Description

I am listing the entire 10-title set in individual listings of these ultra-rare Beatles albums re-released in their original Mono mixes from Japan in 1982 at a run of just 10,000 pressings per disc. They were on the EMI-Odeon label. All of them have been in a sturdy plastic sleeve since purchase and include the OBI on the jacket. Since I worked at Greenworld Distribution, the company that imported these to the US, I was able to put the original stickers on the plastic protective sleeve that were used for the record stores (list price and informative blurb).


The tenth and final of these is the album "White Album" (EAS-67157/58). This is the gatefold edition. This album was originally released in 1968. Included is a poster with the English lyrics on the back side, 4 individual photos (one for each member) and a gatefold lyric sheet in Japanese. The vinyl is in its original thin, clear plastic. The entire album is about as perfect as it can be for the 27 years I've had these.


Side 1: Back in the U.S.S.R. / Dear Prudence / Glass Onion / Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da / Wild Honey Pie / Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill / While My Guitar Gently Weeps / Happiness is a Warm Gun

Side 2: Martha My Dear / I'm So Tired / Blackbird / Piggies / Rocky Raccoon / Don't Pass Me By / Why Don't We Do It in the Road / I Will / Julia

Side 3: Birthday / Yer Blues / Mother Nature's Son / Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey / Sexy Sadie / Helter Skelter / Long Long Long

Side 4: Revolution 1 / Honey Pie / Savoy Truffle / Cry Baby Cry / Revolution 9 / Good Night


Keep an eye on my listings as I am posting lots of records here over the next several months!


About My Collection: I spent many years working in and around the record business in Los Angeles. The famed record chain, Amoeba Records, has been virtually frothing at the mouth to purchase my collection. Since I and a lot of the working world are between jobs right now, I thought it best to sell to the general public.

 

What the collection offers is lots of old records that were out of print and in decent shape to cut-outs and promo stamped versions, white label promos to immaculate records in store-bought condition to picture discs, colored vinyl, bootlegs and lots of imports from all over the world such as the high quality releases from Germany and Japan. Lots of titles with their original cover art and/or original labels, some in their original unopened shrink wrap! If I bought it new and it had any additional inserts... they will still be there.

 

Quality and Storage: Having played these records in my past, I don’t recall any of these records having issues such as being warped or having skips. I never loaned them out, never touched the actual vinyl and have always been a mint-condition freak. In the early days, to cut down on vinyl usage, I used to make and play an audio cassette version made from the vinyl.


As I cannot take an hour to list each item with every possible detail (but will do my best!), I will gladly answer any questions if there is anything specific information you need to know about the listing that I did not cover.

 

I have only lived in two places over the last 25 years and the records have been living in their own custom-made cabinets inside the house. They have never been in storage or abused in any way.

 

If you are looking for something specific and I have it, I will list it for you.


I will ship internationally ONLY if you are patient to receive the item because it is a time-consuming procedure that I cannot do from home like I can for domestic shipments. Shipping costs outside of the US are not cheap and I will have to invoice you separately for those charges.

 

I have invested in special boxes to ship the records as safe as possible. All domestic shipments are $4 to ship Media Mail. $1 per additional item in the same shipment up to 5 items, maybe more depending on size. No returns unless I have have made errors on how I listed the item in question, so please e-mail me with any questions you might have!
