Description
Stop! This is not mint.
Thanks for looking at this listing. For the purposes of my sales descriptions, and to avoid negative feedback, consider all discs to be very good+/-. Some will play/sound better than this. None will be mint.
If it's trashed I will say so!
Discs will be free from significant warps, and will sit flat on the turntable unless stated. Labels will be free from graffiti/stickers/sticker residue unless stated.
Records have been play tested and will be free from jumps/sticks unless otherwise stated. Records have been cleaned whilst playing with a brush arm, but will usually benefit from further cleaning.
Up for grabs today is: -
With the Beatles, UK 1963 pressing. This is a very rare combination of Matrix numbers, 3N/3N. Only the second time in around eight years of sifting through thousands of Beatles lps that I have found this matrix combination. The copy in my own collection is similar condition to this one. I don't expect to find a mint copy to replace it. This record sold in thousands and many of the matrices are combinations of 1N to 7N. However, both sides of 3N is hardly ever seen.
The record plays without sticks or jumps. I listened casually into the room, using a Creek/Rega/Linn set-up. The sound was decent enough(I wasn't listening closely, just checking for sticks etc). I noticed a few clicks. Not surprising as the record has many marks, but retains much of it's original shine.
The label has some graffiti in ink(see pics). The cover is clean with some age stains and a name impression can be lightly seen at the top, which someone has cleaned off. There is some small damage to the cover edge(small tear/creasing)
Priced according to its rarity.
I sell to fund my own passion for Beatles records and thus these will not be top copies, usually sold on as upgrades have been found. They will rarely come with original sleeves.
Records posted in recycled record mailers with stiffeners.
I can send worldwide, overseas buyers please wait for invoice.
