Description

The Beatles Love Me Do 7" 50th Anniversary SCARCE MISPRESS MINT

Condition is NEW, MINT & UNPLAYED (BOTH SLEEVE AND VINYL are MINT as I have not even removed the vinyl from the sleeve, so it's untouched).
RECALLED BY EMI FOR DESTRUCTION DUE TO THE PRESSING ERROR! (The album version of Love Me Do has been pressed, instead of the intended single version.)


I have the recalled 7" in hand MINT & UNPLAYED, ready to be despatched!
I understand that a very small percentage were posted out early before EMI had chance to recall the rest before the release date of the 5th October 2012.
(I have included my ebay username within the photo as proof of ownership).

I have many years in shipping items worldwide and with this rare 7" I will ensure it's packaged extremely securely, and posted swiftly, insured with a tracking number, that I will inform you of as soon as I have posted it.

I'm in the UK and delivery will be within 48 hours. (I'll try 24 Hours)

UK Postage (£2.95 Recorded Delivery - Insured and Signed For)
European Postage (£8.95 Insured AIRMAIL and Signed For)
Worldwide 'USA / Rest Of The World' Postage (£12.95 Insured AIRMAIL and Signed For)

Please see my perfect feedback for reassurance.

Thank you and good luck.
