Tough to find!..
Original 1963 issue WITH company sleeve that both looks GREAT and plays GREAT!..
Issued on Parlophone in 1963..45-R 4983 with "Made In Great Britain" on the right of the label (to my mind,this is rarer than copies without this text!)..
The matrix numbers are 1N and the mothers/stampers are: 2 GN and 2 GA When you think how many 1,000's of copies this single sold,these mothers/stampers identify it as being one of the first few 1,000 pressed!..The tax code MPT also appears in the run off grooves..This is an odd tax code..PT ran from 26 November 1962 to 1st January 1963 and MT from 1st January 1963 to 1st July 1963,so where does MPT come from?..Any ideas anyone?....
Play grade is easily EX+..The sound quality is clean and undistorted with NO clicks,pops or crackles..A nice loud mix as well!...The disc plays flat on the deck with no edge warps...
Visual grade of the disc is as follows:
The A side looks superb..It's clean and undamaged with no nasty scratches,scuffs or other marks (there are a few hairlines/bag scuffs,but they are minimal)..The B side has a scuff to the middle but its light and only on the surface of the vinyl..You would look at and say.."That won't affect play at all" and you would be right!..So graded as EX minus..
The labels are undamaged with shiney and legible text..There is absolute minimal spindle wear to the areas around the centre holes..The labels have no writing,stickers,rips tears or other defects...The push out centre is firmly attached.
The company sleeve (Yes this DID come in this design sleeve as well as the stripey one!) has minimal signs of wear and no seam splits,sellotape etc...There is a cat.number in biro to the back sleeve..
UK buyers are welcome to collect this in person or collect it from The Southend Record Fair (11th December)..where there are LOADS of great albums and singles offered for sale...NEW VENUE for this fair is West Leigh Schools on the A13..SS9 2JB..Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!.
POSTAL COSTS
UK:£1.25..EEC and Russia!! :£2.00...
USA,JAPAN.AUSTRALIA etc:£3.00.
There are delays on post going INTO the USA due to an increased scanning of packages at US Customs (Anti terrorist measures,I believe)..Parcels ARE being delayed and delivery may take a MONTH!!..
The Russian Federation is also having delays on deliveries ..This is due to the sheer volume of parcels going into the Federation..Again,expect delays!.
Payment
I accept UK cheques and Postal orders,bank transfers and of course.PAYPAL......
Shipping
All items are securely and professionally packed..Records are shipped out of their jackets to prevent seam splits..If there is an inner sleeve or a picture sleeve,then the disc will be packed in a plain white sleeve.. I try and keep shipping costs to an absolute minimum,byut Paypal don't help by taking commission on the postal costs!!
All items are posted the day that payment is recieved..
