         non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK...

THIS IS THE FIRST OF A SMALL NUMBER OF VERY HIGH QUALITY ITEMS/GREAT RARITIES THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMMING WEEK.....

FIRST UP IS A 1963 STEREO PRESSING OF " WITH THE BEATLES " ... NOT ONLY IS THIS ONE OF THE HARDEST BEATLES FIRST PRESSINGS TO FIND IN STEREO THE CONDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO SEE AN ALL AROUND BETTER COPY COME UP FOR AUCTION THIS YEAR, JUST LOOK AT THE PICS ......

WHEN VERY 1ST ISSUED THIS ALBUM FEATURED A TOTAL OF FIVE KNOWN ERROR'S. HOWEVER WHAT IS NOT KNOWN IS THAT THE CORRECTED "DOMINION BELINDA" CREDIT FOR MONEY IF FAR RARER  IN STEREO THAN THE EARLIER "JOBETE CREDIT !!! THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF THE "GOTTA" CREDIT AS WELL! THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE IS TRUE OF MONO'S

I SUSPECT THIS IS BECAUSE AS MONO'S WERE PRESSED IN FAR GRATER NUMBERS THAN STEREO, THIS MEANT THAT THE  STEREO JOBETE CREDIT LABELS LASTED FAR LONGER THAN THEIR MONO COUNTERPARTS, WHEN THEY FINALLY RAN OUT AND STARTED USING THE NEW LABELS IT WAS ALMOST WELL INTO 1964 AND THE FIRST PRESS LABELS WERE BEING REPLACED WITH "SOLD IN UK LABELS"

THIS MEANS THAT THESE "DOMINION BELINDA" & GOT A" CORRECTED LABELS ARE THE RAREST FIRST PRESS STEREO VARIANT (WITH THE SOLE  EXCEPTION OF THE "DOMION" LABELS SEE BELOW) JUST LOOK AT ANY FIRST PRESS STEREO'S THAT DO COME UP FOR SALE, I WILL BET YOU THEY ARE NEARLY ALL "JOBETE" AND "GOTTA" COPIES!  

ORIGINALLY THE LABELS FEATURED THE INCORRECT JOBETE CREDIT FOR "MONEY" (THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOMINION BELINDA) SECONDLY THE TRACK LISTING WAS INCORRECTLY LISTED AS "I REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON YOU" (THIS SHOULD HAVE READ "I REALLY GOT A HOLD.......) AND THIRDLY AND THE RAREST ERROR AND ONLY KNOWN ON STEREO COPIES, THE CREDIT FOR "I REALLY GOT A HOLD ON YOU" SHOULD READ "DOMINION" BUT WAS INCORRECTLY PRINTED AS "DOMION".

ALSO THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE SLEEVES FEATURED TWO KNOWN ERROR'S... FIRSTLY THE TRACK LISTING WAS AGAIN INCORRECTLY PRINTED AS "GOTTA" AND ALSO THE FRONT PICTURE WAS PRINTED SO DARK THAT THE FACES OF THE BAND WHERE ALMOST COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT, THIS SLEEVES HAS BOTH THESE ATTRIBUTES. SLEEVES WERE SHORTLY CHANGED TO A LIGHTER VERSION. E J DAY SLEEVES SEEM MORE LIKELY TO BE CORRECTED TO " GOT A "

LASTLY THIS COPY CARRIES THE VERY EARLY SIDE 1 MOTHER/ STAMPER OF 1 O !!!

For Auction here is the UK LP ''  WITH THE BEATLES  " BY THE BEATLES Cat. No is PCS 3045 AND IS A UK FIRST PRESSING ON THE  PARLOPHONE LABEL AND IN STEREO

YEX 110/11-2-2

NO VISABLE TAX CODE.

NOW WE COME TO THE CONDITION

LABELS: NO FAULTS, SOME MINOR SPINDLE TRACES, GRADES EXCELLENT,

VINYL: HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE DISC, THE GLOSSY HEAVIER WEIGHT  VINYL APPEARS EXCELLENT IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A VISABLE SURFACE MARK TO EACH SIDE NEITHER OF WHICH AFFECTS PLAY. THERE ARE SOME SMALL "FEEABLE" MARKS ON " IT WON'T BE LONG " BUT AMAZINGLY THEY DO NOT PLAY - ON MY EQUIPMENT ANYWAY ( GOD MUST BE WATCHING OVER THIS DISC!!) THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DULLING OR OTHER OBVIOUS IMPERFECTIONS TO THE PLAYING SURFACE. VISUALLY I WOULD BE CONSERVATIVE AND GRADE AS EXCELLENT MINUS

AUDIO IS NEAR FLAWESS, PRISTINE AND IMMACULATE THROUGHOUT. DURING PLAY  I DID NOT DETECT ANY DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, BOTH RUN IN/OUT GROOVES ARE ALMOST SILENT AS ARE ALL TRACK GROOVES, EVEN THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE AUDIO ARE FREE FROM ANY INTERRUPTION APART FOR JUST THE ODD POP WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT ON ANY VINYL RECORD. PLAY GRADE EXCELLENT EASY!!

SLEEVE: THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" SLEEVE IS SIMPLY STUNNIN, JUST LOOK AT THE PICS!!!  A STRONG EXCELLENT PLUS  EXAMPLE.THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS MINIMAL SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES PRESENT AND THE ODD LIGHT CREASE . THE FRONT ISEXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, GLOSSY AND WITH NO RINGWEAR PRESENT. THE REAR IS  SUPERB AND IT ONLY DISPLAYS THE ODD SIGN OF AGE AND HARDLY ANY  RINGWEAR PRESENT AND JUST LOOK AT THE SPINE AND THE FLIPBACKS, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A SPINE AND FLIPBACKS LIKE THAT ON A 1963 STEREO COPY OF THIS DISC??

COMES COMPLETE WITH IT'S CORRECT EMITEX POLY LINED INNER, EX ALSO!

OVERALL A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE AND VERY COLLECTABLE UK  STEREO WHICH FEATURES THE RARER STEREO CREDIT FOR MONEY OF "DOMINION BELINDA" AND THE CORRECTION OF YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME, BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE CONDITION, GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS THIS ONE SHOULD FLY!!

 (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I

 will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….
