I have collected records since I was very young, however Iincreasingly I have realised that I have far too many, and soI have been slowly trying to rationalise my extensive collection over the years, I have sold many major rarities over the years, from major BEATLES and 60s rarities, through PUNK and PROG ROCK, CLASSICAL and BLUES. Basically I've had alot of very rare records and in dribs and drabs have sold them off. I've never had negative feedback, and had many repeat customers.
I will only post completely insured and tracked.
THE BEATLES RAREST EP Nowhere Man 1st Press GEP 8952 SIUK 1O1P
Here we have the rarest of the UK EPs from the Beatles, and also the final one. The Beatles has dominated the singles charts so strongly for years by now,that they'd even done the unthinkable and been knocking other artists' singles off the charts with EPs! However, as 1965 rolled on,the 60s were taking another turn, this time slightly more cerebrally, and indeed often into the world of albums, or soon even double albums! That isn'tto say that singles were irrelavent, or even that the charts wouldn't continue to be massively dominated by The Beatles! But that enchanting middle-ground of Extended Plays, was shrinking, as more and more record buyers were either buying the single or saving up for the album, and not feeling the need tostop off half way at the EP! As such Nowhere Man (GEP 8952), a selection of tracks from the very new sounding Rubber Soul LP, didn't sell many copies at all, and today is the hardest standard UK EP title to get, by a country mile!
Here then is one such copy, comeplete with original sleeve (the rarer "rounded" edged flip-back tabs version too, no less!) This also has the very early mother/stamper codes of 1O/1P respectively.
Record Condition: VG The surfaces are nice, clearly played, but stillwith a decent sheen,there are a few more visible marks, but beyond the odd, hardly noticable tick  the audio is great! Luckily these more noticable marks steer away from quiet passages, but even when youlisten for themin the louder passages, they aren't really easily spottable,beyond a few light ticks on the fade-out to Drive My Car. A lovely record, with great audio,and still in an original 1960s EP inner sleeve (whether original or not to this release, that's how it's been living!)
Labels Condition: VG also very nice, these 1st pressing labels with that tantelising "Sold In UK..." text are in a similar condition to the playing surfaces a little wear,with a few slightly more visible spindle indents,but absolutely no grafitti/stains/tears/or abrasions,beyond a little spindle rub around the central spindle holes. Really nice, KT tax code embossed to the centre of Side 2.
Sleeve Condition: VG Also similar condition to the surfaces and labels. This is the rarer "rounded" flip-back tabbed version of the sleeve, and whilst it has been handled pretty carefully,there is an odd laminate crinckling across the front,I don't know how this would happen,and can't recall having observed it before. There is slight handling to the corners, and a small (less than 1cm) nick to the opening mouth edge. The non-laminated rear sleeve is actually quite clean and crisp,with slight laminate lift/loss on some of the flip back tabs, and light handling,but absolutely free from grafitti, tears etc. Really great to find this EP,and even better to find it in a rounded tab sleeve!
