Description

I have collected records since I was very young, however Iincreasingly I have realised that I have far too many, and soI have been slowly trying to rationalise my extensive collection over the years, I have sold many major rarities over the years, from major BEATLES and 60s rarities, through PUNK and PROG ROCK, CLASSICAL and BLUES. Basically I've had alot of very rare records and in dribs and drabs have sold them off. I've never had negative feedback, and had many repeat customers.
I will only post completely insured and tracked.
All singles come with the sleeves they're pictured with, I don't use repros,so if it's with what looks like an original sleeve, it is an original sleeve!
Here we have one of the rarest contract pressings of this title. Hey Jude sold very well, and at a time when the EMI pressing plants were already pushed,so they did what they had done several times before with Beatles and sometimes other artists, and paid other record companies to press the records on their behalf. Hey Jude was pressed by a number of companies but the CBS plant (which had been the Oriole plant until they went bust) copies are quite scarce,and the solid copies of these even scarcer! Here is one of those then!
Record Condition: VG light surfaces marks visible when angled into direct light, but nothing to cause jumps/stick etc, as collectors of this title will know, due to it's length,even the slightest marks can cause a little static on this A-side,and there is a little of this, but generally a decent player of a rare contract pressing! Labels Condition: EX-, lovely textured, lifted ridge and outer rim CBS labels, these are so often open to bad rubbing, but this copy has survived much better than most! Really nice examples of these rare labels!
