Hi, I started collecting vinyl Lp's and 45's in 1971, I have 20,000 + which I have moved now 4 times, and about to move again next year. So it's time to let at least half go. Most are in at least Excellent condition.  I can't listen to them all, so most will only have visual grading, any with a high start price, I will listen too, and play grade.

E.P. 2xSINGLES INFO:

This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st PRESS "MONO" E.P. BEATLES - MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR.... with K & T Tax Stamps, "SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS SEE PRICE LISTS" & "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN..." label text.. On December 8th 1967 copies of the very first BEATLES double E.P. hit the shops, this version was the very first issued, it's impact on the charts was not known as Extended Singles sale did not show on the charts. This first pressing can easily be identified by there subtle differences, than the latter reissues i.e. The text on the centre of push out middle, also the tax stamp K&T on label and the grip teeth on 60's singles.  When you think most people owned Dansette's or the old fashion type of Radio Grams, I don't need to tell you how many 45's got scratched and ruined by heavy weighted arms and metal needles.  This is the very first press... and very rare single. This version hardly ever turns up these days and certainly not in this condition, or any reasonable condition!  A collectors dream ARCHIVE COPY! The cover is in stunning condition, made by Garrod & Lofthouse 1st issue. and is so near mint, and you would be hard pushed to find better..    

Well as you can see from the photographs this is a superb copy of The BEATLES 1962 beat single is in great condition! THE BEATLES - MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. E.P. MMT-1 MONO  on PARLOPHONE. I've played the single on my Pioneer PL- 550X The vinyl lays flat and there are NO warps. The sound is STILL GREAT WITH NO DISTORTION OR JUMPS! there are NO pops and very if at all any background crackle but  A truly wonderful listen. The stampers are MP & LR on side 1 & 2, LO & PG on side 3 & 4.  which is one the very first as far as I know. Even the original sleeve is un-split and has just a no creases.

VINYL: 

EXCELLENT+.  The vinyl is still bright and shows little signs of being played, most were played to death, but judging the lack of center hole wear, not this copy. There are NO deep penetrating scratches, just a few light spindle marks only visible under strong light.  

SLEEVE:

EXCELLENT+.  Wonderfully clean cover, and inner booklet. All the pages are still stapled in, with no writing or damage. The card gatefold is laminated with only a tiny rub on the bottom corner, otherwise near Mint damage, you would be hard push to find better. it has survived without picking up any staining or writing.Hard to beat condition.   

LABELS:

Clean, no damage there is a sticker on side 1,  A great condition labels on all sides have no visible damage as were common with beat 45's most have stickers or biro names written on them! The labels in great shape now half a century old. A great should I say investment to any BEATLES collection!  

AUDIO GRADING:

EXCELLENT. There are so many copies which are played to death, This copy plays with both channels playing without distortion, even pristine looking copies can hide the damage distortion caused by a damaged or blunt stylus. The playback is bright and sharp, an exceptional playing copy, yes I listened all the way through loved it, just a little crackle here and there are NO pops or audible needle damage. The record is so loud in playback it does make you wonder why we started buying CD's... There are NO JUMPS, DISTORTION, OR FREQUENCIES DAMAGE.     

GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

PAYMENT:

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.
