NOT ONLY AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE LABEL VARIATION HARDLY EVER SEEN WITHOUT THE  CREDIT FOR " A DAY IN THE LIFE " BUT IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH ALSO A SUPER UK MONO COPY  IN IT'S OWN RIGHT FULLY COMPLETE WITH INSERT & FOOL INNER AND ALSO  WITH THE MUCH RARER IN MONO PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE TEXT  ....L@@K

A SMALL NUMBER OF MONO SLEEVES ALSO HAD THE PATENTS PENDING TEXT ON THEM WHICH IS NORMALLY SEEN ON THE " FOURTH PROOF " SLEEVES. THIS IS NOT A FOURTH PROOF BUT DOES HAVE THE RARE PATENTS PENDING TEXT SHOWING SO IT'S A LUCKY DOUBLE RARITY FOR THE WINNING BIDDER COUPLED WITH THIS IMPOSSIBLY FAMOUS LABEL ERROR L@@K...

THE ORIGIN OF THIS ERROR IS UNCLEAR, IT WOULD SEEM SOMETHING WENT AMISS WHEN A NEW BATCH OF LABELS WERE PRINTED LATE IN 1968, NEEDELESS TO SAY IT WAS HASTILY CORRECTED AND HARDLY ANY TURN UP FOR SALE THESE DAYS. THE BEATLES COLLECTING DOT CO DOT UK WEBSITE  

' At some point (believed to be during 1968) when label printing plates were changed as they wore out, it appears one set of plates were mistakenly altered and the song A Day In The Life on the side 2 label was omitted from the tracklist!

A major mistake such as this was obviously soon rectified so very few copies are out there and  those which turn up sell for large sums. '

AND WHATS MORE A LOVELY COPY TOO - ANYBODY WHO HAS TRAWLED THE INTERNET AND BOUGHT WHAT THEY HAD THOUGHT LOOKED LIKE A FABULOUS STANDARD COPY OF THIS LP ONLY TO BE DISSAPOINTED TIME AND TIME AGAIN UPON IT'S ARRIVAL WILL KNOW WHERE I AM COMMING FROM.... FOR SOME REASON ( PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE GROUNDBREAKING LACK OF RACK BANDING ) THESE EARLY PEPPERS UPON CLOSE INSPECTION APPEAR DULLED WITH MANY SURFACE / BAG REMOVAL MARKS  MARKS. ALSO THE EARLIER FLIPBACK SLEEVES ALSO SEEM TO SURVIVE BADLY, ESPECIALLY AT THE SPINE SO IT IS SUCH A JOY TO KNOW THAT WITH THIS COPY YOU ARE GUARENTEED NOT TO BE DISSAPOINTED ...

AND LIKE I SAY THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE BETTER YELLOW BLACK PARLOPHONE  ISSUE PEPPERS I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO HANDLE AND AS WELL AS BEING IN MONO WHICH STARDARD COPIES ARE FAR MORE DESIRABLE ( EVEN THOUGH STEREO Y/B PEPPERS ARE ACTUALLY PROBABLY RARER ) MAINLY BECAUSE THE BEATLES WERE INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN THE MONO MIX AND BECAUSE IT IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO MIX WHICH IS THE MIX MOST OF US ARE MOST FAMILAIR WITH.

 GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !- YOU MADE NEED IT TO BAG THIS BEAUTY !

DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY AND ARE GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID ! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW 

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

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.

 (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 )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

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…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...
