Vinyl in  EXCELLENT- (A side) / EXCELLENT (B side) Condition

Labels in  EXCELLENT Condition

On offer here is The Beatles' 1st UK '45, with distinctive red label, copies of which are very thin on the ground, and do not become available that often. A good-looking copy, there are very light surface marks in evidence, a few light nicks to A side, but absolutely no major problems at all, and the record plays superbly. The labels are in excellent condition, with only a feint name in pen to A-side. The original multi-coloured Parlophone sleeve is in superb EXCELLENT+ condition, making this a very collectable copy indeed. Most copies that come up for sale are well worn, with poor labels and often minus their centres, unlike this copy which is a treat!

   

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR YOUR BEATLES COLLECTION

----------------------------------------------

all 45s come with plain white sleeves unless otherwise stated.

   GOOD LUCK!
