I’m still putting up for auction more BEATLES PICTURE SLEEVES & MATCHING 45 RPM RECORDS that I’ve had for many years. So, if you want to begin a collection of Beatles Singles Picture Sleeves, you may want to check out my other auctions, too.

In this auction is 1 original Beatles Picture Sleeve and 1 original Beatles Apple 45 RPM record.   

Here are the details about the record and picture sleeve in this auction:

·       THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD b/w FOR YOU BLUE by The Beatles

·       This is Apple Records 2832.

·       This record was released May 11, 1970.

·       This PICTURE SLEEVE is in VG CONDITION. What is nice about the sleeve is that it hardly shows any ring wear at all which is often found on the Beatles images on both sides. This PRIMARILY WHITE SLEEVE is hard to find without much wear/smearing on the images. The wear/smearing often found on this sleeve was caused during shipping when 25 sleeves and disks were packed in Apple 45RPM shipping boxes distributed to record stores and rubbed together during transit causing color smearing on the sleeve’s images. The sleeve has some slight disc impression (NOT ring wear). There is a line caused by a crease across the images of John and Ringo on “The Long And Winding Road” side of the sleeve. There is also some signs of handling (some wrinkles and creases) on that side of the sleeve to the left of the Beatles’ images. Despite the blemishes I’ve noted, the sleeve still looks good overall. (Please check out the images.)

·       The Picture Sleeve has NO SEAM SPLITS, NO WRITING, and NO TEARS.

·       This is a straight-cut (East Coast) Sleeve.

·       The VINYL is NEAR MINT. Mfd. by Apple is in the perimeter printing of the un-cut Apple label.
