SHE LOVES YOU UK - 1st PRESSING - 1963
AUCTION ONLY - HIGHEST BID WINS - THANK YOU
Please note: Depending upon where you live, ebay might automatically add import duty to your winning bid.
If you are in a hurry, here is a quick summary: Disc delivers crystal clear sound without any intrusions.
If you have more time, a detailed description follows, where you'll find my honest appraisal of every item but please bear in mind that vinyl records were bought to be played, not put away in a cupboard. I offer original Beatles U.K. pressings, now between fifty and sixty years old, in excellent, collectible condition but they have been played and therefore, will never be mint. Please click on my score right now and read the feedback comments:

THE DISC
Matrices: 1N/1N Stampers: 1-T / 2-AA
AUDIO - EX+
Perfect sound quality both sides. The run-ins/outs are near silent. Plays without any appreciable distortion or peak wear. Not even a single 'pop' anywhere. Could easily be considered as a final upgrade copy.
VISUALLY - EX+/EX
Exceptional looking copy. Glossy surfaces, which display just the lightest of removal/handling marks, only really apparent when tilted towards reflected daylight and inevitable on any used vinyl. If you see chevrons, they are caused by my camera and are not on the vinyl. I think it would be very hard to improve on the visual quality here.
LABELS
As you can see, the A side carries a rare factory A sticker to indicate which side is the main song. This was the first Beatles UK single, not to be preceded by a large A frame demonstration copy with white labels, and so as to avoid any confusion, some advance copies were sent out with small stickers attached, indicating the A side. There is also a 'Factory Sample' sticker on the B side, to indicate that these discs were promo copies. There are minimal spindle trails, on the centre section, suggesting careful handling and not excessive play. Both stickers are in great condition, with just a little 'rubbing' to the large A one, which is made from very soft paper.
I have been collecting Beatles original vinyl since the 1970's and this is only the 3rd 'A' sticker single I have ever come across, in all that time. These are harder to find than any Beatles' demonstration discs. =====================================================================================
THE SLEEVE - VG+
A genuine, company 1st issue, without any real issues. There are no seam splits, just age related creasing.

The photos are of the actual item. I always use professional, anti-static, cleaning fluid and listen to the whole disc. Professional mailers are always used.
I have more Beatles records listed right now, so please have a look.
