Please note: I have no interest in making items seem better than they are.  "It is what it is".  I try to describe as accurately as possible all issues with everything I sell.  Check my feedback, please.

My dear INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, please wait for an invoice before paying so we can furnish you with correct shipping fees.  We recommend inquiring re: real world shipping rates to your location before bidding.  Please submit your request in time for me to answer.  Our post office is closed on the weekends.

Up for auction is a TRUE FIRST ISSUE Los Angeles factory pressing of the very first title released by Apple Records...

"HEY JUDE" b/w "Revolution" Apple 2276

This is the very first title released on the Beatles' Apple Records on August 26th, 1968.  Accompanying this disc is the very first West Coast Apple company TAB CUT sleeve that was issued with the first four titles, though other titles are reported to have been released with this sleeve.  The ghosting around the perimeter of the labels appeared on every first pressing from the L.A. factory.  The scarce TAB CUT SLEEVE is in beautiful VG+++ condition sans splits, stickers or writing.  This record is in terrific VG+++ condition, but so many sellers would call both NEAR MINT!  The Los Angeles factory asterisk is stamped into the dead wax.  A rare and historic set, ma'peeps.

I am dumping my collection, ma'peeps.  Listing almost all of the Apple label promos at the moment and over the next few weeks.  I've got great stuff and a significant event if you collect Apple records.  What are you missing?

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE:  Due to a recent, unfortunate experience, we now require international buyers to purchase tracking and insurance on items.  We tried to save you money, but fell victim to fraud.  We will always combine shipping on multiple items to save money.  I hope you all understand.  And thanks for bidding.

Please see my other auctions.  Shipping combined for multiple orders.  Shipping balance refunded if actual shipping differs from ebay quote.

PLEASE ask any questions in time for me to answer them.  Check out the pics and check out my feedback.

Thanks for your interest!!!

The fine print...

We will ship via USPS First Class mail unless otherwise requested from buyer.

Please know that we usually ship on Mondays, so if payment is received later, your item most likely will not ship until the following Monday.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping.  Please email for accurate shipping info particularly if you are outside the U.S.  I will accommodate all shipping requests as best I can.  We don't make money on shipping, folks.  We prefer PayPal, but US checks are accepted.  Items will ship after checks clear, so it slows thing down.  International customers must remit payment via Paypal.  No personal checks from outside the U.S., please. Payment is due within 5 days of auction's end.  We reserve the right to relist.  Please contact us with any questions.  We think this should be fun, folks.  Communication is key to a smooth transaction.
