PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

RARE Original 1964 first pressing vinyl in BEST shape...and
STILL IN ORIGINAL OUTER PLASTIC WRAPPER
One of the rare, desired "BEATLES" collectibles..."Off The Beatle Track" is the title once planned for the 2nd BEATLES album.
George Martin was riding a whirlwind in 1964 -- in the midst of his second full year of success as the producer of the Beatles' music, now extended to America, he decided to avail himself of the opportunity to record his first album formally credited to him. And naturally it was an album of Beatles songs. Unfortunately, Martin wasn't shooting for posterity at the time -- it wasn't clear how long this Beatles craze would or could last -- but he did create perfectly tasteful renditions of their music. The way in which he personally resonates to the group's music is very obviously a long way from what most of the group's fans heard for themselves, and for completists and fans alike there are insights to be gained about his professional relationship to the Beatles' songs, as represented here. Given that George Martin is one of the most legendary producer/arrangers of all time, you'd be right in assuming that this is immaculately arranged and recorded. Highlights include "Don't Bother Me," whose harmonica-heavy arrangement predates Hugo Montenegro's pop version of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
The back cover is of particular interest with copies of all four Beatles autographs as well as a unique special message from The Beatles (probably Lennon with the humor involved) as well as a partial sign off "jingle" for LP purchase purposes...
