Beatles-Rel. 45 1970 Beaucoups of Blues No “Mfd. By Apple” on Either Side, EX!

I can’t test-play vinyl at the minute, so with that said…

 

 

**I will bet you that you’ve never seen one of these, and certainly don’t own one.  And after someone wins this copy, neither will I.  Since 1975, this is the only one I’ve ever encountered, and it’s in amazing condition.**

This is the earliest example of an Apple title without “Mfd. By Apple” on either side that I’ve come across so far.  And it’s the only copy I’ve ever seen.

This is the last rare label variation of Ringo’s “Beaucoups of Blues” 45 that I have for sale.

 

Vinyl: EX/EX.  Each side shines with 99% original gloss, like wet paint.  But that means that each side has just one or two extremely light lines which are non-feelable.

Plates: Z7/Z8.  Both sides bear the “Bell Sound” and “sf” initials, machine-stamped into the dead wax.  Machine-stamped letter “O” in the dead wax on both sides makes this copy pressed in Jacksonville.

Labels: EX/EX.  Jacksonville labels were over-glossed, so they always have tiny cracks.  So this copy does.

Sleeve: EX.  Minimal wear to both sides.  Label serrations are nearly non-existent.  Sleeve does have a light machine crease across the top, though.  NO SPLIT SEAMS.

**Note:  All 45’s ship outside of their sleeves in order not to damage the sleeve during shipment. Generic plain, white sleeves and Mylar provided.**

 

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

 

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
