READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning. I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.
So with that said…
Beatles 4-LP 1973 Alpha Omega Vol. 2 Astonishingly RARE PINK BOX, EX!
This pink box pressing is so rare that many, if not most collectors don’t even know there is one! You might see one come up for sale once every decade, and that’s IF you’re paying attention, like I am. This is only the second one I’ve ever seen since 1975, when I started collecting.
**The rarer Vol. 2 flyer is included!**
Vinyl
Record 1--- VG+/EX. Side 1 has 3 or so visible light scuffs. Side 2 has precious few extremely light and small marks.
Record 2--- NM/NM. This LP looks unplayed, both sides.
Record 3--- EX/EX. Just 2 or 3 very light marks per side.
Record 4--- NM/NM. This LP looks unplayed, both sides.
Plates--- ATRBH Vol. 2 (Side Number) on each dead wax.
Box--- VG+. One corner is broken on the lid, none on the bottom tray. Moderate wear to the top of the front cover, moderate edgewear to the back cover.
Flyer--- EX. Vol. 2 flyers are tough to find anyway, but this one has been kept remarkably flat and razor-sharp. One very light crease. NO FINGER DIVOTS.
Labels--- Side 1 label is VG+. A very small section under the playhole is torn. See photo. All the rest are EX or NM, the only trespass being small cracks around the playhole when they were applied at the factory. See photos.
Inner Sleeves--- All EX plain white sleeves, NO SPLIT SEAMS.
As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up. Thanks!)
Note: All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.
CAUTION! There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids. A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.
Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!
(Please note: Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized. The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle. Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix? Thanks!)
