BEATLES " MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR " AWESOME UK1ST EP RARE STEREO

	£		79
	$		105

THIS A NOT ONLY A SUPERB NOT FAR OFF NEAR MINT TOP TOP COPY OF A MUCH MUCH RARER STEREO PRESSING STILL WITH IT'S WHITE INNERS ( AND with blue lyric sheet of course )  BUT ALSO WITHOUT ANY TAX STAMP FOR DISC ONE !

L@@K...

EMI CEASED STAMPING TAX CODES ON DISCS AT THE END OF 1968 ( ALTHOUGH THEY WOULD STILL VERY RARELY CROP UP FROM TIME TO TIME IN ERROR UNTIL THE EARLY 70'S ). THIS IS QUITE RARE TO SEE ON A DISC WITH THE SOLD IN UK TEXT. 

 WHEN FIRST RELEASED IN 1967 AND UP UNTIL 1969 MONO WAS BY FAR AND AWAY THE MORE DOMINIANT FORMAT AND THE DEMAND FOR STEREO VARIANTS WAS TINY AND SO WERE PRESSED ACCORDINGLY, INDEED MOST SMALL RECORD SHOPS ( WHICH WERE RESONSIBLE FOR MOST RECORDS SALES UP UNTIL THE 1970'S ) DIDN'T EVEN STOCK STEREO RECORDS AND THESE WERE USUALLY ONLY AVAILABLE BY MAKING A SPECIAL ORDER WITH THEM FROM THE FACTORY !

THIS IS ESPECIALLY SO WITH THIS EP FORMAT STEREO FIRST PRESSINGS WITH THE SOLD IN UK TEXT ARE TINY IN PROPORTION TO MONO'S - ONLY THE LATER PRESSING WITHOUT SOLD IN UK ARE MORE COMMON.

REMEMBER THIS RELEASE WAS TREATED LIKE A SINGLE, IT WAS ONLY KEPT OFF THE TOP OF THE SINGLES CHART BY THE BEATLES OWN " HELLO GOODBYE " AT THE BEGINING OF 1968

DOMESTIC UK POSTAGE NOTE: FOR UK BIDDERS  ALL ITEMS  WILL NOW BE SENT VIA 2ND CLASS RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY AS PER MY LISTING AS THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTE BELOW 

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE ...MY RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED     

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 (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY 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 BE READ,

….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 9.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP ...COMBINED MAIL IS AVAILABLE
