The Beatles 1969 Christmas Message Flexi VG+

$

47

A very nice, play-tested Christmas flexi for the fan club. 

Cover---A very sturdy cover.  All of the seams show some small degree of wear, but nothing that detracts from the graphics.  There is a small brown stain to the top seam, which extends to the back.  See photos.  Front graphics are still sharp and beautiful.  Any Beatles collector’s heart will briefly flutter at the sight.  The back cover has light dirtwear, and another tiny brown stain.  See photos.

Flexi---Lots of gloss.  But each side does have a moderate amount of very light scratches.  It play-tested just fine, with no skips and little scratchiness.  Flexies from this period of time did play with surface noise inherent to the format.

Every U.S. copy I’ve seen have covers that were printed in England, and with flexies pressed in the U.S.  This one is no different.

It might even be fun not to wrap this gift for your Beatles collector, and just sneak it onto the turntable while presents are being opened!

If you plan to bid, please read this first…

For the second time in two weeks, I’ve had a very high bid cancelled on my auctions. A third buyer who won her auction told me she was going to withhold payment for two days while she decided whether she wanted the LP.  All of these LP’s were in the triple digits.

Please understand that on July 5th this year, I lost my job after 14 years. I’m selling off some prized possessions as a means of making ends meet, keeping my health insurance, looking for work and seeing if I can participate in Christmas this year. Having said that, from now on, if anyone places a bid and then cancels it for any amount, for any reason, they will automatically be blocked from future auctions immediately.

Why? If someone places a high bid and then retracts it, I lose watchers. And I don’t get those watchers back for the final day of bidding.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? eBay asks you to confirm your bid amount before you place your bid. So I don’t buy that you’ve entered the wrong amount. I have some very nice items from all artists, as well as rare and near mint Beatles LP’s coming up for sale in December, including a week’s worth of sealed early and first pressings. I don’t want to part with these, but I have to. Please hold up your end of the transaction. 

And by all and every means, a warm and heartfelt thank you to the generous buyers who have helped me so far to meet my goals.

Thank you!

(Please note that due to time constraints, I have had to stop play-testing my vinyl.  However, I am happy to by request.  As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)
