Description

THE BEATLES - 'BEATLES FOR SALE'

UK 1965 1st PRESS EP

This difficult to find 4-track EP is a 1965 UK 1st pressing on the yellow & black Parlophone label: GEP 8931

Both labels bear the 'Sold in UK..' text with 'The Parlophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.

The 'KT' purchase tax code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label.

Housed in a front laminated, rounded bi-flipback 'Garrod' printed picture cover.

Matrix numbers: 7TCE 860-1N & 7TCE 861-1N

Stamper codes: 1/A & 1/R

CONDITION

Labels: MINT

Perfect - a completely unblemished pair with no spindle marks or wear to either centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT

Both playing surfaces are clean & bright with just a handful of light hairlines in strong daylight but no significant marks or wear. Close examination directly beneath halogen light reveals a few stylus hairlines but again, nothing major.

Play: EXCELLENT

A very clean & warm sounding EP and my careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/play wear to any track. In fact, aside from a touch of light background between tracks, there is little else to fault overall.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A bright & clean example which apart from a touch of light handling & storagewear displays no significant wear or blemishes anywhere.

**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5.00 GBP**

My grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.

I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.

Every image in this listing has been taken by ourselves and are of the actual item for sale. We do not copy from other listings or use stock images.

All records are professionally & securely & carefully double-boxed in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
