Description
THE BEATLES...1968 OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS FAN CLUB FLEXI DISC SINGLE CAT. NO. LYN 1743/LYN 1744 FROM 1968.
THE DISC VISUALLY IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. BOUGHT SECOND HAND AND PLAYED ONLY ONCE SINCE. AS IT'S THE ONLY ONE OF IT'S TYPE I'VE EVER SEEN, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD LOOK. THERE ARE SOME SLIGHT MARKS ON THE LABEL ON SIDE 1 WHICH CAN BE SEEN ONLY UNDER LIGHT AND LOOK LIKE STAINS, BUT MAYBE FROM THE PRESSING PLANT AS THEY DO NOT CLEAN OFF (I HAVE TRIED A COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS GENTLY). THE WRITING ON THE LABEL IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT WITH SOME VERY SLIGHT RUBBING ON 'THE' OF 'THE OFFICIAL' AND 'CHRISTMAS'. THE GROOVES LOOK FINE WITH NO OBVIOUS HAIRLINE MARKS/SCRATCHES. THERE ARE A FEW SLIGHT MARKS ON THE LABEL ON SIDE 2 WHICH ARE AGE MARKS.
PLAYING IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT. SOME VERY SLIGHT SURFACE CRACKLE IN PARTS, BUT VERY CLEAR AND NO JUMPS, STICKS OR CLICKS.
THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (IN MY OPINION). THERE IS A CREASE IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN FROM THE BACK (ON THE RIGHT) BUT IS NOT REALLY VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT AND IS MINIMAL. THERE IS A VERY SMALL CREASE IN THE BOTTOM HAND CORNER ON THE BACK. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO THE WHITE BACKGROUND WHICH MAKES IT SLIGHTLY CREAMY, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW WHITE/CREAMY IT WAS WHEN RELEASED. ALSO, THE TOP HALF OF THE WHITE/CREAM BACKGROUND ON THE FRONT HAS GONE A SLIGHT SHADE DARKER THAN THE BOTTOM HALF. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY LIGHT BROWN SPOTS IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER ON THE FRONT WHICH ARE QUITE FAINT AND NOT THAT OBVIOUS. NO BAD OBVIOUS MARKS, NO BIG CREASES, NO TEARS, NO SEAM SPLITS, NO RINGWEAR.
OVERALL IN GREAT CONDITION FOR A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE BEATLES RARITY WHICH IS NOW 44 YEARS OLD.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE SUPERPIX INSERT.
DISC AND SLEEVE HAVE BEEN STORED SEPERATELY SINCE BOUGHT, AND HAVE BEEN KEPT IN 400G POLYTHENE SLEEVES.
AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF, MY RECORDS, TAPES AND CD'S HAVE BEEN STORED PROPERLY OVER THE YEARS. RECORDS WILL BE SENT OUT IN CARDBOARD MAILERS WITH INTERNAL STIFFENERS. PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE E MAIL ME. ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL AFTER SALE HAS FINISHED, PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK.
