LOTS OF MOBILE FIDELITY TITLES ON OFFER THIS WEEK – PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS!
The Beatles WITH THE BEATLES - MFSL 1LP limited edition rarity, and the vinyl grades from EX+ to Near Mint condition! The rarest of all MFSL Beatles titles. Reportedly, Mofi's metal parts for this title were damaged or broken and it would have cost them a fortune to replace them. Consequently, they opted to press significantly fewer copies of "With The Beatles" than the other titles.
COMMENTS: Pictures 4 through 11 show each LP corner, starting from the Front Upper Left and proceeding clockwise (Pictures 4 through 7) and in the same order for the rear (Pictures 8 through 11).
The lower left front corner is bumped and creased (Picture 6), and other parts of the cover show signs of wear.
There are also a couple creases to the front cover that are difficult to see (and I could not get a good angle to get a clear picture). The largest measures about 2 inches and runs through Ringo's hair.
Owing to these flaws, I grade the cover at VG+, but with the LP in hand I think you'd agree that plenty of folks might grade it at EX or better.
AUDIO SAMPLE: The video is a "needle drop" audio sample of each LP track. eBay limits videos to 60 seconds, therefore limiting samples to only around five to eight seconds per track. I believe the audio will demonstrate that, on average, the LP is in the condition described.
About My Used Records - NOT REQUIRED READING, BUT...If you have not purchased an open/used record from me, this section might be worth reading once, as I offer a handful of reasons why I think I offer a superior record-buying experience. Here goes:
1) I'm selling my personal collection. I purchased every item I sell here, and therefore I know where and when I got it, and whether the LP has been played frequently, or not at all, etc.
2) I take care of my records. Once an LP is open, the record is always stored in a rice-paper (Mobile Fidelity/Quality Pressings-type) or a poly-lined sleeve. For over 20 years I've made a practice of cleaning a record EVERY TIME before I play it. I've owned VPI, Audiodesk, and Degritter cleaners, and for the last several years I use the KLAudio 200T, which is widely considered to be the best cleaner on the market (Acoustic Sounds is said to have their KLAudios running 24 hours a day for their used record business). I also clean my stylus after the end of each LP side. I currently use the DS Audio ST-50 cleaner. Finally, I use high-end cartridges for playback. Owing to these best practices, my LPs do not undergo the kinds of wear you might typically encounter. Generally speaking, if an LP I sell has incidents of surface noise, it's because of the pressing itself.
By the way, thanks to KLAudio, I am certain that a new LP cleaned on that machine is unquestionably in better condition than a sealed ("mint") LP. Why? Take a look at the next new record you buy. You're likely to see all kinds of dust or other debris, and that doesn't include the microscopic detritus you can't see. A new record is actually upgraded after it's been cleaned by the KLAudio cleaner. All used records I sell here are cleaned before shipment.
3) Since 1984 or so, my work involved extensive traveling throughout the U.S. My free-time was always devoted to checking out any and all record stores. By the early 2000's, after you add Ebay and other online vendors into the mix, I ended up with a collection of 7,000+ records! (it's down to 5,000+ now). However, there are only so many hours in the day, and the upshot is that many of the "used" records I sell have only been played once or twice, if at all.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer and seller intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I list my LPs with low opening bids and NO RESERVES. Please have a look at some of the feedback I've gotten over the years; you will be hard-pressed to find a better or more trustworthy source for high value collectibles. The LPs I sell here are routinely listed on other sites at very high asking prices. Here's your chance to get these fantastic rarities in an open auction, reflecting their true market value. I believe this is the most fair process for both buyer and seller -- and it's way more fun!
I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs and a single $2 charge for shipping materials.
PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
