THE BEATLES - LOVE SONGS 2LP RED/ORANGE STARBURST EXPERIMENTAL FACTORY PRESSING

$

1,025

Welcome to Waxworx Records on Ebay!

Record Grading VG+.   Marks on vinyl, play tested and plays with occasional noise throughout, was not VPI'd at time of test play.

Jacket Grading VG+.  Shelf wear evident to jacket.  Ring forming and slight wear to edges.  This is an exceptionally hard jacket to find in mint shape!  Please keep in mind we typically under-grade, therefore this sleeve appears is worse condition on the listing than actual, this is done to make all buyers happy.

LONG OUT-OF-PRINT LP.   VERY RARE oddball pressing from the Willowdale plant, Mississauga Ontario.  PLEASE NOTE this was sent from the factory in this state, it was NOT doctored in any way.  This is the GOLD vinyl variant, in the original leatherbound/gold embossed jacket.  The exceptional part is the second gold record has a red/gold starburst throughout the disc, please see pictures for best possible description.  These (and a few others to come in the future) were acquired by an individual who worked at the Willowdale Ontario plant where these LPs were pressed.  They were bought as part of a collection which contained many subsequent Capitol Records Beatles variants.  Several among this collection were abstract variations of standard releases.  Without a verbal 'documentation' (the individual is deceased), it will be impossible to denote how these albums were pressed in such a fashion.  It was surmised, from several Beatles enthusiasts, that these were plant employee 'experimentation', and very few exist.  In the end, you will have to make your own judgements.  In the years of collecting/selling/acquiring records, I have never seen examples such as these.  VERY cool and VERY COLLECTIBLE examples of otherwise common Beatles reissues.  Matrix numbers on both LPs match the matrix number of the jacket.  This is the second and last oddity from this collection, the Blue/white streaked "1967-1970" is also listed currently.  I MUST remind the viewer that this is NOT a perfect copy for audio playback.  It does have noise on playback, not significant, but it is present.  This is however, an exceptionally rare variant of this album, and one that should be in the hands of a true Beatles collector.  Keep this in mind when considering this purchase.. will you see another like this ever?  I know I haven't, and likely won't again.  I will also point out that the original inner sleeves do NOT have the same code as the record jacket, I have put a picture that compares both numbers for your viewing.

Released in Canada on the Capitol label.  SEBX-11844
