Beatles '65 - RARE Germany LP - 2nd Odeon pressing with white label, misspelling

$

75

Beatles '65 (Odeon SMO 73 917, c. 1966) The is a very sought after LP. The catalog number on the white/red/gold label indicates a 2nd pressing. Also, the song "Mr. Moonlight" is notably misspelled on the label as "Mr. Moonleight." 
cover: VG+, very minimal wear and dirt - all visible in the photos - LP cover features the first pressing catalog number "SMO 83 917" on both the front and back. dust sleeve: Ex- original, fully intact labels: - Ex no visible wear, features the second pressing catalog number "SMO 73 917" disc: Ex- almost no visible wear
I am not enough of an expert to explain the seeming cover/label catalog number mismatch. I seriously doubt this was a consumer created hybrid. It has been a part of this collection since the very early 70's. My best guess is that when Odeon made the catalog number switch in 1966 they still had some of the original covers (SMO 83 917) leftover and simply used them. So, I guess, in theory, this is a 1st and a half pressing. If any of you more knowledgeable collectors want to shed some light, please send me a message. As always, the record will be professionally packaged for shipping.

GENERAL: We offer combined shipping on multiple wins/purchases but ONLY if you wait for us to issue an adjusted invoice before making payment. Buyer pays actual shipping rounded up to 50cents. Payments by PAYPAL. We list the more valuable items so that they end first. This way you can add lesser-valued filler items with little to no extra shipping. We will be listing hundreds of mint and excellent condition Beatles items (as well as other artists) over the next several months.  Our opening bids are always under market value and often the lowest on Ebay. Favorite us as a seller and check back every Sunday afternoon for new listings.

FEEDBACK:  Your satisfaction as a buyer means a lot to us and everything we sell is guaranteed, but PLEASE, if you have any questions that could avoid a future misunderstanding, ask it in advance of bidding. Your purchases will be professionally packed for shipping. It’s very soul-crushing to hold on to a mint condition record for 40+ years only to have the post office destroy its value in one careless instant.  That’s why we pack really, really well. After we’ve concluded business I promise to leave positive feedback and ask that you (assuming you’re happy with service and product) do too.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We stopped using the Ebay Global Shipping Program because it’s so expensive (to the buyer).  If you live outside the United States and win one or more items, please be patient while we determine and agree on the exact shipping method and costs to your particular corner of the world. For international shipping, we will provide proof of shipping, but if your country’s postal system loses or destroys the item, we are going to consider that out of our hands.
