Beatles-Rel. 45 Lennon Happy Xmas Dark Green Vinyl, EXTREME RARE Faces Label!

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

Hardest-to-find green vinyl swirl copy.  The vinyl is so dark that it’s nearly solid.  As we all know, 90% of these 45’s were pressed in clear light green vinyl.  About 10% were pressed on a green and brown marbled vinyl.  But only a small handful of solid dark green copies have been discovered, and of those, this is the ONLY copy I’ve ever come across, using the faces label.

In 100% honesty, I have seen far more white label promo copies on black styrene than I’ve seen these. 

Consider it impossible that you will ever find another one.

Vinyl: VG/ VG.  Both sides have a heavy amount of light scratches.  Side 1 has one that you can feel, so it will probably sound when you play it.  Retains about 65% original shine on both sides.

Labels: NM/ NM.

Plates: Z5/ Z5.  Machine-stamped letter “O” in the deadwax on both sides makes this copy pressed in Jacksonville.  Both sides have the “Bell Sound” insignia, as well as the “sf” initials for Sam Feldman.

Comes with a copy of the picture sleeve that could stand to be upgraded, as well as a company Apple sleeve in VG condition.

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!)

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.

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!)
