Description
Feel free to send wants lists for Iranian records / Iranian pressings, I might be able to help.
Clearing a good part of my Iranian collection. As you probably know, records from Iran are extremely rare, specially after many of those records were destroyed following the 1979 islamic revolution. More than 40 years later, not many copies have survived, and not many in good condition. The records we are going to list are seldomly offered for sale, specially in this condition: most in VG+ to EX condition, with rare Picture Sleeves that back then were usually mostly seen as a plain "wrapping" and were just thrown away.
All records have been cleaned in a professional Loricraft PRC-4 record cleaning machine -- this doesn't make miracles (ie fix scratches) but it gives you the best sonic experience by removing dust and dirt stored in the grooves for the last couple of decades.
Bear in mind that even in Near-Mint records the quality of the iranian pressings is sound-wise not Mint most of the times. This is mostly due to the quality of the vinyl used back in the day, dubious sources used for the audio production, and also the fact that they tended to squeeze quite a lot of music on every side (long songs, sometimes over 4.5 minutes, by Persian artists, or EP editions for foreign artists).
Good luck when bidding!
Artist(s): THE BEATLES (Misspelled THE BITELS)
Side A: LOVE ME DO / PS I LOVE YOU
Side B: BABY IT'S YOU / DO YOU WANT TO
Label/Reference: TIP TOP / IG.2172 - IG 21.73
Condition COVER: Plain white sleeve
Condition VINYL: VG+. Vinyl surface shows hairlines and superficial marks, no deep scratches. "PS I Love you" has some kind of blemish, certainly a pressing fault, like an additional drop of vinyl (if you get the picture), that causes a "pop". Clean labels.
Further comments: This one very rarely turns up. To my knowledge, issued without a PS. Interesting Beatles rarity with a misspelled band name.
