Background:

The Beatles seventh official album release. The album was released on the same day as the double-A sided single, "Eleanor Rigby/Yellow Submarine".

Originally titled "Abracadabra", but this was rejected because it had been used before.

Front cover features artwork by Klaus Voormann, a friend from their Hamburg days. He played bass with Manfred Mann and later, played with John and the Plastic Ono Band, and on other Beatles solo recordings.

Condition:

Vinyl /Visual Grading: Very Good+ – Hairlines and one feelable scratch on Side 2 Track 7. Still a nice sheen to the vinyl.

Label: This is a first press of this album. The standard yellow block writing Parlophone label. Rimtext starts with "The Gramophone Co. Ltd". "Sold in the U.K..." statement. KT stamp to centre.

Label Grading:  Excellent – Some spindle wear, otherwise very clean. No writing, rips, etc.

Cover:  Garrod & Lofthouse patents pending cover with small size MONO on the front. Note ‘Patents Pending’ to lower right rear (see photos).

Cover Grading: Excellent – 2 x thumbnail creases to front (middle right). Some light furring to opening edge with light storage wear to corners. The very clean spine is fully readable. Rear is clean with some age yellowing to external flipbacks, which are intact with some handling wear.

Inner Sleeve: Excellent - The original plain white sleeve with “Patents Applied For” on bottom left (see photos). It has light creases and a little age yellowing.

Overall a really nice first press copy!

I have been a Beatles fan since the day I sat down in 1973 to listen to the ‘Blue Album’. As a young lad this was the first time I had consciously listened to the band. From the first few bars of Strawberry Fields Forever, I was hooked. So it is with a very heavy heart that I now have to sell my vinyl collection!  I have been selling a number of items recently but now need to let the vinyl go. I am not a dealer, so please accept my gradings as being as honest as I can make them without a professional background or equipment. Unless stated the gradings are visual, as I just don’t have the time to play grade everything.

As with all my vinyl, it would benefit from a professional clean.

Records will be removed from their original sleeve and dispatched in a plain white sleeve. All items will be placed in a protective clear sleeve and dispatched in a card mailer.

I always obtain a proof of posting from Post Office.

PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE

For non-UK Bidders PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE for postage.

To ensure all items are traceable when sending overseas, I will only use Royal Mail’s International Tracked service. Ebay/Paypal insist that they will only credit or believe the items have been sent, when the seller can provide a tracking number. So that is how I will send all my Beatles items outside the UK. This may make my postage charges a little higher than some other sellers but it provides peace of mind to myself and the buyer.

Approx. costs are as follows:

EUROPE £10.00.

US £15.00.

AUSTRALIA / JAPAN £20.00

Payments must be made within 5 days of purchasing unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed upon.

Please Note: If no contact is made by the winning bidder following the mandatory Ebay 3 days, I will reserve the right to re-list the item or offer it to the runner-up, unless prior notice of any delay is arranged beforehand.

If you are unhappy with an item, I am happy to offer a full refund (inc. P&P) on return of the item. Items must be returned within 12 Days of receipt and in the same condition they were sent out. Return postage must be paid by buyer.
