ATTENTION BEATLES,APPLE LABEL AND RARE LATE 1960s MONO LP COLLECTORS

JACKIE LOMAX "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?"

PRODUCED BY GEORGE HARRISON.

GEORGE,PAUL AND RINGO ALL PLAY ON THE ALBUM AND AS SUCH IS OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE TO ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTOR! 

APCOR 6-SOLID BEEFY MONO MIXES,THICK VINYL AND A-1/B-1 MATRIXES-EARLIEST POSSIBLE!

SOLD IN THE UK TEXT-SOON TO BE ENDED ON LATER APPLE ALBUMS THAT FOLLOWED!

MEGA RARE TO FIND IN MONO!

I DON'T RECALL EVER FINDING ONE BEFORE!!

THERE WAS A SPECIAL INNER SLEEVE WITH SOME COPIES BUT THIS ONE JUST HAS THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE WITH CURVED EDGES AND THE APPLE RECORDINGS TEXT AT THE BOTTOM. 

THE SINGER/SONGWRITER'S CLASSIC 1969 LP,THE VERY FIRST MONO PRESSING WHICH IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION,WITH A FEW MINOR SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THE ODD ISOLATED POP BUT NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS,NO SURFACE SWISHES!

BETTER THAN VG+ BUT NOT QUITE EXCELLENT HENCE THE NEAR EXCELLENT GRADING! 

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS-A NICE LAMINATED FRONT AND BACK COVER WITH  EFW CREASES BUT NO RIPS,REPAIRS OR STAINING!

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS SLIGHT GLARE IN THE PHOTOS AS THE LAMINATION TENDS TO CAUSE A REFLECTION! 

JUST TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS PRESSING IS SO SPECIAL AND RARE!

THIS LP WAS NOT A BIG SELLER IN 1969 AND THOSE THAT WERE SOLD SO OFTEN WOULD BE BADLY DAMAGED AFTER REPEATED PLAYS.

NATURALLY MOST MONO COPIES BOUGHT WERE USUALLY PLAYED ON VERY OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH HARDLY ANY SURVIVING-THIS COPY HAS HAD A FEW PLAYS  BUT IT PLAYS GREAT WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-A TRIBUTE TO THE SUPERB MASTERING AND LOUD VOLUME CUTTING TECHNIQUES WITH AMAZING BASS+CRISPNESS-LATER REISSUES MAY NOT BE AS CLEAR WITH STAMPERS BECOMING WORN OUT!

SO OFTEN THE CASE THAT THE FIRST BATCHES GIVE A BETTER SOUND!  

I HAVE PLAYED THE LP TO CHECK FOR ANY SOUND FAULTS.THERE IS JUST A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE AT THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND IN BETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS, BUT NO NASTY CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS,NO SWISHES.

AMERICAN COLLECTORS WILL KNOW ALL TOO WELL HOW MUCH BETTER ENGLISH COPIES WERE COMPARED TO THE HISSY,BRITTLE USA ONES!!

PRODUCED BY GEORGE HARRISON WITH SIMILAR PRODUCTION SOUND AND SONGS TO THOSE ON THE BEATLES"ABBEY ROAD"AND"WHITE ALBUM"-THE TITLE TRACK REMINDS ME A BIT OF "I AM THE WALRUS"!

AN ESSENTIAL ALBUM FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE OUTPUT OF THE EARLY APPLE LABEL!

JACKIE LOMAX WAS IN THE LIVERPOOL BEAT GROUP,THE UNDERTAKERS AND HE WAS ONE OF GEORGE HARRISON'S FIRST ARTISTS TO BE PRODUCED WHEN THE BEATLES WERE ABOUT TO BREAK UP. 

******************************************************************** 

THE MAJORITY OF 1969 MONO PRESSINGS WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD USE 1960s EQUIPMENT WAS QUITE CRUDE-HEAVY TONEARMS AND MANY BUYERS UNAWARE OF THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STYLI ON A REGULAR BASIS.BY 1969 THE MAJORITY HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO WITH EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEW PLAYERS STEREO COMPATABLE.

ALL RECORD COMPANIES WERE KEEN TO PHASE OUT THE MONOS AND WITHIN A YEAR OF THIS LPs ISSUE BEGAN A HUGE MONO DELETION CAMPAIGN AND OF COURSE WITHIN WEEKS OF THIS LP BEING ISSUED APPLE ONLY RELEASED STEREO EDITIONS OF THE ALBUMS THAT FOLLOWED!!

IN 1969 MONO EDITIONS OF MANY ALBUMS WERE OFTEN ONLY OBTAINED BY RECORD SHOPS TO SPECIAL ORDER-FAR FEWER WERE MADE!!! 

A REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE INCLUDING FREE RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE TO THE UK!

EUROPE £5 REST OF THE WORLD £8

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.

A BEATLES COMPLETISTS COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A  BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS IN MONO!

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE  LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER 42 YEARS AGO.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY-THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

THIS IS ABOUT THE ONLY MONO COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 25  YEARS AS A DEALER.

CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE  YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE THICK UK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO LOUD CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO MAJOR DISTORTION!

Just how many were preserved like this one??!!!!!!  

The VINYL is THICK,Superb,Rich,warm and full of bass, with a natural warmth from 42 YEARS AGO!

In the 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

MOST FANS WERE OFTEN USING DREADFUL EQUIPMENT! 

The 1960s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TO ENSURE ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear BEATLES RELATED MUSIC and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is hardly any spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often LATER reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

 THE LP AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £25 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. 

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT! 

Postage is FREE AND RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK -2ND CLASS.SOLID PACKING FAR BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF SELLERS-LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK FOR PROOF! YOU WILL GET IT IN FINE SHAPE!!
