Description
VERY RARE 'BEATLES FOR SALE' 1ST PRESS YELLOW AND BLACK CENTRE LABEL PARLOPHONE STEREO LP, CATALOGUE NUMBER PCS 3062, RELEASED IN 1964.
IT HAS THE FOLLOWING 1ST PRESS ATTRIBUTES:-
OUTLINE 'STEREO' ON THE TOP RIGHT FRONT COVER
'SOLD IN U.K.' TEXT
'THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.' TEXT
'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964'
WITH THE MATRIX NUMBERS YEX 142-1 AND 143-1, THIS WAS AMONGST THE FIRST 2000 COPIES OF THE LP PRODUCED.
IT IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE INDEED, ONE WHICH IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO BEAT.
AS I HOPE YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS OF THE RECORD (ANY SHADOWS ON THE PHOTOS OF THE RECORD ON BOTH SIDES ARE JUST THAT), THERE IS A LOVELY ORIGINAL SHINE TO THIS RECORD AND TO LOOK AT IS ALMOST AS IF IT HAS JUST COME OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE! VERY CLOSE INSPECTION SHOWS JUST A FEW PAPER MARKS IN KEEPING WITH TAKING THE RECORD IN AND OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVE. THERE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THIS, AND ON PLAYING THE SOUND IS WONDERFULLY CRISP AND CLEAR. A REAL TOP DRAWER RECORD. I GENUINELY WOULD GRADE THE RECORD AS EXCELLENT.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS GRADED AS VERY GOOD. A FEW CREASES ON THE FRONT AND BACK, WHICH DOESN'T DETRACT TOO MUCH, AND THE INSIDE IS VERY GOOD INDEED.
AS I SAY, THE MATRIX NUMBER ON SIDE 1 IS YEX 142-1, AND ON THE DEAD WAX I CAN ALSO MAKE OUT 1 AT 9 O'CLOCK ON THE DEAD WAX AND GP AT 3 O'CLOCK.
TO CONFIRM, THE MATRIX NUMBER ON SIDE 2 IS YEX 143-1, AND ON THE DEAD WAX 0 AND GH AS ABOVE (SO SMALL, DIFFICULT TO READ BUT I THINK THAT'S RIGHT).
THE RECORD COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL 'EMITEX' INNER WHICH IS VERY NEW LOOKING, THOUGH DOES HAVE ONE SMALL TEAR.
OBVIOUSLY I WANT THIS RECORD TO REACH THE WINNING BIDDER SAFELY AND POSTAGE WILL BE BY 'SPECIAL NEXT DAY DELIVERY' IN A RECORD MAILER, WITH CARDBOARD REINFORCEMNTS HENCE THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL PRICE FOR POSTAGE.

THE REASON FOR THE SALE OF THIS TREASURED POSSESSION IS TO RAISE MONEY FOR A CHARITY. THE ONLY REASON THE AUCTION IS NOT LISTED AS A CHARITY AUCTION (WITH THE USUAL EBAY CHARITY RIBBON) IS THAT THE CHARITY IN QUESTION IS NOT ON THE EBAY LIST OF CHARITIES. IF PAYING BY CHEQUE, PLEASE MAKE CHEQUE PAYABLE TO 'MYTON HOSPICE' WHEN YOU SEND IT ME, RATHER THAN TO MYSELF. IF YOU PAY BY PAYPAL I WILL TAKE TO MYTON HOSPICE A CHEQUE FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE WINNING BID.
IN RECENT WEEKS MY FATHER WAS IN MYTON HOSPICE AT WARWICK AND THE STAFF THERE MADE HIS LAST DAYS VERY COMFORTABLE. THEY REALLY DO A WONDERFUL JOB AND ANY MONEY RAISED FROM THIS AUCTION WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THEM WITHOUT ANY DEDUCTIONS. HOPEFULLY WILL BE USED TOWARDS THEIR SUPERB WORK IN WARWICK OR TOWARDS THEIR FUND-RAISING FOR A SIMILAR CENTRE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, COVENTRY. IT SEEMS MORE THAN APPROPRIATE TO SELL THIS ITEM ON THEIR BEHALF AND I HOPE WE CAN RAISE THEM A GOOD SUM.
I DO HOPE YOU CAN SUPPORT ME IN THIS AUCTION - I CAN CETAINLY ASSURE YOU OF A QUALITY PRODUCT IN RETURN.
