 McCARTNEY ~ McCARTNEY (1970)

 

INCREDIBLY RARE “INCLUDES THE HIT SINGLE: ‘MAYBE I’M AMAZED’” HYPE STICKER

ORIGINAL 1970 HANSEN PUBLICATIONS, INC. “McCARTNEY” ILLUSTRATED MATCHING MUSIC BOOK WITH THE INTACT POSTER

 

            

 

Original 1st US pressing of Paul McCartney's debut 1970 self-titled album “McCartney” with an original Hansen Publications, Inc. “McCartney” illustrated 68-page matching music book containing a large four-panel 16” x 21” poster with the intact perforation and color portrait photos. The currently listed copy has remained factory sealed for 54 years with the fully intact shrink wrap having the original breathe holes, one on each side of the album. The front side of the gatefold cover contains an incredibly rare hype sticker affixed to the shrink wrap, which can be found only on the very early 1st pressing copies of this album, promoting the “Maybe I’m Amazed” hit from the album which hadn’t been previously released as a single. The hype sticker measures 1½” reading “Includes the Hit ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’” East Coast pressing copy with the "Manufactured by APPLE RECORDS INC. 1700 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10019 Printed in U.S.A." 3-line credits at the bottom of the back cover. Among our currently listed items, you can also find this album in another format, a factory sealed Mint copy of 7½ IPS 4-Track Stereo AMPEX reel-to-reel tape.


The album is graded as Mint Minus. Aside from a light ding to the bottom left corner, it's in stunning condition with the fully intact factory shrink wrap containing the original breathe hole on the front cover and not having any splits, tears or missing pieces. The original matching music book is in great vintage condition only having some very light age scuffing on the front and back cover.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

 

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

 

I don't have the information concerning the existing customs regulations and policies in your country. Before placing a bid please find out more details about it yourself. I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation. My capabilities are limited to the professional packing that assures a safe transit throughout the way and fastest shipping dates. After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country. If you have any negative experience related to the postal service and you'd like to insure the purchased item please contact me about it beforehand.
