TITLE
The Beatles “Beatles For Sale” mono 1964 early first press MT tax code 3N/3N VG/G+
Description
Mono (open font) copy on original parlophone black-yellow-silver labels with 3N/3N matrix. For a record that’s nearly 60 years old this is in good condition and would be acceptable in any Beatles collection that gets played. Unusual MT tax code.
Cover / Spine / Inners
Has been kept in a PVC cover for most of its life so is VG. It has some creasing and the glossy cover is peeling from the under-printing in one or two places - see photos.
There are no splits, tears, biro, residues, etc.
The spine is a bit creased but has clearly legible text.
There is a (later?) generic paper cover which has been clear taped where it has ripped.
Vinyl
The G+ vinyl has been cleaned, but is obviously well used. There are multiple light scratches on both sides but it is acceptable for playing.
Label / Spindle marks
There are no fingerprints on the period parlophone black-yellow-silver labels. However there are multiple spindle marks when angled to the light.
Side 2 has an embossed “ M T “ tax code either side of the centre hole.
“SOLD IN U.K. … “ text.
Matrix
XEX 503-3N
XEX 504-3N
Postage
Postage is essentially at cost uplifted to accommodate fees. The vinyl will be sent in an acid-free paper sleeve and the record will be carefully packaged and sent in a new LP mailer to the UK MAINLAND ONLY. Multiple purchases will be credited for postage savings.Other Beatles, Led Zep, Cream, etc, records in good condition to follow - watch for my other items.

General Statement (exceptions will be clearly noted).
This record is from the collection of a great music fan. Many items were bought new and have been played and enjoyed over 40 or 50 years or so, though carefully selected second-hand items with less provenance have been added over the years.
The collector is fastidious and the sleeves have been kept in pvc covers. The vinyl has been cleaned each time it was played and the quality styluses regularly changed.
He principally curated a collection of 60s / 70s / 80s LPs and 45s across the genres of rock, psychedelia and folk, but his love of music has taken them into other areas - please see my other items for sale.
I have spent time researching the items that I am selling andhave done my very best to identify the correct version, but please do message me if you feel there is an error in the listing.
Items are photographed carefully before listing to uniquely identify the vinyl with the sleeve.
The record has been test-played and in our opinion it is more than acceptable for enjoyable listening. There may be the odd pop or scratch in quieter tracks or between tracks.
I have not allowed returns as the item is described and photographed in detail. These are second-hand items and will come with some age-related faults as do all items other than NM/NM. If there are any problems whatsoever please message me to find a mutually-beneficial solution to maintain 100% positive feedback on both sides.
