THE BEATLES

"THE BEATLES SIXTH CHRISTMAS RECORD"-1968.

A DOUBLE SIDED EDITION WITH THE SPECIAL LABEL(ACTUALLY PRINTED INTO THE PLASTIC)ON ONE SIDE AND TOTALLY BLACK ON THE OTHER.

ORIGINAL 1968 UK PRESSED FLEXI DISC MADE STRICTLY FOR FAN CLUB MEMBERS ONLY!

LYN 1743/44 PRESSED BY LYNTONE WHO MADE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FLEXI DISCS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO FAN CLUB MEMBERS EVERY XMAS FROM 1963-1969 INCLUSIVE.

EVEN IN 1968 NATURALLY IT WAS HARD TO OBTAIN FOR NON-MEMBERS!

MOST COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AND BECAUSE OF THE ULTRA THIN AND DELICATE MATERIAL USED WERE QUICKLY AND EASILY DAMAGED,EVEN WELL CARED FOR COPIES SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR-HOWEVER THIS ONE IS THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

GLEAMS AND SHINES!!! MOST THAT YOU SEE ARE RATHER DULL AND FADED!!!!!

TOTALLY FLAT WITH NO BUMPS,NO DENTS,NO SCRATCHES,NO SCUFFS,NO SKIPS,JUMPS OR STICKS,NO LABEL AREA WEAR,NO STAINING,NO WRITING,AND THAT INCLUDES THE COVER WHICH IS EQUALLY CLEAN AND STUNNING!

I WAS AMAZED TO GET THIS DIRECT FROM A FAN OF THE TIME,WHO WAS OLDER THAN THE AVERAGE FAN OF 1968-HE WAS 20 AT THE TIME AND ABLE TO AFFORD A DECENT RECORD PLAYER BUT DECIDED EVEN THEN,THIS FLEXI DISC WAS TO ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OF PLAYS AND TO BE KEPT SAFELY FOR THE FUTURE WHICH IS NOW!

THE MAJORITY OF TRULY DECENT COPIES OF THIS SPECIAL ITEM REMAIN WITHIN BEATLES COLLECTIONS AND COPIES AS GOOD RARELY COME UP FOR SALE.......UNTIL NOW!!

THIS COPY HAS PROBABLY ONLY BEEN PLAYED  TWICE BEFORE MY ONE TEST PLAY AND IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS OR SIGNS OF USE!

AS WITH ALL FLEXI DISCS,THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE DUE TO THE WAFER THIN POOR QUALITY PLASTIC USED BUT IT IS MINIMAL DUE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S CARE AND ATTENTION WAY BACK IN 1968 AND EVER SINCE!

SO MANY THAT SURVIVE HAVE BUMPS AND DENTS IN THEM RESULTING IN JUMPS,SKIPS AND SWISHES,THIS EXAMPLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE PROBLEMS!

IT WILL BE BOUND TO RISE IN VALUE AND IS A SOLID INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE!

IT ALSO IS A FASCINATING SOUND DOCUMENT OF THE WORLD'S BEST EVER POP BAND TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING AND OF COURSE LOTS OF JOKES AND SKETCHES TYPICAL OF THE BEATLE HUMOUR!

IT HAS A VERY NICE COVER WITH NO CREASES AND NO STAINING,NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

***************************************************************** 

This week and indeed for the next few weeks and months, I am offering up for sale some carefully selected RECORDS COVERING ALL STYLES including some of the hardest to find items from a magnificent lifetime collection that I purchased from a keen AND VERY CAREFUL COLLECTOR WHO ENJOYED ACCUMULATING RATHER THAN ACTUALLY PLAYING THEM!!

THIS COLLECTION HAS BEEN CHASED AFTER BY ME FOR SOME MONTHS AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS UNSURE IF HE WAS FINALLY GOING TO SELL UP OR NOT!! THE DEAL HAS BEEN DONE AND GRADUALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS YOU WILL SEE A MIXTURE OF ORIGINAL PRESSINGS AND SELECTIVE REISSUES OF SUCH QUALITY NOT USUALLY SEEN ON EBAY. SO MANY SELLERS SHOUT ABOVE THE ROOFTOPS BUT ACTUALLY OVERGRADE PUTTING OFF BUYERS FROM TRYING ELSEWHERE-PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT MY DAILY CHANGING FEEDBACK-IT SAYS IT ALL!

SO BACK TO THIS COLLECTION-I HAVE SEEN THE HIFI THE RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON-JUST ABOUT THE BEST SOUND SYSTEM I HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS-MANY OF THE OLDER TITLES WERE BOUGHT FROM ME WHICH IN TURN WERE SOURCED FROM EX-REVIEWERS AND OTHER FUSSY COLLECTORS.

THE RECORDS WERE STORED UPRIGHT IN A SERIES OF SHELVES IN A STUDY AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT/HEAT AND DAMP.

NO SMOKERS IN THE HOUSE AND ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE AND CHARMING COLLECTORS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH-THE REASON FOR THE SALE IS SPACE AND A CHANGE OF INTERESTS!

THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ANY CLEANING WITH ANY OF THE ITEMS IN THIS COLLECTION-YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THESE VINYL TREATS! EVEN I WANTED TO KEEP MOST OF THEM-SOME FANTASTIC OFFERINGS!

Here is an ORIGINAL 1968 PRESSING FLEXIDISC ON THE LYNTONE LABEL.

 IT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE GRADING IS NOT MINT AS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED BUT IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC ITEM-MOST DEALERS WOULD  STATE  NEAR MINT!!!
