Description
After 20 years of collecting, the time has come for me to sell my Beatles collection and let other collectors appreciate some of the records and memorabilia I've accumilated over the years. Please check out my other listings and remember to save me as a favourite seller, as every week I'll be listing more and more increasingly rare, collectible and desirable Beatles records!
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

This auction is for a very rare pressing of the Apple 'Walls EP'!
This EP was the subject of a rather brief promotional campaign that ran in July 1969 where a copy could be bought if you collected a few Walls ice cream wrappers and sent them off along with a payment of 6/6d. This was the only way to obtain a copy and, today, copies are now extremely hard to find!
The EP features some of the best, most well known Apple talent at the time and features producer credits of George Harrison (for Jackie Lomax) and Paul McCartney (for Mary Hopkin).
Would look great in any Beatles collection!

The cover is holding up okay with some light, general wear and tear. the front has a nice colour with some light disc impression and some laminate creases around the edges and mouth A number 3 has been written in pen at the top right, just to the right of Mary Hopkin. Top, bottom and side seams are holding tight with no splitting or wear. The back has yellowed a little and 'number 3' has been written at the top on the overflap. There's some light browning in places and some laminate creases on the overflaps. The glue seems to be starting to become unstuck - the bottom overflap has torn and is starting to become unglued. the top seam is still attached but is looking like it's starting to come away too. Easy repair if you know what you're doing. Overall, some wear and tear, but holding fine. Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : G+

The playing surface has a nice shine but has a fair amount of light scuffing along with some slightly heavier looking scuffs and marks. Nothing looking too serious..

The labels are clean without any wear, writing, tearing etc. There's some light spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole. Nice labels!.
