Description
HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' THURSDAY AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE THURSDAY 1ST INTO EARLY FRIDAY 2ND!)!!!!
As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights - and my next set of auctions will STILL end as usual on Sunday 4th November (they will start to be listed during the week!)!!!! But as I had quite a few extra items of overstock and also UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Thursday auctions!!!! So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Thursday 1st November (NOT Sunday!) - and MANY more will be listed on Monday & Wednesday aswell, ALL ending Thursday 1st November!!!! And there will be some EXTREMELY rare items indeed (see other items)!!!! Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-
Far FAR too much to write in one of my normal descriptions! So it is simply described below! Given to its one previous owner as a birthday present in 1982 - and barely EVER played! Almost NEVER turns up for sale now - and very VERY hard to find! FULL details below:-
RARITY:- VERY rare indeed! Cost a HUGE amount to buy back in 1982 and only a few hundred ever sold! One of the Beatles rarest EVER releases and VERY seldom seen today!
COUNTRY:- UK
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING - 'TEXTURED' BLUE BOX SET (WITH GOLD PRINT!) + 26 SINGLES & PICTURE SLEEVES + 'CHART POSITION' BLUE INSERT!
ARTIST:- THE BEATLES
TITLE:- THE BEATLES SINGLES COLLECTION
CAT NUMBER:- BSC 1
LABEL:- PARLOPHONE
DATE:- 1982
SIGNS OF PLAY:- ALL SINGLES HAVE EITHER:- 1 PLAY TO ONE SIDE (3 OR 4 SINGLE), 1 PLAY TO BOTH SIDES (MOST SINGLES), 2 OR 3 PLAYS (3 OR 4 SINGLES) OR UNPLAYED (2 OR 3 SINGLES)! IN SHORT - ALL HAVE BEEN BARELY PLAYED AT ALL!
LABELS:- ALL BASICALLY NM OR M (ALL AS MANUFACTURED - WITH SPINDLE TRAILS RELATING TO MINIMAL PLAY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE).
GRADING:- ALL SINGLES MUST GRADE AT LEAST EXCELLENT - WITH MOST GRADING EXCELLENT+ OR EVEN NM! A TRULY SUPERB SET OF SINGLES! ALL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL 'FACTORY FRESH' SHINE!
SLEEVE:- ALL SLEEVES MUST GRADE MINIMUM EXCELLENT. SOME ARE EXCELLENT+ AND SOME ARE EVEN NM! All there is to report is a touch of edge wear on couple (purely from sitting against the inside of the box), minimal creasing, a couple of sleeve seem to have TINY stains at the VERY bottom (though 90% DONT!) and there are NO rips or tears! Acouple also have minimal record impressions on the reverse - but again most DONT! Perhaps if you were the STRICTEST grader in the world - a couple of the sleeves might grade VG++++ (but definitely touching Excellent!) - but in short ALL are VERY fresh looking, and ALL are VERY nice indeed!
OUTER BOX:- VERY NICE SOLID EXAMPLE THAT MUST GRADE AT LEAST VG++++ AND VERY CLOSE TO A GRADE ABOVE! Absolutely NO major defects AT ALL! There is a bit of 'standing wear' on the VERY bottom of the box (almost unavoidable!), some creases along the hinge (but NO splits!), and some VERY minor corner wear! Gold Print is PERFECT! NO damage and NO dents! Basically a very VERY nice outer box that gives a VERY good account of itself! Not quite Excellent - but a very VERY nice example all the same!
INSERT:- NM!
DEFECTS OUTSIDE OF THE GRADE GIVEN:- N/A
THIS BOX SET WILL BE SENT WITH ALL RECORDS OUT OF THE PICTURE SLEEVES TO AVOID SPLITTING!!!!
Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs & 45s and contact me with any queries you may have. Postal discounts for multiple buys are always available - and I guarantee to ALWAYS undercharge on postage! Paypal, Bank Transfers, Cheques, International Money Orders, and Postal Orders accepted.

PLEASE NOTE - I WILL POST TO ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! POSTAGE CHARGES ON THIS ITEM ARE ALSO AN ESTIMATION! IF IT IS ANY LESS THAN I QUOTE - I WILL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE! IF IT IS ANY MORE THAN I QUOTE (WHICH I THINK IT WILL BE!) - YOU CAN KEEP THE DIFFERENCE! PERSONALLY I THINK I HAVE QUOTED VERY LOW - AS THIS IS A VERY HEAVY BOX SET!
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
