THE BEATLES
1964 FAN CLUB CHRISTMAS FLEXI NO. 2 WITH DISC IN FINAL UPGRADE CONDITION
'ANOTHER BEATLES CHRISTMAS RECORD'
HUGELY COLLECTABLE UK 7" FLEXI LYNTONE RECORDINGS LYN 757
VINYL
NEAR MINT. THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED COPY. I'VE PLAYED IT CAREFULLY ONCE TO TEST (ON LINN LP12), AND IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY. THERE IS A LITTLE USUAL FEINT 'FLEXI BACKGROUND', BUT TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THIS IS A FINAL UPGRADE QUALITY COPY. GETTING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND NOW WITH THE GATEFOLD CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER, WHICH IS ALSO IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. THE DISC LOOKS SUPERB - THE ONLY THING WORTH MENTIONING IS A TINY (MANUFACTURING) MARK AT 6 O'CLOCK THAT HAS NO BEARING ON THE PLAYBACK AT ALL.
THE PLAYBACK HAS NO FAULTS AND ALL THE BEATLE BANTER IS CLEAR AND LOUD. AS I SAID, DON'T EXPECT A HI-FI RECORDING QUALITY - THIS A FLEXI AFTER ALL, AND THERE IS THE TINIEST LOW LEVEL MANUFACTURING B/G, BUT THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS. FINAL UPGRADE DISC. I'M ALMOST TEMPTED TO KEEP THIS ONE!
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO MAJOR FAULTS. ONLY POINTS TO NOTE ARE SOME SMALL GENERAL AGE COLOURING, A LITTLE FRONT CREASING (NOT VERY NOTICEABLE ACTUALLY), AND A SMALL BROWNISH MARK ON EACH CORNER ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE - ALMOST AS THOUGH THE FLIPBACK ADHESIVE HAS SLIGHTLY COME THROUGH. THE FLIPBACKS THEMSELVES ARE IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION AND STILL ADHERED PROPERLY, WITH NO TEARS OR LIFTING. ALL THE TEXT IS CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. GREAT SLEEVE.
INSERT
THE GATEFOLD INSERT NEWSLETTER IS IN WONDERFUL EX CONDITION, WITH JUST A LITTLE CREASING TO THE OPENING EDGE, AND A COUPLE OF AGE COLOURING SPOTS, FRONT RIGHT TOP AND BOTTOM. THESE ARE SMALL AND DON'T DETRACT FROM THE SHARP FRONT PHOTO AND PRINTED SIGNATURES. INSIDE THE INSERT, APART FROM A VERY FEINT AGE TINTING, IT'S PRETTY MUCH AS IT LEFT THE PRINTERS.
LABELS
THE LABEL (DISC IS OF COURSE ONE-SIDED) IS NEAR MINT. THE DISC HAS HAD NO USE, SO ALL'S GOOD! IF I'M BEING REALLY PICKY, THERE IS THE FEINTIST HINT OF A MARK TOP RIGHT, BUT IT'S HARDLY NOTICEABLE, AND THE FACT IS THAT YOU'LL HAVE GO A LONG WAY TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF A CHRISTMAS FLEXI LABEL!
PAYMENT & PACKING
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POSTAGE FOR THIS SINGLE IS FOR UK RECORDED DELIVERY, FULLY INSURED, AND FOR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR AND INSURED.
MULTIPLE PURCHASES WILL BE DISCOUNTED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
PAYMENT:
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE. THE RECORD WILL BE POSTED OUT THE DAY FOLLOWING PAYMENT.
PACKING:
7"s: ALL OUR SINGLES AND EP'S COME SECURELY PACKED IN STURDY MAILERS AND CARDBOARD STIFFENERS. THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE, AND THEN INTO A POLY OUTER SLEEVE ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE.
LP'S: THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW POLY INNER SLEEVE AND PACKED OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL COVER TO AVOID RINGWEAR AND SEAM SPLITS. BOTH VINYL AND COVER ARE THEN HOUSED IN A NEW POLY OUTER SLEEVE FOR EXTRA PROTECTION BEFORE PACKING WITH MAILER AND STIFFENERS.
We have been buying and selling rare vinyl for over 30 years. We have a large and eclectic vinyl-only stall at most of the major UK record fairs, including Olympia and Westminster, where our reputation for selling records in superb condition is well known. We specialise in all things Psych & Prog, although you'll find all genres in our ebay listings.
Unlike most shops, we play-grade all of our 7" singles, and at least part of our LP's, including run-ins and outs, track breaks and at least one track. Rarer LP's are carefully play-graded all the way through.
We're very proud of our 100% feedback. If there's any kind of problem with the item, please contact us first to resolve before leaving feedback.
Thanks!
