       ****PLEASE KINDLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFO BEFORE THE RECORD DETAILS*****

I have entered a detailed description below but firstly I would like to highlight a few points to any potential buyers.

I am currently thinning out my collection created over many years including LPs, EPs and singles, mostly Beatles and related, many original presses so please feel free to check out my other items listed, items so there should be something there to interest you if Beatles is your thing.

I have collected records on and off for over 30 years, and the introduction of eBay has provided a valuable medium for collector and sellers alike, however fundamentally it does mean you are purchasing blind up to a point and certainly rely on the description being accurate and detailed, specifically with an item such as vinyl, as a result I always endeavour to enter as detailed a description as possible, err on the side of caution and leave nothing to chance, as a result it may appear that the record actually has more issues than normal,this is my attempt to offer as much piece of mind as possible.

Where reasonably possible, and when time allows I will test play the record all the way through at high volume on a very high quality system and while it's not practical to play all the records I list all the way through, where time won't allow a full play of the record, I will at least play random tracks and and where I visually detect any deep scratches or marks to see if they affect play, in addition I also always play various places in between tracks which is the best test of any distortion or issues. I will remark in the description if I have played the entire record for soundness or as above sample random tracks

All my grading's are based on that given in the Record Collector Rare Record Guide and for further piece of mind offer the following refund policy:

I would very much like to retain, and indeed add to my 100% feedback rating so please In the unlikely event any purchaser of any item from me feels that the item is not as described and/or is unhappy with the item, provided I am advised of the issue within 7 days of receipt of the item I will refund in full with no arguments once I have received the item back including a refund for second class recorded post. Please contact me for any issues that you have rather than just leave a negative rating, I am open and willing to sort any issues out to every ones satisfaction, again a s a buyer for a long time myself I know how disappointing it can be if things are not as they appear once received, in addition if their is any item you wish to query or any aspect ot the item you want more info on again contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions where I can. 

All records will be carefully packaged in a polythene sleeve with rigid card record mailers, cardboard stiffeners, and the record removed from the sleeve to avoid further ring wear during dispatch, in addition to which all records will be receive a deep clean from a VPI specialist vacuum record cleaner to remove any dust and deposits, so play and visual condition described for these records can only improve once listed and purchased. All LP are mailed recorded second class, to enable me to to track the item should the need arise and also provide insurance for any losses or damage, EPs and singles are mailed first class.

To minimise shipping costs for international buyers I post standard airmail, if however for added piece of mind, to enable the item to be tracked you wish to consider the option of airmail signed for please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to quote you a revised shipping cost for this service.

Combined postage discounts available for multiple purchases please contact me for rates.

I am also always interested in purchasing individual items or collections so if you have ones you wish to sell or even a collection please feel free to get in touch, I also offer a consignment service to market and sell individual items or indeed collections so again if this is of interest to you please feel free to contact me.

Ok sorry about that, rant over just wanted to make it clear where I'm coming from, description of the record below.

MATRIX NUMBERS - XEX 549-2/550-2

STAMPERS - RAH 48/RDG 4

COVER - EX- front laminated panel 4 light thumbnail shaped crease marks in the laminate toward's the opening edge, with one or two handling creases and minor ringwear visible, there is a mark to top right hand corner only visible at a certain angle approx 1.5cm, clearly someone has removed a label at one point. Rear panel, the tri fold laminated flipbacks remain sharp and tight with age browning toward the opening edge and light general rub wear marking. The spine has misshaped very slightly with storage but no rubwear, the bottom edge has light storage wear but none to the top edge, the opening edges have some storage wear. Overall however despite the above which aren't major issues by any means the structure of the sleeve remains fully intact and good looking

INNER SLEEVE/INSERTS - EX 'Emitex die cut sepia lined inner sleeve retains it's shape and crispness with minor age browning and handling creases, no splits or writing marks.

LABELS - EX/EX-  A few light spindle trails to each of the yellow and black Parlophone labels, with the KT tax code clearly visible to side 1, light 5mm white smudge mark to side 2 label just outside inner ring at 9 o.clock but really not  a major issue

VINYL VISUAL EX/EX  Disc weight -140gm Careful inspection of both sides of the record reveal the odd light wispy paper sleeve marks, high quality EMI vinyl with deep gloss shine still evident. 

VINYL PLAY EX/EX I test played random tracks throughout and in between tracks at high volume on my very unforgiving Bang and Olufsen all tracks I played were crisp and clear with only the very light static crackle you would expect from a record of this age, the record played totally flat with no warping.

I would suspect apart from my random test play, this record has received only a few careful plays from new and has been well looked after.

Getting harder to find in this condition, don't miss out, low starting bid so everyone can have a go

AGAIN ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING
