voice) on the Black/Silver Parlophone label very similar to the UK Black/Gold release 1st pressings.
NZ Cat# PMCM.1230. Disc stampers cut from UK mother hence has UK Matrix XEX 481 + XEX482 on runout grooves.
Laminated front sleeve - matt rear sleeve. Has white lettering for title (not red like most releases). Name written on sleeve in red pen. Name 'Coutts' has been etched into label side A.
Very hard to find even in NZ these days ( in any condition)
Sleeve: G+ (Laminated front sleeve - showing signs of general wear and tear- some corner wear- laminate cracking along spine. Spine has several creases/cracks- some writing has come off along spine.No tears- no splits to seams).
Disc: G (Heavy wear as expected from something this old- has many hairlines (mainly in bright light) - a few scuffs and a 2-3 deeper (audible) scratches. This is a visual grade. Expect clicks and pops and surface/audible noise if playing!)
I use the UK Record Collector grading system. I don't use the grading MINT ! I rarely ever use the grading Near mint either ! For a detailed description of the UK Record Collector gradings see: http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/VINYL-RECORD-GRADING-GUIDE?ugid=10000000001916909
I always remove the disc from the sleeve when packing.
I use recycled packaging.
Please make payment within 3 days.
Postage: Yes I can combine records !
UK/ EU/North America/Japan:
£10 then £3 for each additional LP: Standard airmail (7-10 working days). This is effectively 1st class airmail and does not provide any sort of tracking service. Insurance for loss or damage is included but claims for loss or damage can only be made through NZ Post. Therefore if the above happens it will require your co-operation as NZ Post investigates such claims and does not compensate lightly without doing there homework. If you would like a tracked courier service please ask me to get a quote for you!
South American/Italian/ Russian Federation/China : Please be prepared for long delays of up to 1-2 months for your item. This is to do with the postal service at your end not mine. I have had difficulties with clients in the above areas asking where there item is after 2 weeks. Well it is usually sitting in a depot/warehouse in your country until customs or some bureaucrat processes it. I don’t mean to cause any offence but please understand the only way around this is for you to pay for a courier service which has tracking details and is fast 4-6days. This is expensive (from £22-30) so please ask me if you want this.
Russian Federation: Unfortunately the only service available to Russian Federation clients is standard/1st class airmail- the Russian postal system will not allow for non business-business items to be couriered i.e. they will only deliver to a commercial business address.
Any questions- drop me an email.
