Mega Rare Original UK 1968 1st Pressing of Wonderwall Music by George Harrison!!! Complete with Mega Rare Original 1st Press Insert and Containing 1st Press -1//-2 Matrix & Uncredited Fully Laminated Garrod & Lofthouse Sleeve! Complete with correct Black Die-Cut Apple Inner Sleeve! Very Rare!
You are bidding on a very rare record here; the super scarce 1968 UK Apple 1st pressing of Wonderwall Music by George Harrison!!! This is by far his rarest solo LP and just never shows up anymore here in the UK, especially as the true Stereo 1st press. What's more, this one is fully complete with its mega rare insert!!! Please be aware that there are many re-issues and European pressings of this LP about, but this is the original UK 1968 very 1st Stereo pressing and it is very, very rare to find (and almost impossible with its original insert!). It is not a later re-issue - this is the real deal! It has the correct dark apple labels labels and -1//-2 Matrix, and is complete with its original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve fully laminated with extra thick laminate. This sleeve was famously un-credited, but rest assured, it is the rare Garrod & Lofthouse original. Finally, as mentioned above, this awesome record comes complete with its original insert!!! These are very, very rare because these inserts were only issued with the very earliest UK 1st pressings of this record, and most were subsequently lost or at best badly damaged over time only ever turning up with rips and sellotape marks etc. This insert is in superb condition with no major issues at all! Check out our feedback and bid with confidence as this is a no reserve auction with a very low starting price!

The dark Apple Records Centre Labels are in great condition!!! They have NO Tears, NO Scribbles. NO lifting or Bubbling, NO Grubbyness and NO unwanted writing of any kind to whatsoever - just some occasional light spindle lines and that's it!!! The super thick & chunky 1st press vinyl is very presentable, although at very good-. it not of the usual high grade I offer you week in week out. Indeed, it is the sheer rarity value of a UK complete 1st pressing of this record that is of most importance in this case. Side one grades as Ex- with just one very short surface mark during Tabla and Pakavaj, but there are some hairlines on side 2 dropping the overall grade down to an honest very good- . However it plays but plays very well indeed with no jumps, no skips and no nasty loud pops, there is just the crackle you would expect from a Very Good- record. The MEGA RARE Garrod & Lofthouse 1st press fully laminated sleeve is in great condition with no serious issues. This un-credited G & L sleeve was the ONLY sleeve that came with the true UK 1st pressing of this album (Stereo and Mono) It has retained all of its stiffness (not gone floppy and lifeless like most around today) and has NO Tears, No Seam splitting and virtually NO feathering of the opening edge!! There are NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!! There is very little of the dreaded ring wear and just the occasional small laminate crease coming out from the spine!!! There is very little seam wear and just light wear to the corners! However there is a line of discolouration where the laminate ends on the edges. The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with a good strong spine with legible title text, but a small patch of wear to the bottom of the spine slightly obscuring the cat number. There is NO laminate cracking around the spine for anywhere else for that matter!!! A beautiful cover which easily grades as a Very Good+ if not better!!! Believe me, like all our other vinyl's this is in no way over-graded!!! Comes complete with it's original black die-cut Apple Inner sleeve, which is in superb Excellent condition!!! Also as mentioned above, this comes with its rare original insert which grades as a superb Ex with no serious issues at all! A very, very rare record!!! Don't miss this one!!!
I have tried to show you the record from all angles using extra large images. If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK 1st press of this LP in this kind of condition is impossible today; Good Luck!
Please read - It has recently been pointed out to me that some eBay sellers have been using my images without permission. If you are thinking of lifting some images from my pages - please don't. You will be reported and your auction will be removed by eBay. It's not that I mind, in fact its kinda flattering, my real problem is that whoever does this is not showing a true image of the actual record they are selling. The condition of old 1960's & 70's records varies greatly, no two are in exactly the same condition when they are this age. All my pictures are very specific to the actual records I sell and it is wholly misleading to to show these images with reference to a different record - whoever does this is not being fair to the buyer. Thanks for reading.
I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!
All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Postage ... Hazey Jane has absolutely NO hidden surcharges; the price you win is the price you pay, just add the relevant postage, it's as simple as that! We always combine postage so if you win more than 1 auction you save money on postage costs! We will only ship to non-UK countries via Airmail - we do not use surface mail, it is way too slow and thus increases the risk of records being damaged during transit.
A little note about insurance - Please read carefully... If the value of your record(s) is over £30, your invoice will include an insured option. Being the responsible adults you are, it is entirely up to you to take this up - we strongly advise you to do this but will not hassle you about it. You either add the required insurance or you don't. If you do add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will get a refund. If you don't add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will not get a refund. Can we be any clearer? I think not.

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards. If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...
Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.
We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
