The Beatles Beatles Again (Hey Jude) Capitol T-2228
Beautiful original 1969 release.  Includes the first appearance of "Hey Jude" on LP.   Also "Old Brown Shoe," "Ballad of John and Yoko," "Lady Madonna," and "Don't Let Me Down."  "Beatles Again" on label.  "Hey Jude" on spine.  Paul's pants are dark (not artificially lightened as on later issues.)

Record:     EX+  (So close to NM.  Looks perfect in room light.  Under the halogen, just a couple of brush - sleeve swipe - type marks that are so faint you have to study the album to find them.)
Cover:        EX  (Nice corners.  Just the slightest push on the mouth corners.  No tears.  No splits.  No writing or stickers.  Beautiful). 
Final collection copy.  



ALSO THIS WEEK
I am listing a lot of beautiful factory sealed or guaranteed unplayed classic LPs that I have collected throughout the years.  Almost all are original stock (not record club or bargain reissue) pressings.  Any cutouts or KNOWN LATER reissues (generally with new catalog numbers) will be clearly stated in the ad and pictures will reveal imperfections to jackets, cutouts, reissue catalog numbers etc.  If you still have questions, ask!  
These are all great titles and includes classics from Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, The Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Queen and others.


SHIPPING
Shipping is $4 for the first LP and $1.00 for each additional record to a maximum charge of $10 for all records shipped in a single package.  (All records over the seventh purchased ship free.)  I have professional packaging for smalll and large orders.
International bidders contact me before bidding.  I'll ship anywhere, but you need to know the cost.

GRADING is guaranteed.  
Any record that is not graded as described will be refunded once returned IN THE CONDITION IN WHICH IT WAS SHIPPED.  I handle all shipping and packaging myself and review and photograph each record before shipping.  Therefore, I rarely make mistakes on grades, but I will accept your word.  Just package carefully and return.  Contact me first.  I want you to love the records you buy from me.

RETURNS
Returns accepted for used records.  If you are not happy, I'm not happy.  Send it back for full refund.  I will reimburse your original payment.  DO NOT use ebay refund tool.  They charge too much for shipping.
ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS on SEALED records that have been opened by the buyer.  Sealed records are collectibles and lose value once opened.  Please examine your record carefully before opening.  You are taking the responsibility for which label, pressing etc is inside the sealed jacket.   Bid accordingly.

ABOUT ME
I am an audiophile collector, not a dealer.  I want to own original pressings for their history but I also want to listen to the music as it was originally intended to be heard.
All records sold are ones that I have acquired for my personal collection and have decided to sell. Most are duplicates to ones I already own or titles that I no longer have an interest in hearing.  All records are collector's quality (VG+, EX, NM, Sealed).  I have not interest in selling you a worthless records.  
VG+ is the most overgraded grade on ebay.  It is a damn fine record when graded correctly.  It should play perfectly when cleaned.

GRADING is Goldmine.
Mint - Only sealed and verified UNPLAYED records.  No real need to use it.  I will identify these records as SEALED or NM UNPLAYED.
NM - Full gloss.  No marks visible other than factory marks.  No needle marks or sleeve scuffs.
EX (VG++) - As good as NM for any collector who wants to listen to the records, but may have just a very few, very superficial marks that do NOT (and in theory, could not) affect play.  Typically, would look flawless in normal room light but show some superficial marks under the halogen grading lamp.
VG+ - A perfect player once properly cleaned but may have a few more superficial marks or smudges.  Superficial marks do not affect play  The music is not on the top of the disc but in the grooves.  Records that have some superficial marks from use are also likely to have dust and grime in the grooves.  The pops you are hearing on these records are from the debris.  WET CLEAN YOUR RECORDS with a good, safe solution and a vacuum machine for best results.
VG records and below have enough damage to the vinyl (groove damage, deep scratches) to affect play and the enjoyment of the record.  They are not collection quality.  I do NOT buy them and therefore do not normally sell them.  Should I post a VG record, it is a special collectible that is at the high end of the grade and would be expected to be sold at a fraction of a NM record.
VG- and below is garbage and I treat them as such.  I throw them away.
