Album/LP Title: The Beatles Historic Sessions

Vinyl: NM

Cover: NM

Inner sleeves: NM

*Comments: Extremely hard to find in the US. This is spectacular and a must for the serious Beatles collector. It will set your collection apart from others. This is the Afeld 1018 UK only double lp release of 24 live Star Club Hamburg recordings from PRIOR TO the Beatles first lp release. The embossed gatefold cover is NM. Both vinyls are mirrored, unplayed and NM. For those unfamiliar with this release, the following text is from the back cover:

". . . Now though, for the very first time, Beatles' fans can hear the embryo music which paved the way for what was to erupt on an unsuspecting world in the mid and late Sixties. Any pop fan could tell you about how the group's early performing days at the Hamburg Star Club in West Germany first showed their potential to an audience outside of Liverpool -- until now however that music has been lost to all except those relative few who were privileged to hear it first-hand. What you are now holding in your hands is effectively a large slice of pop history . . . these two albums contain some two dozen songs given the inimitable Beatles treatment, blemishes and all. Many of the songs were to appear later on the group's first studio albums for Parlophone, EMI, and became essential conclusions in the performances during the ensuing months after they swept to success with Love Me Do and Please Please Me . . . "

Source Collection
This record, and all other vinyl records that I have listed for sale were personally collected and purchased, by me, for a premium, Mint/NearMint/E collection of rock, pop and mainstream lps. This collection took over four years to accomplish and most lps were purchased at record shows. All lps are true collector quality and were carefully selected based on the artist/title, rarity or the release and/or pressing, cover condition, insert condition, vinyl condition and play quality. Please view my other items listed for more lps from this collection.

Grading
For grading purposes, I follow the Goldmine standard grading system:

Mint (M)
Near Mint (NM or M-)
Excellent (E +/-)
Very Good (VG +/-)
Good (G)
Fair (F)
Poor (P)

I grade honestly and fairly. As Goldmine states, please note that it is agreed by industry and professional graders that true Mint (M) condition is a rumored but rarely seen reality. Hence, a Mint grading should almost never be used for either a cover or vinyl, and you should be very suspect of anyone who routinely lists "Mint" lps, even if they are new.

Cover Protection
All lps come with a clear, premium 3 mil thick outer sleeve for protection and presentation.

Shipping
Lps will be carefully packaged in quality lp shipping boxes. I will combine shipping, so if you intend to purchase two or more lps, please contact me first via ebay messaging, and I will provide you with the combined shipping cost. I ship to the U.S. only (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). No international shipping.

Returns
If you do not agree with the grading of the lp and want to return the record, I will gladly return your purchase price (minus shipping cost). Just please notify me of your intention upon receiving the lp, and once I receive the returned lp, I will gladly refund your purchase price. I do not provide partial refunds, and do require return of the lp. Please note that I take great pride in the records and other items that I sell and that I have never had an unhappy customer, nor have I ever had an item returned to me. Not ever.
