Description
This is one item that didnt sell on Buy it now - so I have decided to throw it up for auction! Good luck and take a look at this GREAT item on offer below:-
RARITY:- One of the rarest and most sought after Beatles related LPs ever! This LP also has the added rarity of being an ULTRA rare 'Factory Sample' 1st Pressing - making it very VERY rare indeed!
FACTORY SAMPLE:- 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / APPLE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE! 'FACTORY SAMPLES' WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - AND ARE TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO FIND TODAY! BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY!
AUTHENTICITY:- FACTORY SAMPLES ARE NOW VERY HARD TO FIND (ESPECIALLY GENIUNE ONES!), AND SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK EVERYTHING IS CORRECT & AUTHENTIC. FIRSTLY, THE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' STICKER IS DEFINITELY 100% GENIUNE - BEING OF THE CORRECT PAPER & COLOUR, AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF MOVEMENT. THERE IS ALSO CLEARLY NOTHING UNDERNEATH THE STICKER AND NOTHING IS BEING HIDDEN. RUNNING YOUR FINGER OVER THE STICKER FINDS IT 100% FLAT & UNCREASED, AND THERE IS NO 'GLUE RESIDUE' OR OTHER INDICATIONS OF A 'RE-STICK'. AND THOUGH YOU CAN NEVER BE 100% CERTAIN WITHOUT AN LPs FULL HISTORY, I AM VERY FIRMLY OF THE OPINION, THAT THE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' STICKER HAS BEEN ON THIS LP ALL OF ITS LIFE, AND IS 100% GENIUNE IN EVERY RESPECT!
COUNTRY:- UK
MONO/STEREO:- STEREO (there were NO Monos!)
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING - with a 100% GENIUNE Black Apple inner sleeve, DARK Apple labels, CORRECT Apple Credit to Side 2, and a 'Garrod & Lofthouse' FULLY Laminated NARROW SPINE Cover!
ARTIST:- JOHN LENNON - THE PLASTIC ONO BAND
TITLE:- LIVE PEACE IN TORONTO 1969
CAT NUMBER:- CORE 2001
LABEL:- APPLE
DATE:- 1969
MATRIXES:- The EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1st Press 1U/1U Matrixes!
SIGNS OF PLAY:- BARELY ANY!
LABELS:- EX+ (SUPERB labels - with only VERY faintest trace of 'texturisation'!)
RECORD GRADING:- VG++++ if not better (graded VERY strictly indeed, under a 150 watt bulb!). An absolutely BRILLIANT example - and almost EVER seen like this now! The record has NO scratches, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairline traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB! The record plays with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves - NOT in the music AT ALL! An absolutely BRILLIANT record - to which I have applied the VERY strictest gradings (most would grade higher here - I am certain!).
INNER:- The Black Apple inner is a 100% GENIUNE 1st Press ORIGINAL (and NOT a modern replacement!) and is in very VERY nice condition indeed - with NO edge splits, NO centre hole splits (apart from a TINY internal repair - which I didnt even notice for a week!), NO writing, and only some very VERY slight ruffling! A BRILLIANT inner!
COVER:- VG+ if not better! A VERY nice cover indeed! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (NARROW SPINE!), NO splits, only slight corner wear (with some evidence of 'tipping in'), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, NO grubbyness, NO rips, NO tears, and NO writing! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL! And even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition - with shiny laminate, NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, and NO writing! An very VERY decent cover indeed - and very VERY strictly graded!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
