Description

This is a rare Beatles Thai 7" EP - The Ballad of John and Yoko 45rpm


This is a must-have for any serious collector of rock music - especially those with a keen eye for rarity and investment potential. With a speed of 45 RPM and a black vinyl material, this EP features a compilation of some of the band's greatest hits from 1968-69.


The record grading is Very Good+ - Really nice sound with zero skips and minimal hiss. The labels have some nicks and stain blemishes in spots.


The sleeve grading is Very Good/VG-. There are splits (perhaps tiny tears in spots - especially as seen on the bottom edge) but one can see that the lower left corner is torn off a bit - plus the right lower corner is dogeared. Please judge it for yourself in the photos.


The catalogue number is MTR-337. This first edition is a true rarity! This  EP is a true gem for all who understand the rarity of these EPs & their investment potential. The record size is 7". The EP is written in English language and was manufactured in Thailand.


The release year is supposedly 1969 (I don't believe that there is any official log or definite "knowing" of the year that these EPs were actually produced & released - it is all conjecture and assumptions in my honest opinion).


As I do when purchasing records, I believe it's best that customers  judge the condition of the records that I list with their own opinions and personal standards for all aspects in the grade of a records.


I personally am extremely strict on grading records - I look for perfection in a record; and when perfection is far from the case, I am honest in my opinion on the grading of a record.


I do not edit the photos to make the images appear better than they are in reality.


One must always remember that these records I am offering for purchase - Thailand, Malaysian, Iranian - are subject to all kinds of weather and/or political upheaval related damage in almost all cases - not to mention the fact that most, if not all, are well over 50 years old and were not produced in the same numbers or quality that official releases were.


They were often only produced in well under a thousand copies, and the weather conditions these records were/are subjected to in Southeast Asia are far from ideal.
