Beatles 1975 Get Back 45 “Mfd. By Apple Records” on BOTH Sides, NM!

I can’t test-play vinyl at the minute, so with that said…

Some collectors are aware that just prior to the October through December 1975 “All Rights Reserved” label variation being issued, there was an extremely limited number of copies pressed from these newly-printed backdrop labels issued before the disclaimer had a chance to be typeset for the “All Rights Reserved” run.

The result was a nearly complete run of the singles catalogue pressed with the “Mfd. By Apple” disclaimer at the bottoms of both sides, but without the “All Rights Reserved” disclaimer.  These copies were exclusively out of the Los Angeles plant.  It has taken me since 1975 to verify the existences of all of the titles except for “Slow Down.”  This copy of “Get Back” remains the only copy that I have ever seen, and as far as the rest of the titles, I’ve seen less than five each.

It’s time to give this one up to a collector who is trying to complete the run.

Vinyl: NM/NM.  45 looks just like it did when it was sitting in the record bin in 1975.

Plates: A7/B8.  These plates may have been refreshed in anticipation of the “All Rights Reserved” run.  Definitely early-pressed plates.  Machine-stamped asterisk in the dead wax makes this copy pressed in Los Angeles.

Labels: NM/EX.  Side 1 label looks brand new.  Side 2 label has some light dirtwear from the pressing process.

Sleeve: VG+. Original Apple sleeve is present.  Side 1 has moderate white wear on the left side.  Side 2 has lighter white wear.  Very light label serration wear.  NO SPLIT SEAMS.

**Note:  All 45’s ship outside of their sleeves in order not to damage the sleeve during shipment. Generic plain, white sleeves and Mylar provided.**

If you don’t win this copy, your search is on.

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
