Description

So far as I can tell, this is a first-issue copy of Love Me Do. Vinyl is in excellent condition. Third picture shows the matrix number - a little "Photoshopping" was done, to bring up contrast on the number.
I am NOT a world expert on Beatles singles - someone tell me if I'm wrong!
Condition of labels can be judged from my scans. Cover is the one it came to me in, looks appropriate. Has come un-glued at the top of one side. Condition of the record - this came to me in a grubby condition, but I have gently cleaned it. I now cannot see ANY problems with the A-side playing surface. It plays extremely well (with awesome bass!), with a few crackles here-and-there, which I suspect are a last few items if dust that I didn't get off. B-side has a light scratch, from half-way through the grooves, and into the lead-out groove. This is barely audible when listening to the music, but is audible on the lead-out (on my pretty-decent hi-fi).
I am happy to accept returns, if buyer finds things are not as I say. Also happy to answer any questions you may have.
Normal postage within UK (say) £2.80 (with lots of protective packing). If auction winner wants a particular postal service used, happy to oblige, just say, before paying. Dispatch will usually be "next day". Collection in person is welcome.
