*****HAPPY TO SHIP TO INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS! *****
In my continuing quest to bring you fine vinyl, I'm happy to offer the record(s) listed above.  (and of course, as usual, please check out my other listings to find things that you may need).
Couldn't believe it when I found this 'in the wild'. Beatles super-early promo on Swan ca. 1964.
Correct thinner typeface. No quotes. In English, not German. And the kicker...with blue printing. I verified this as (SWAN 4152.04C, SPIZER). George Martin credit! 
Side A: Light ringwear on label. A bit of dirt as well. Disc should have a CAREFUL cleaning to remove dirt and prints. Minor hairlines. Light scratching is somewhat prevalent. 
Sparingly played, as the groovewear is evident, but not overwhelming.  Still plenty of gloss and shine, albeit a bit dulled by time. 
Variation 1 for deadwax on side 1: (MASTERING RECO-ART PHILA. S-4152-S-1A C2) is correctly machine-stamped.
Side B: Label, while still a bit dirty, is in better shape than side A. NOTE: there are no chips, rips, tears or  stains on either label. And you won't find any sol/stol/wol. A few more light scratches than side A. See above for possible recommendation of careful(!) cleaning and dusting. Some dirt and prints. 
Variation 1 for deadwax on side 2: (S-4152-I-1B A5 VIRTUE STUDIO). Correctly hand-etched on the b-side. 
I'd normally be tempted to put "Weak VG+" for this record, but as we all know, the age of a record has nothing  to do with the grading. That being said, I'll place both sides somewhere in the space between high VG and low VG+.
Given the rarity of this single, I'm just glad that I have a copy to offer to my customers! 
Ephemera/various: Will ship in either a plain white sleeve or correct record company sleeve (if available). 
As with all records, a careful dusting/cleaning may be required for optimum playback. 
FIVE DAY ONLY SALE. VISUAL GRADING ONLY!!
Please see and examine pictures, as they are part of the listing. If you would like additional pics, just let me know!
ADDENDUM: As I am expecting this record to have a fairly high value, I will be sending it insured. The insurance will be on my dime, and because I'm pretty excited about offering this...FREE SHIPPING  WORLDWIDE! 
As per usual, I will declare the full value on customs. I know that some of my customers don't like that, and I apologize in advance. Adding VAT/GST to an already expensive purchase is the classic definition  of adding insult to injury. However, for this item only, I will split the VAT/GST with the winning bidder. 
NOTE: Due to 'world issues', there are mail delays in just about all countries. Please allow for some  extra time for shipments to arrive...for example: I have seen intra-US shipments sit in a  Post Office for roughly 2 weeks...BEFORE EVEN BEING SCANNED AS "RECEIVED" .
Note: when I say "world issues", I am not being coy nor funny. eBay does not allow sellers to use the word "divoc" in any part of a listing. Obviously, uoy nac erugif tuo tahw "divoc" si. So, I had to pick a synonym. 
Priority Mail packages have taken as long as 7 days, add a few more days for First Class,  and even more time for Media Mail. That's for the U.S. 
International customers? ...  PLEASE EXPECT SERIOUS SERVICE DELAYS FOR SHIPMENTS TO/FROM THE US!
Please be patient. I will always go to bat for my customers, and I will take care  of the needs of the customer and transaction, but I cannot make USPS work faster. 
It is also worth noting that GXG packages (the most expensive that USPS offers)...are NOT subject to delays! Extremely pricey, however; shipping an 8oz package to the UK via GXG is $118 USD. 
It is preferable that payment be made ASAP, however, due to various circumstances,  I'm allowing up to three days for payment to be made. Anything after that, and an unpaid item case automatically opens. If you don't plan on paying, then don't bid.
Shipping: 
I'm happy to combine shipping for orders! 
No matter how many 45's you purchase (in the lower 48 of the US), the shipping cost will never go over the current Media Mail rate (currently $3.11). 
For Canada, Mexico, EU and Japan, I will be using the following criteria:
First Class International Shipping. Shipping costs are determined by destination and weight. As  I'm certain you're aware, shipping costs were pricey before 'world issues', and due to various complications, et al, now costs are even higher. 
As an example, here are the shipping costs to all of Canada / Mexico. EU/Japanese buyers should expect to pay considerably more. 
  1-8 oz will be at least $14.25 USD.
9-32 oz will be at least $21.25 USD.
33oz and up until the next increase in price will be at least $33.00 USD.
NOTE: I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO SHIP TO AUSTRALIA or NEW ZEALAND DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASON(S):

If the link above is not accessible, here's the raw data (updated info from USPS as of 10/8/2021).
The Postal Service is temporarily suspending international mail acceptance for certain destinations due to impacts,

Suspension Due to Unavailability of Transportation

Australia * New Zealand **
*Australia's service disruption affects Priority Mail International® (PMI), First-Class Package International Service® (FCPIS®), Commercial ePacket (CeP), International Priority Airmail® (IPA®) packets and International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) packets only.
**New Zealand?s service disruption affects Priority Mail International® (PMI), First-Class Package International Service® (FCPIS®), Commercial ePacket (CeP), International Priority Airmail® (IPA®) packets, International Priority Airmail® (IPA®) M-Bags, International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) packets, International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) M-Bags, and Airmail M-Bags.
I ship all of my (soon to be your ) items as such:
1. Paper sleeve (will match company of the record if available), poly outer sleeve.  2. Cardboard stiffeners for added package strength (when available; if not available, I'll use raw cardboard).  3. A stiffener is placed under the record, then the next one is turned at 90° with the record in between. 4. Specialized mailing boxes are exclusively used for mailing 45rpm records (or LP's).
If you are getting more than one record from me, please WAIT until I send you an invoice. If you consecutively  purchase several items and pay for them including each shipping charge, I will have to void all of the sales and  start from scratch. I am pretty diligent about checking my listings, and if you do get more than one item from me, all you have to do is wait! :)
Any questions? Please feel free to contact me. I've an open-door policy! :) I WILL happily process returns if the item  arrives damaged, or is significantly different than advertised. I will NOT process refunds due to buyer's remorse,  I'm sorry to say. 
PayPal and credit cards ONLY. Cash is also acceptable, upon approval from me. Most importantly, cash sent through the mail is the buyer's responsibility until I receive it. If I don't receive it, or it's been  purloined during mailing, I cannot process a refund and the sale will be cancelled. Not trying to be  a jerk about this, but I do have to cover my, ahem, posterior. 
See my feedback and bid with confidence!
