A  MEGA RARE SMALL STEREO  EXAMPLE    GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!

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.

DOMESTIC UK DISPATCH WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY  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 

 (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 BE READ

ANY ADDITIONAL LP'S SENT VIA COMBINED POSTAGE WILL USALLY BE AROUND AN ADDITION G 2.00 PER LP

=====================================================

A SUPER EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE RAREST U.K. BEATLES SLEEVE VARIANT A MEGA RARE SMALL STEREO SLEEVED COPY   L@@K 

EMI CHANGED TO THE SMALL STEREO ( AND MONO ) DURING 1965 BUT ITS APPLICATION WAS RATHER AD HOC, PLEASE PLEASE ME FOR EXAMPLE CHANGED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEREAS BEATLES FOR SALE NEVER CHANGED AT ALL. THE STORY OF HELP IS EVEN STRANGER, THESE SMALL STEREO SLEEVES APPEAR IN 1969 AND LAST UNTIL c1971 BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE OTHER SLEEVES THEY RAN ALONGSIDE THEM !!

EMI STOPPED PUTTING STEREO AND MONO ON NEW LP'S DURING 1967 BUT THEY DID NOT START DOING THIS ON EXISTING LP'S UNTIL 1969 SO FOR A TIME IN 1969 YOU COULD GET THIS LP WITH ONE OF THREE SLEEVES, THE USUAL OUTLINED STEREO, NO STEREO AT ALL, AND THIS ONE, THE SMALL STEREO.

IT IS EASILY THE RAREST OF THESE THREE VARIATIONS AND IS HARDLY EVER SEEN AND PROBABLY AS RARE AS THE OUTLINED STEREO A HARD DAYS NIGHT !!
