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.

STILL SEALED!!!

OLD SCARCE PRESSING ~ JAPANESE DELUXE WITH INSERT COMPLETE WITH "OBI" STRIP!

The BEATLES

\ JAPAN - Apple Records - EAS 80550

OLD/RARE and STILL SEALED (NEVER OPENED IN APPROX OVER 30 YEARS)

STILL FACTORY SEALED (for the USA import market) comes this was the HIGH QUALITY (see: AUDIOPHILE) Japan first pressing of the Apple label issue

Superior supersonic Japanese vinyl with lyrics pages insert ...with different and more tracks from the USA press....Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike. In the 1960s Toshiba pioneered top quality red vinyl pressings using their trademark ‘Ever-Clean’ process this utilised a special ingredient intended to prevent the build-up of static electricity on the vinyl. Japanese pressings are synonymous with quality - the vinyl shines like no other vinyl - everything about their releases feels special. When US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high quality pressings the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world and, in addition, they are beautifully presented, their covers usually printed on better quality heavy stock paper and often including a bonus lyric insert with dual language Japanese & English text.

This is a NICE collectible that is not getting any easier to find...future investment item....

Includes the all important original outer "OBI" strip to the pressing... and fold out lyrics insert <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> In 1963 four lads from Liverpool, UK recorded an album at Abbey Rd which changed pop history...gone were proffessional song writers who sat in office`s writing nice middle class boy meet girl 3 minute singles... THE BEATLES wrote played and sang working class rough and ready rock n roll ... this small ripple soon became a tidal wave around the world. Once their first 45 "Please Please Me" rocketed to number one, the Beatles rushed to deliver a debut album, bashing out it out in a day. 47 years after its release, the album still sounds fresh, precisely because of its intense origins. As the songs rush past, it's easy to get wrapped up in the sound of the record itself without realizing how the album effectively summarizes the band's eclectic influences. Naturally, the influences shine through their covers, all of which are unconventional and illustrate the group's superior taste. There's a love of girl groups, vocal harmonies, sophisticated popcraft, R&B and hard-driving rock & roll, which is enough to make Please Please Me impressive, but what makes it astonishing is how these elements converge in the originals. "I Saw Here Standing There" is one of their best rockers, yet it has surprising harmonies and melodic progressions. "Misery" and "There's a Place" grow out of the girl group tradition without being tied to it. A few of their originals, such as "Do You Want to Know a Secret" and the pleasantly light "PS I Love You," have dated slightly, but endearingly so, since they're infused with cheerful innocence and enthusiasm. And there is an innocence to Please Please Me. The Beatles may have played notoriously rough dives in Hamburg, but the only way you could tell that on their first album was how the constant gigging turned the group into a tight, professional band that could run through their set list at the drop of a hat with boundless energy. It's no surprise that Lennon had shouted himself hoarse by the end of the session, barely getting through "Twist and Shout," the most famous single-take in rock history. He simply got caught up in the music, just like generations of listeners did...
