NOTES
Genuine Early First Press, First Parlophone Recording.
This Auction contains the first UK pressing of a Beatle song on the Parlophone Label.
This Set has the elusive, hard-to-find labels, missing the "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" text above the record number,
which values this version at twice as much as the more common, yet rare, other label version.
Aside from a few wisps on the vinyl, this beautiful early pressing is nearly perfect.
Earliest Tax Codes prove it's a very early, 1962 pressing, as well as the first Mother and early Stamper codes.
Also comes with original "Type-A" Parlophone Sleeve in EX+ Condition
Photos are always of actual item

About Me
My name is Bob Walton, I've been an avid Beatles collector for 35 years now. I started when I was only 11 years old when my aunt gave me the Let It Be Album for my birthday. I've been hooked ever since. Everything I list is from my private collection. I've decided to thin out the 'herd' so to speak because it just takes up too much space. I've got thousands of records, books, and memorabilia that completely fill up a room. I guarantee every item I sell as my 100% positive feedback indicates. I am an honest eBay subscriber and will work to provide a smooth transaction.
Kindest Regards,
Bob
To prevent fraud and protect the buyer and seller, I will only accept PayPal as payment and ship to PayPal confirmed addresses... no exceptions. I will offer combined shipping on multiple orders, but it will be the buyers responsibility to inform me to such. I will not accept offers from anyone with less than 10 positive feedback rating. If shipping overseas (Outside of the Continental USA), please wait for my invoice with proper shipping charges. I will ship USPS with Delivery Confirmation. Optional Postal Services are available to the buyer and will be assessed at their actual costs only. Most of my Auctions will not have a Reserved price, but in the event of a very valuable item, I may issue a Reserve. If I do, I can assure that the reserve price will not exceed the actual "booked" value as found in popular price guides, and in most cases will not exceed 75% of that. I reserve the right to not honor the auction to someone who has been identified as a "scammer". This is my hobby and many others share in this adventure, lets keep it fun for all of us Collectors out there. Finally, I will never grade anything as MINT unless it is still sealed. Even then, I will only grade the unseen vinyl as MINT since it has never seen the light of day. I will never grade the cover of a sealed set as MINT either, only as SEALED, noting any imperfections that I can observe through the shrink.
