BEATLES FOR SALE - 1964 MONO ORIGINAL PRESSING

Hello, my name is Dave and I am about to list almost all of my 30 year+ music collection. Most of it is rock based, but there will be a few bits of other stuff too. As you will see from my 100% feedback score, I deal fairly and honestly and try to make your buying experience as pleasant as possible. I do have a full time job and also enjoy a lot of time with my family. This means that on the odd occasion, I can take up to a week (maximum) to post a particular item - although about 90% will be sent within 2 days of payment. I will do my best to answer any questions and cater to any reasonable requests if I can. You can rest assured that everything will be very securely packed and I always keep proof of posting until goods safely delivered. If any issues do arise, then please contact me before leaving any feedback and I will always endeavour to resolve.

I do combine postage costs if buying more than 1 item, so please let me know if bidding on something else before I post. Also, shipping varies around the world so please await invoice before paying as I may deduct or add a pound or two as appropriate !!

So without further ado, I'll just describe what's on offer here. Happy bidding and thank you for looking. Regards, Dave.

ALL PICTURES SHOWN ARE OF THE ACTUAL RECORD ON OFFER HERE. I ALWAYS TAKE THEM MYSELF AND TRY TO GIVE AN HONEST REPRESENTATION OF WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON.

 Here we have an original Beatles For Sale LP from 1964. The vinyl itself is in fantastic condition - looking like it has never been played !! In normal everyday bright light conditions you literally cannot see a single mark at all. No light scratches, no scuffs, no surface marks anywhere on this truly beautiful vinyl !!! Only if you examine it under very unforgiving strong halogen lighting will you see that there are numerous very fine wispery sleeve removal marks. Still no scuffs or needle slides at all. The labels still look beautifully vibrant in original black and yellow, with no visible tell tale spindle marks to be seen - further evidence that this vinyl has hardly ever been played. This is also a very early pressing with XEX 503 - 3N and 504 - 3N matrixes and the K T tax code very clearly visible on side one. All in all, this is a truly fantastic ORIGINAL very early pressing of this great album which is in as close to MINT CONDITION as you will find !!
    The usually fragile gatefold cover is still in remarkably excellent condition for it's 47 years. Very clean all over, with no laminate creases or any significant damage apart from a very small scuffing tear at the bottom of the central spine (see picture). Very minor scuffing also at top of spine, but no tear. Finally, just to say that record also has original emitex inner in very good condition too.
    That's all folks - happy bidding !!!!

A potential bidder asked me about mothers and stampers. For those of you that may be interested in these things, they are: side 1's are 3 at 9 o'clock and P followed by an upside down L at 3 o'clock. Side 2's are again 3 at 9 o'clock and GGR at 3 o'clock. From what I have researched, this means both sides of the record are pressed from the 3rd mother and side 1 from stamper 68, side 2 from stamper 112. Also I found out that the 3N matrixes on both sides mean that this is one of the very earliest pressings as later ones are 4N. So there you have it - I hope ! This is a very early pressing of a great beatles vinyl that still looks as new and shiny as the day it was pressed - STUNNING !!!
   If I have got any of this information wrong, then I welcome any viewers to clarify further. Cheers, Dave.

         This is a visual grading only as I do not currently own a turntable. My 100% feedback will assure you that I always give a fair and honest description of my records (unlike some sellers I have seen), so you can bid with total confidence. Thank you very much for looking.

SORRY - ONE LAST THING: If winning bid is more than £46, then I will only send by Recorded Special Delivery if in UK at a total cost of £7. If overseas, then International Signed For will have to be paid for. Please await invoice, as this will be between  £7 and £13 depending on where shipping to. Thanks for your understanding, Dave.
