 New Zealand HMV Pressed Hey Jude : CPCS 106

This is a rare 1st pressing from New Zealand pressed by HMV NZ for Parlophone/EMI. The label has the dark green background with green apple and states pressed by His Masters Voice (NZ) Ltd. The NZ stampers were cut from the UK mothers hence carry the UK matrix of YEEX  150-1 and YEEX7 151-1.  Very much like the UK 1st issue this NZ 1st press comes with its original black die cut inner sleeve. Also as with first pressings from this time the vinyl is thicker and weighs approx 150grams and the sleeve has 3 tabs on the back making it a flipback... Laminated front sleeve with non-laminated rear sleeve. No writing on the sleeve or labels. No seam splits !  These have become very rare in New Zealand and are very hard to find in decent condition. 

Condition:

DISC: VG+ (Fine hairline marks / paper hairlines from removal from sleeve with no liner. 1 or 2 minor scuffs - no deep scratches. 

SLEEVE: VG  (General signs of use- some light corner wear as is to be expected. Laminate is nice and in tact- spine is fully legible and no seam splits. Light ring wear. A very small tear on rear opening (see last picture) approx 0.8cm- if not for this small tear sleeve would grade as VG+ or EX.  Still lovely to me ! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use the UK Record Collector grading system. I grade conservatively to avoid disappointment.     I don't use the grading MINT ! I rarely ever use the grading Near mint (maybe only for sealed vinyl or unplayed /new discs). My EX+ is often another's NM!

1. I always remove the disc from the sleeve when packing.

2. I use recycled packaging.

3. Please make payment within 3 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. You agree not to claim via Paypal until NZ post have finished and concluded their investigation should this arise. 

**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 ? Please drop me an email ;)
