This is a US vinyl 7" EP from 1964 on Capitol EAP 1-2121.    It plays at 45 RPM and has a large center hole.       It comes in it's original hard cardboard picture cover.     

The songs are : Roll Over Beethoven, All My Loving, This Boy, and Please Mister Postman.

This is the West Coast pressing.      In Bruce Spizer's Beatles guides the cover is CAPEP 2121.PS1B.     The record is CAPEP 2121.O1B.     The record label is green and 'Records' is printed under the Capitol logo.   

Condition :   Picture Cover : VG-  /  Record : VG-  

The vinyl looks VG- and it plays VG.  There are lots of handling marks and paper marks from going in and out of the cover.    There is a shadow in the grooves on side two that looks bad, but plays great.     It plays with no skips or pops, but has light background static.     The labels are clean.    The picture cover is VG-.      It has no writing, seam splits, or ring wear.     But it does have seam wear on the top and bottom seams.   All four corners have wear and there are big bends on the top right and bottom right corners.  

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.       I started selling in Goldmine in 1985.          I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.     And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.    I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.

Packaging :

I take great on every package and I do each one personally.      I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard.      Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard.     Together they are very strong and unbendable.   ( Even the postmen comment on how strong this cardboard is ! )       I always remove the record from the picture sleeve and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve.      The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides.   

Postage :     8 Ounces

You have to pay for the postage.    I pre-weigh every package, so that you pay the exact amount the post office charges.   There are NO handling charges.      This record will weigh 8 ounces when ready to ship.      US winners can choose between US First Class or Media Mail.    I will print postage though Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the tracking number.    Overseas winners will get shipping by First Class Mail International.        I will print postage through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number.      I will send your record as soon as you pay. (same day if before 1 PM and next day if after 1 PM : Monday thru Saturday)  

I will combine postage if you win more than one record.    If you do win more than one record, please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package. 

Serious Bidders Only :   

Serious bidders only.    If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid.     I expect payment within three days, but will gladly wait five days, if you contact me.      I no longer accept bids from buyers that have more than two strikes against them.     I do not hold records to fill a box.
