Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Yardbirds called "Five Live Yardbirds" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK MONO Pressing on the RAREST EVER Columbia label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS THE YARDBIRDS FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP EVER MADE (ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES ONLY!)!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! I WILL NOW EXPLAIN JUST HOW AMAZINGLY RARE THIS LP REALLY IS - AND EXACTLY WHY IT IS THE RAREST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP EVER MADE:-
IN EARLY 1969 COLUMBIA DECIDED TO CHANGE THEIR LABEL DESIGN AND DROPPED THE 'BLUE/BLACK' COLUMBIA LABELS THEY HAD USED THROUGHOUT THE 1960s. THIS CHANGE HAPPENED IN MARCH 1969 - AND CHANGED THE LABELS TO 'SILVER/BLACK' LABELS, BUT CRUCIALLY THEY LEFT THE 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH LABEL!!!! AND YET, ONLY 2 MONTHS LATER IN MAY 1969 EMI (WHO OWNED COLUMBIA) DECIDED TO REMOVE THE 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT FROM ALL OF THEIR RECORD LABELS FOREVER (INCLUDING PARLOPHONE, COLUMBIA, HMV, ETC), WHICH THEY HAD ALSO USED THROUGHOUT THE 1960s!!!! AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO INCREDIBLY RARE!!!! BECAUSE, THIS ULTRA RARE 'RAREST EVER' MONO PRESSING WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED WITH THESE 'RAREST EVER' SILVER/BLACK 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABELS FOR 2 MONTHS ONLY (IN EARLY 1969) WHEN SALES OF THIS LP WERE EXTREMELY LOW INDEED - AND AS A RESULT, ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE!!!! THE 'EARLIER' BLUE/BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL VERSIONS OF THIS LP TURN UP REGULARLY (ALMOST EVERY WEEK!) - AS THEY WERE MADE CONTINUOUSLY FOR 5 WHOLE YEARS!!!! AND THE LATER 'SILVER/BLACK' LABELS (WITHOUT 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT!) - ARE ALSO VERY COMMON, AS THEY WERE MADE FOR 2 OR 3 WHOLE YEARS AFTER THIS ALSO!!!! BUT THIS ULTRA RARE 'SOLD IN THE UK' MONO PRESSING FROM EARLY 1969 - IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE, WAS ONLY EVER MADE FOR 2 MONTHS ONLY (IN EARLY 1969), AND ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER PRESSED!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
