HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY 'ONE OFF' WEDNESDAY NIGHT AUCTIONS (ENDING LATE WEDNESDAY 11TH MAY / EARLY THURSDAY 12TH!)!!!!

As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights (and these will still continue!)!!!!  However as I had quite a few extra items of UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week (they really are TOP QUALITY, and NOT cheap overstock!) and completely ran out of time to list them last Sunday - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions ending on Wednesday 11st May!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 11th May (and NOT Sunday!) - though of course, I will be putting more auctions on during the week for next Sundays auctions!!!!  And please don’t forget take a look at my other auctions, as there really are some INCREDIBLE items listed!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-

1) THE COVER FRONT DISPLAYS A 'LARGE MONO' IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER (LATER ONES ARE SMALLER!)

2) "WHAT KIND OF GIRL ARE YOU" IS CREDITED TO 'CAPEHART-CAMPBELL' ON THE LABELS AND THE COVER - WHEREAS ON LATER COPIES IT WAS CORRECTED TO 'CHARLES'!

3) "TALKIN' 'BOUT YOU" IS CREDITED TO 'CHARLES' AND APPEARS ON THE LABELS AND COVER AS "TALKIN' 'BOUT YOU" - WHEREAS ON LATER COPIES IT WAS CORRECTED TO 'BERRY' AND APPEARS AS "I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU"!

4) THE LABELS HAVE NO 'SOLD IN THE UK' ON THE LABELS (LATER ONES DID!).

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND IS STILL A VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE INDEED!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1964 UK MONO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1N/1N MONO MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DIFFERENT CREDITS TO THE COVER & LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS EMITEX 'POLY-LINED' INNER SLEEVE, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' MONO COVER (WITH 'LARGE' MONO ON THE COVER FRONT!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Parlophone UK 1st Pressing from 1964 and is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is PMC 1220 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Parlophone Label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear (apart from a TINY 'touched in' trace around the centre holes!), NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and MOST of the record looks BRILLIANT - with NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  However there are 4 ot 5 visible scuff marks in 1 place on 1 side ONLY - which although I will drop the grade for these (of course!) most of them are completely NON sounding!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO skips, a few clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good if not better - though without the 4 or 5 scuff marks in 1 place (1 side ONLY!) - this record would EASILY grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Emitex inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover (with 'Large' Mono text!) is in GREAT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from 2 or 3 TINY 'touched in' traces, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, only 1 TINY indentation, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
