The Beatles / 1962-1966 (RED ALBUM) Genuine 1973 1st Pressing Vinyl LP - EX Cond

	£		40
	$		53

I AM ALSO SELLING THE BEATLES / 1967-1970 (BLUE ALBUM) WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I COMBINE POSTAGE

WHY NOT MAKE ME AN OFFER FOR BOTH?

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

I am selling off my personal collection of original UK first pressing vinyl albums to supplement a house move. It's sad to see them go but the money will come in useful. I have adopted the Record Collector magazine’s Grading Guide to describe the condition and I have also play-checked each album, so you can be confident about buying. The pictures are also of the actual album you are bidding on.

The Beatles “1962–1966” (The Red Album)

A Genuine Original 1973 UK 1st Pressing Vinyl Double Album on the Apple record label in the laminated gatefold sleeve, complete with original red lyrics inner sleeves.

EXCELLENT Condition (see description and notes below) and A VERY COLLECTIBLE COPY

Description and Track List
This album (catalogue no. PCSP 717 ?(OC 192 o 05307-8)) is an original 1973 UK first pressing. It is in such good condition because it has been stored in a protective plastic cover since new. THIS IS A VERY COLLECTIBLE COPY AND IF YOU ARE A COLLECTOR IT SHOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT
 
If you’re going to own just two Beatles albums make them the Red and Blue ones (I am selling the Blue one too). These two double albums have become the essential introduction for fans who want to discover what The Beatles phenomena is all about. For millions of music lovers born after the mid-fifties, these have been and always will be where The Beatles experience begins.
 
The Red and Blue albums were released in the spring of 1973, a year when the legend of The Beatles was even bigger than it had been when the group was together.  Three years after the break-up, all four former Beatles were enjoying enormous solo success. Compiled by Beatles manager Allen Klein, only songs composed by the Beatles themselves were included on the albums and along with its 1967–1970 counterpart (the Blue album), they comprise every single A-side released by the band in the UK. A smash hit here in the UK and in the US when originally released, the timeless appeal and testament of the quality of the music, this album was another enormous success when it was re-released in September 1993 charting at number 3 in the UK.

Condition (using Record Collector Magazine grading)
I have tried to provide good quality large pictures of the album and sleeves. Please take the time to click through them and satisfy yourself of the quality of this LP. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl = EXCELLENT: The records have been played once or twice but are still in excellent condition with just one or two light surface scratches visible under bright daylight. There is absolutely no discernable lessening in sound quality. I have play-checked the records and it’s also a good quality pressing with very little background noise.
Cover = EXCELLENT: The cover sleeve has been kept in a protective plastic sleeve since new and so it is in excellent condition with just the odd mark consistent with the age.
Inner Sleeve = EXCELLENT: The inner sleeves are also in excellent condition, with just a few small creases to the corners and edge consistent with age.
 
 
Note
The record will be very well packaged and sent Royal Mail Small Parcel, which is the cheapest option.

I do combine postage too, only ever charging at actual cost plus eBay’s fee on postage, so please check out my other records. Over the next month or two I will be selling several hundred albums including others by the same artist.

I am also happy to wait for payment to allow you to bid on multiple items. Just send me a message to let me know.

If you do buy more than one album don’t pay until I send you an eBay invoice with the adjusted postage.

Overseas bidders welcome.

Any other questions? Please ask.

Happy bidding and good luck!
