Description

*** BID WITH CONFIDENCE: As a long-time Beatles collector, I’ve had my share of bad experiences buying vinyl on eBay - so I know the disappointment and frustration. I grade conservatively, strive to provide accurate descriptions and detailed photos, package each item VERY carefully and ship quickly - see details below. ***

*** I use visual grading only (unless otherwise requested), and NM is the highest grade I use, except for sealed vinyl.

**********************************

As you probably know, this is by far the rarest of all the MFSL Beatles titles issued individually (most released after the box set) - supposedly the metal stamper was damaged, ending the production run. Back in the day I owned both the MFSL box set and the individual titles, and was curious if they were the same pressings - and the info in the trail-off areas were identical. This one is obviously from the box set, given the cover design.

The vinyl is beautiful - I’m not the original owner, but I see no evidence of play. If it was played, it couldn’t have been more than a couple of times on a really good turntable.

The cover is really nice - still white/no yellowing, no wear, no bends/creases and no ringwear. The corners are sharp, although there is a tiny amount of wear (roughly the size of a pinhead) on the very tip of the bottom right corner. The protective MFSL insert is in equally great shape.

Beautiful NM/NM piece as either a stand-alone, or a replacement for a damaged copy from the box set!

FYI - Please note that I don’t accept offers to end auctions early.

* FAST SHIPPING: Free domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail. Sorry, but I only ship within the lower 48 states. My goal is to ship each item out the day after I receive payment, and I haven’t missed one yet.

* PACKAGING: I package every item VERY carefully, just the way I’d want to receive it:

(1) Using standard LP and 45 mailers with insert pads;

(2) Removing unsealed vinyl from its cover/sleeve to prevent seam seam splitting during transit; and

(3) Labeling the front & back of the package with a bright orange sticker (“FRAGILE - VINYL RECORD - Do Not Bend or Crush”). Please check out my feedback comments - several buyers have specifically mentioned how well their records were packaged.

Please contact me if you have any questions about this item.. Thanks for looking, and stay safe - Rick in TX
