I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL SOME OF MY OWN PERSONAL BEATLES COLLECTION. THESE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE OFFERING UP FOR AUCTION OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS OR SO HAVE SAT IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS AND IT HAS TAKEN ME MANY MANY YEARS TO GATHER THE BEST COPIES OF THESE RECORDS THAT I CAN FIND. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE REGULARLY BOUGHT FROM ME WILL UNDERSTAND THAT I ONLY LIST RECORDS THAT ARE NEAR MINT OR MINT AND THAT IN THE MAIN INCLUDES ANY BEATLES ALBUMS THAT I LIST FROM TIME TO TIME. YOU CAN THEREFORE BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THESE ALBUMS THAT YOU WILL FIND UNDER MY NAME FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, AND WILL BE COPIES THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN.

YOU MIGHT ASK WHY I AM SELLING. WELL FIRSTLY I AM NOT SELLING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION, AS I HAVE MANY PRESSES OF EACH TITLE, BUT I AM CHERRY PICKING SOME OF THE RARER AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER PRESSES BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO BUY THAT SELLING THESE GEMS WILL FUND.

THERE WILL BE SOME SUPERB COPIES UP FOR GRABS OVER THIS PERIOD WHICH WILL START TODAY AND CULMINATE ON TUESDAY 29TH WHEN I WILL BE LISTING MY MOST VALUABLE ALBUM THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM 0000041 MONO. IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE ME A SENSIBLE OFFER ON THE WHITE ALBUM BEFORE I LIST IT THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE.

I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THESE ALBUMS WILL BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY POSSIBLE, AND THEREFORE I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE IF THE DESCRIPTIONS SOUND SIMILAR, IT'S REALLY BECAUSE THE RECORDS ALL ARE OF A SIMILAR QUALITY NEAR MINT OR MINT. I WILL OF COURSE DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE SLEEVES, AND ANY MINOR DEFECTS THAT ARE VISIBLE.

SO GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FOR ANY OF THESE. I WILL BE SORRY TO PART WITH THEM, BUT AS I SAY I WANT SOMETHING ELSE THAT REQUIRES ME TO DO THIS.

THIS IS A VERY VERY SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM WHICH WAS RELEASED BY THE APPLE LABEL IN CONJUNCTION WITH FLEXI DISC SPECIALISTS LYNTONE. THE BEATLES PRODUCED A FLEXI DISC EACH CHRISTMAS FOR THEIR FAN CLUB RELEASED ON THE LYNTONE LABEL. THESE MESSAGES WERE ISSUED FROM 1963-69 INCLUSIVE. THERE IS SOME VERY RECORDINGS ON THEM WHERE THE BOYS IN A LIGHT HEARTED APPROACH TAKE ON TRADITIONAL AS WELL AS THEIR OWN SONGS AND GIVE A NEW STYLE TO THEM. THE ALBUM WAS ISSUED SHORTLY AFTER LET IT BE AND AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE DIDN'T EXACTLY SET THE WORLD ALIGHT AS MOST OF THE FAN CLUB WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD THE FLEXI DISCS. THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY HOWEVER TO GET THEM ALL ON ONE DISC.

A WORD OF CAUTION. THERE ARE MANY MANY COUNTERFEIT COPIES OF THIS OUT ON THE MARKET, BUT HERE WE HAVE A GENUINE ORIGINAL. POINTLESS STATING 1ST PRESS AS THERE WAS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE ONLY EVER ONE PRESS

THE RECORD

THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT, AND ARE THE DARK GREEN APPLE TYPE.THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR AT ALL , AND IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING FOR THE SPIDER LINES THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED FEWER THAN 5 TIMES. I HAVE ONLY EVER PLAYED IT ONE TIME IN THE 5 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT.

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.THE ONLY WISPS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE ARE THE FEW THAT ARE VISIBLE ONLY UNDER THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE ILLUMINATION.

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE, THERE IS TOTAL RUN IN NEAR SILENCE!

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND ON ANY TRACK OF THIS ALBUM, AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ALBUM THAT SHOWED GROOVE WEAR IN MY COLLECTION. THIS OF COURSE WOULD HAVE BEEN OBTAINED IF THE RECORD HAD BEEN SUBJECTED TO A HEAVY OR WORN STYLUS.

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THOUGH BOTH SIDES PRODUCING THE CLEAREST POSSIBLE SOUND QUALITY FROM THIS MAGNIFICENT VINYL. AT THE START OF EACH SIDE THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND. VERY VERY QUIET AND NOT PRODUCED BY ANYTHING IN THE VINYL. I SUSPECT IT WAS ON THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION FROM THE FLEXI DISCS. AS I SAY THOUGH IN NO WAY DOES IT INTERFERE WITH THE SUPERB QUALITY OF THIS PRESSING.

EACH LINKING GROOVE ONCE AGAIN PROVES JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS AS EACH TIME ONE TRACK ENDS THERE IS A NEAR SILENT GAP BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW TRACK.

TO SUM UP A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE BEATLES PRESSING THAT WILL GRACE ANY COLLECTION, AND DESPITE THE FEW LIGHT STATIC NOISES STILL GRADES MINT MINUS FOR PLAY. AND THE SAME VISUALLY

THE SLEEVE

IT IS VERY VERY HARD TO FIND THIS SLEEVE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN ABUSED CONDITION. I THINK IN THE MAIN BECAUSE IT IS MADE OF THINNER CARD THAN MOST BEATLES ALBUMS PREVIOUSLY. IT SUFFERS USUALLY FROM TERRIBLE CREASING AND RINGWEAR, AND EVEN TEARS.

THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN SUPER CONDITION. I CAN STATE THAT THERE ARE NO LARGE OR EVEN MID SIZED CREASES ANYWHERE AT ALL ON THIS SLEEVE. EVEN THE SMALL LAMINATE LINES USUALLY FOUND NEAR THE SPINE ARE CONFINED TO A TOTAL OF 4-5 NEAR INVISIBLE ONES. THERE IS ALSO NO RING WEAR. THE WHITE SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB WHITE CONDITION.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THE SPINE IS FLAT CLEAN AND HAS NO TYPEFACE ON IT AT ALL. THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY VERY SHARP AND ADEQUATELY DEPICTS HOW FEW TIMES THE RECORD HAS ACTUALLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION . IT HAS THE CORRECT "PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY WEST BROTHERS" TO SHOW IT AS A GENUINE SLEEVE.

THERE IS A FAINT TRACE OF RINGWEAR AS SHOWN BY THE LIGHT DARK OUTLINE OF THE RECORD, BUT EVEN THIS IS NOT AN INDENTATION OF THE DISC.

 A TRULY SPLENDID EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND EASILY WARRANTS AN EXCELLENT PLUS GRADE

GOOD LUCK
