THE BEATLES Hey Jude LP UK Original 1979 pressing

Welcome to my vinyl auctions.

Over a period of several years I am slowly listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast LP collection. The proceeds are going to his family.

Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click here.

I grade records conservatively to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LPs will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email address.

Artist: The Beatles

Title: Hey Jude

Country of Issue: UK

Year of Issue: 1979

Catalogue Number: PCS 7184

Matrix side one: YEX 981-1 HTM stamp

Condition of record: NM. Visually it's flawless with no marks or spindle wear. It plays beautifully. It's surely the nicest copy of this LP I've ever seen.

Further Notes: This is the original first UK release of Hey Jude from May 1979. The 1970 issue was pressed in the UK for export to the U.S.A. This was the first pressing to be issued to the UK market. The album includes most of The Beatles’ later singles released in 1968 and 1969 together with both sides of the 1966 single “Paperback Writer”. Two rather odd and out of sequence inclusions are “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “I Should Have Know Better” both from the “A Hard Day’s Night” album that were included in place of “The Inner Light” and “Get Back” even though their respective A and B sides, “Lady Madonna” and “Don’t Let Me Down”, are included. Full laminated “Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd” sleeve and white paper EMI custom inner sleeve.

I only accept paypal. If you wish to pay by any other means, please contact me prior to bidding.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE:
Ebay does not let me specify a greater shipping amount than $4 for US shipping in the listing, but I am in Canada and shipping a record to you in the US costs $10, not $4, so kindly disregard the listed shipping price and follow the shipping charges below. I will send you an invoice with the correct shipping amount shortly after the end of the auction. If you jump the gun and submit a payment with just $4 shipping I will send you a paypal invoice to cover the remaining $6, so it's better to wait for my invoice.
By bidding on my auction you are acknowledging that you have read and understood my shipping terms.
