SAMPLER NOT FOR SALE COPY EXCELLENT VINYLED 1G 1R STAMPERS ONE OF 1ST 3-600 PRESSED......

THIS IS NOT THE STANDARD 1979 ISSUE " RARITIES " LP THIS IS THE EARLIER MUCH MUCH RARER SAMPLER NOT FOR SALE COPY ISSUED  ONLY WITH THE BC13 BOX SET IN 1978 AND HARDLY EVER TURNS UP FOR SALE, L@@K !!!

IN 1978 EMI ISSUED A PRESENTATION BEATLES BOX SET OF ALL THEIR STANDARD UK LP'S FROM 1963-1970. THE BOX SET WAS DESIGNATED A CAT NUMBER OF BC13 AND ALTHOUGH THE LP'S WITHIN WERE JUST EXAMPLES OF THE CURRENT STANDARD ISSUES IT ALSO CONTAINED A BONUS LP OF " RARITIES " WITH A DISTINCT " SAMPLER COPY NOT FOR SALE " LOGO PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE ( NOT A STAMP NOR A STICKER BUT PRINTED.... ) AND THIS BONUS LP HAD A CAT NUMBER OF PSLP 261  

HOWEVER SO DESIRABLE THIS LP PROVED TO BE THAT IN 1979 EMI RE-ISSUED IT AS A STANDARD LP BUT WITH TWO IMPORTANT DIFFERNCES..... 1) THE SAMPLER PRINT WAS REMOVED AND 2) IT WAS GIVEN A NEW CAT NUMBER OF PCM 1001.

HOWEVER ONLY THESE INCREDIBLY RARE NOT FOR SALE SAMPLER COPIES HAVE THE " NOT FOR SALE " PRINT AND THE CAT NUMBER OF PSLP 261 AND ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE LATER AND COMMON RE-ISSUES PCM 1001.

AND IF THA WASN'T RARE ENOUGHT THIS COPY HAS MOTHER/STAMPERS OF 1G & 1R AND SO IS ONE OF THE FIRST 300-600 EVER PRESSED!!! 

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

FREE DELIVERY ONLY FOR ITEMS THAT SELL FOR LESS THAN 9.99 TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT  CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT. ABOVE 9.99  ALL ITEMS WILL BE VIA DOMESTIC UK SIGNED FOR DELIVERY GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND GBP 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP, PLEASE DO NOT BID IF THIS IS A PROBLEM.  INTERNTIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY NOTES BELOW

 (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 8.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...
