Here we have a slight oddity that I don't mind offering to you. It's the UK Transatlantic pressing from 1967 housed in the Esquire sleeve from circa 1961. In theory they should not go together, but this is not the first time I have seen such a crossover be sold like this & I think it should still appeal to a collector. Perhaps the Esquire sleeve is more attractive than the Transatlantic release after all, nonetheless it's a shame I can't offer the Esquire pressing of the vinyl. Here we have the next best thing.
Condition : Sleeve : VG Some mild corner creasing from ring wear. There is a surname penned on the back at the bottom, unobtrusive to the print, with a small price sticker tear on the back top left, barely noticeable. Secure flipbacks with all text legible. Great Esquire-only design. Vinyl : Excellent Transatlantic pressing. Just a few faint paper hairline scuffs not affecting play. Professionally cleaned on a Matrix machine.
Postage/Shipping: UK £3 Europe £6.50 Rest of world £8
