Notes: This great album collects together many classic Beatles singles that were never released on Beatles albums, and was released for EXPORT in 1970, but was not released domestically within the UK until 1979.  This is that first UK issue, mastered by Harry Moss from the original master tapes at Abbey Road Studio.  Harry T. Moss mastered all of the original Beatles albums, though to the best of my knowledge he did not begin inscribing his initials in the run-out grooves until an album was reissued.  Technically this is a "reissue" of the 1970 Export Only LP, but Harry's initials are on this one.

UK vinyl, "Factory Sample" copy, all analogue, mastered from the original Beatles master tapes by Harry T. Moss.  35 years old now, unplayed, top condition collector example.

There are many amazing sealed audiophile records in my other listings, but there is not too much to describe with sealed albums.  Now that I am getting to the original first pressings and promo copies, this gets a little more fun and interesting.  There will be some great and rare original first pressings (U.S., UK, Japan) coming up, so please check back regularly.

Packaging (open LPs): The album will be removed from the cover to eliminate the possibility of seam-splits.  The LP and cover are placed in a clear outer protective sleeve, and sealed.  The (now sealed) album is then sandwiched between two large cardboard stiffener pads, carefully centered and taped together.  This keeps the LP stationary and the album cover centered, allowing the oversized cardboard reinforcement pads to protect the edges and corners of the cover from dings. 

Tracking: You should automatically receive your Tracking Number by email when the Shipping Label is printed.

eBay History of Record LP sales: 14 years on eBay.  Please do check my Seller feedback comments with regard to accurate LP grading, safe packaging and quick shipping.

Feedback: If there is any problem with your package, please contact me so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue before leaving feedback.  My goal is to have happy customers and repeat business.  

Payment:  per eBay’s new policy, please make payment via PayPal within 2 days.

Shipping and Handling Time: Packages normally ship the day after payment (excluding weekends and holidays) with email notification and Tracking number.

No Return Policy:  This collectible LP is long out of print, not replaceable and fragile by nature.  I have packaged many hundreds of valuable record LPs over the years, but most people have not, and it's not an easy thing to do properly.  When I have accepted returns in the past, both times (yes, I've had two albums returned in the last 14 years) they arrived with damage to the cover.  I realize it's not intentional, but it happens.  One trip through the postal system is enough, so this album is offered with eBay's 'No Return' policy in effect for this listing.  As always, if there is a problem with the album itself (e.g., item is somehow not as described), just let me know, I am a reasonable person and eBay's money back guarantee is still in effect.  Of course if the album is damaged during transit please let me know immediately and SAVE the packaging because it is needed for the Insurance claim.  We will get the Insurance claim filed right away and process your refund as quickly as possible.  Please check my feedback, you will see that I only offer top quality record albums and my customers are happy!
