Description
*** BID WITH CONFIDENCE: As a long-time Beatles collector, I’ve had my share of bad experiences buying vinyl on eBay - so I know the disappointment and frustration. I grade conservatively, strive to provide accurate descriptions and detailed photos, package each item VERY carefully and ship quickly - see details below. ***
**********************************Beautiful unplayed copy of the 1993 UK Limited Edition digital remaster of the 1962 - 1966 2 LP set on red vinyl. The cover lists the catalog # as 0777 7 97036 0 9, and there’s a barcode sticker attached over the UPC that was originally printed on the cover. I’m assuming these covers were printed for use in multiple countries, because the Apple labels on the discs have a different catalog# (PCSPP 7171 on Disc 1 and PCSPP 7172 on Disc 2), and they state that this is a UK pressing.
As noted, the vinyl is unplayed. The custom Apple labels have no wear, no writing or markings. Note in the pics that the Side 1 labels on both discs were not perfectly centered at the factory - you can see a little of the red vinyl, and the labels were pressed onto the vinyl with a few small tears around the play hole. A minor factory flaw that’s not all that uncommon in the vinyl pressing process.The cover is printed on the thin cardboard that was typical of UK LPs at the time. All corners are nice and sharp. No cover wear on the front or back - note in the pic that there is a small amount of wear (approximately 1”) on the top left of the front cover. It was there when I received the LP in the mail - like most UK issues, this one wasn’t shrink wrapped for extra cover protection. But it’s been carefully stored in an outer plastic sleeve since the day I bought it.
Unlike the US issues, the inner sleeves with the lyrics are printed on heavier stock glossy red paper, and have no creases or seam splits. I placed the LPs in separate sleeves the day I received this set, and have stored them that way ever since to protect the lyric sleeves (and will ship it to you the same way).There’s also an insert printed on the same paper (also in beautiful condition, with no wear or creases) - one side has photos and the other side lists the song titles and promotes the companion 1967 - 1970 blue vinyl issue (which I also have listed separately on eBay).
*********************************** FAST SHIPPING: Free domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail. Sorry, but I only ship within the lower 48 states. My goal is to ship each item out the day after I receive payment, and I haven’t missed one yet.
* PACKAGING: I package every item VERY carefully, just the way I’d want to receive it:
(1) Using standard LP and 45 mailers with insert pads;
(2) Removing unsealed vinyl from its cover/sleeve to prevent seam seam splitting during transit; and
(3) Labeling the front & back of the package with a bright orange sticker (“FRAGILE - VINYL RECORD - Do Not Bend or Crush”). Please check out my feedback comments - several buyers have specifically mentioned how well their records were packaged.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this item.. Thanks for looking, and stay safe - Rick in TXprice rating
