ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING THE BEATLES,DUE TO A DAUGHTER AT UNIVERSITY AND THE NEED TO STREAMLINE MY COLLECTION, I AM GRADUALLY SELLING OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS SOME OF THE MANY DIFFERENT COPIES I HAVE FOUND OF THE BEATLES AND RELATED ARTISTS ALBUMS,SINGLES AND OTHER FORMAT ITEMS. BEING A WELL KNOWN COLLECTOR AND DEALER YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE SOME AMAZING AND IN SOME CASES VERY HARD TO FIND GEMS-ALL WITH CAREFUL GRADINGS AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION!

  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE 1967 EARLIEST EDITION OF THE BAND'S FAN CLUB ISSUED 5TH CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FLEXI DISC: "CHRISMAS TIME(IS HERE AGAIN)". CAPTURING THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT OF BEATLEMANIA AT IT'S PEAK IN 1967-THE YEAR OF THE BAND'S CLASSIC ALBUM "SGT.PEPPER". HOWEVER UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP THIS ONE HAS THE USUALLY MISSING NEWSLETTER WHICH HAS REMAINED WITH THE DISC SINCE 1967-READ BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND THEN CAREFULLY PLACED INSIDE THE COVER KEEPING IT CLEAN AND FLAT WHICH IS ALSO THE SAME CONDITION FOR THE DISC ITSELF WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE THEN WITH NO BUMPS OR DENTS THAT TEND TO BE IN THE MAJORITY OF COPIES MAKING THIS EXAMPLE ONE OF THE VERY BEST EXAMPLES EVER TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE NOT LEAST THE OUTER PICTURE COVER WHICH HAS A WHITENESS AND BRIGHTNESS THAT IS SIMPLY STUNNING-HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST 46 YEARS OLD!

THE COVER HAS NO WRITING,CREASES,STAINING,RIPS,FADING,REPAIRS, SPLITS OR ANY SIGNS OF WEAR! TRULY STUNNING!  THERE IS A SMALL "LINE" TO THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK WHICH LOOKS LIKE A CREASE BUT IS SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING CREASE AND IS NOT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL A "HUMAN FAULT".

NOT ONLY THAT,THE SINGLE SIDED FLEXI HAS SHARP,CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,FADING,WRITING OR SPINDLE WEAR.

JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES AND TRY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!  PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN-NOTHING TO HIDE AND PLENTY TO BE AMAZED BY-YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO FIND A BETTER ONE THAN THIS!  BACK TO THE RECORD ITSELF-THERE IS THE USUAL SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE THAT YOU GET WITH FLEXI DISCS BUT THIS COPY HAS VERY CLEAR SOUND FAR,FAR LESS SURFACE NOISE THAN MOST COPIES AROUND-STRICTLY NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS-NO NASTY "WOBBLE"-THE DISC IS 100% FLAT AND IS EASILY THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER FOUND OF THIS DELICATE RECORD THAT MOST BEATLES FANS THREW AWAY AFTER THE INITIAL NOVELTY OF GETTING IT-REMEMBER YOU HAD TO BE IN THE UK FAN CLUB TO GET THIS AND WHILST THE CONTENTS HAVE BEEN REISSUED-THIS IS THE REAL DEAL-THE GENUINE ORIGINAL AND FIRST ISSUE PRESSED BY LYNTONE IN DECEMBER 1967! LYN 1360. THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS-THE SURFACES TRULY GLEAM WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED" LOOK-JUST THE SLIGHT"PATCHY"LOOK THAT FLEXI DISCS HAVE IF HELD IN A CERTAIN ANGLE BUT THAT IS A MANUFACTURING AFFECT NOT BAD STORAGE!. SERIOUS AND STRICT GRADING NEAR MINT CONDITION-MOST WOULD HAPPILY STATE MINT BUT IN MY OPINION MINT DOES NOT EXIST UNLESS THE ITEM IS TRULY UNPLAYED OR SEALED!

DURING THE 1960s,THESE DELICATE FLEXI-RECORDS WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD NOT MANY PLAYS WITH NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS- NO SPINDLE WEAR!      THIS IS A FANTASTIC AND SOUND INVESTMENT! AN ARCHIVE AND UPGRADER STANDARD EXAMPLE WITH A LOW AND REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE! TOTALLY FLAT VINYL!

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
