Description
I am in the process of selling some of the best pieces from my collection. Having worked in the record industry since the 1960s, as a teenage plugger for Decca in the mid-60s I witnessed the birth of many of these 45s, and received the earliest copies of them. Many are promos, and there are demos and acetates aplenty. Bands represented include the Beatles, the Stones, Bowie and others, as well as legendary psychedelic one-offs.
ARTIST
The Beatles
TITLE
Hey Jude
LABEL
n/a
DATE
1968
CONDITION
Glossy, shiny, beautiful, one minor mark towards end.
COMMENTS
This was manufactured in-house at Apple / EMI for the Beatles, George Martin and a select few others to play to friends etc before it was manufactured in larger numbers. I have never heard of another copy coming up for sale. The B-side is a high-pitched tone. As far as I recall the mix is final, but I may be wrong. The run-off matrix is 7XCE - 21185 - 1, and the letters 'K T' are stamped on the label.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEED UK ORIGINAL PRESSING AND NOT A COUNTERFEIT.
PAYMENT
PAYPAL IS PREFERRED BUT UK CASH AND CHEQUES ARE ALSO WELCOME.
GOOD LUCK - AND REMEMBER: IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, WE CAN WORK IT OUT... THE BIDDER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
