THE BEATLES

OFFICIAL SECOND UK ALBUM

WITH THE BEATLES

RARE, HARD TO FIND, SCARCE

DECCA CONTRACT PRESSING

which means; Parlophone - EMI could not keep up with demand for this the Beatles second UK album and as such went cap in hand and asked DECCA record company to press some extra copies of this album to help them out. 

IRONICALLY DECCA THE COMPANY WHO INFAMOUSLY TURNED DOWN THE FAB FOUR FOR A RECORDING CONTRACT! ! !

(Bet it was JOHN'S idea to ask them !?)

oh and in case you are wondering how to tell the difference (as I have seen a couple advertised that were NOT) The DECCA label has the large circle on the record label which is completely different, in that respect, from the much more common Parlophone labels.

ORIGINAL ITEM FROM 1963

Matrix on vinyl;

Side one; XEX 447-7N

Side two; XEX 447-7N

RARER DECCA LABEL 

Holds;

"RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1963"

DOES NOT HOLD -"Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions, see price lists"

and DOES HAVE

"The PARLOPHONE etc"

Around the label.

ALL ABOVE CONFIRMING THIS AS AN ORIGINAL (MONO) DECCA CONTRACT PRESSING ITEM FROM (1963) OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

VINYL PLAYED BACK BRILLIANTLY THROUGHOUT.

VERY LITTLE SURFACE MARKING ..............however there was 1 TINY pop on the tracks "All My Loving" and "Devil In Her heart"

..............AND WAS TESTED PLAYED ON MY 4 SPEAKER HI FI............ which picks up nearly anything that shouldn't be there in playing, so it is quite possible a less sensitive music system would not even pick the above up! 

(NO SKIPS, JUMPS, OR STICKING)

YES THIS ALBUM , LIKE ALL MY BEATLES VINYL , HAS BEEN PLAYED BEFORE LISTING AND LISTED AS I HEAR THE ACTUAL ITEM NO BOOK OR MAGAZINE LISTING THAT CAN APPLY TO MILLIONS OF RECORDS. THIS IS LISTED TRACK FOR TRACK AS IT PLAYED BACK ON MY HI FI.

GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE 

OUTER SLEEVE 

 PRETTY MUCH MINT CONDITION .... FOR A USED CARD ITEM OF OVER 52 YEARS OF AGE!

TINY "1963" TOP LEFT BACK

DOE'S NOT HAVE THE MISPRINT FOR TRACK 3 SIDE TWO !

NEARLY ALL (ORIGINAL- 1963 ISSUES),  THE SLEEVE HAS "YOU REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON ME"

WHICH SHOULD OF COURSE BE "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME "

WHICH THIS SLEEVE DOES HAVE !

ORIGINAL EMITEX

 inner sleeve

AS MINT AS YOU COULD HOPE FOR!

PLEASE NOTE NEW OVERSEAS POSTAGE, PACKING AND HANDLING CHARGES.

Due to a few customers SAYING items have not arrived , been “lost” in postal services etc. and Ebays/Pay Pals insistence that they will only credit or believe the items have been sent, when the seller can provide a tracking number, I find myself with no other option than to start sending ALL My Beatles items out with the UK by Royal Mail’s premier International mailing service, I.e

. “Royal Mail International Signed For".

 This service costs a MINIMUM of £5.30 ON TOP of the Royal Mail’s Airmail service , packaging and handling costs.

REGARDLESS OF THIS IF YOU SUBTRACT THE EXTRA AS ABOVE, YOU WILL STILL FIND I HAVE ONE OF THEE CHEAPEST POSTAGE HANDLING AND SECURE PACKAGING COST FROM UK TO ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. NOT ONLY THAT ALL ITEMS ARE POSTED SAME DAY (OR NEXT DAY - IF ITS NIGHT TIME) THAT PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. THEREFORE THERE IS NO SAFER OR QUICKER METHOD OF POSTAGE FROM ANY OTHER EBAYER.

This service will provide me, the seller, with assurance that the item did arrive and the tracking number will be used to prove such. It however also provides you , the buyer, with Tracking (within the UK), insurance incase item does actually go missing , priority handling at all stages of it’s journey and signed for on delivery at your door.

N.B. Just one item going “missing” that I have to refund, cost me my profits for a considerable length of time.

 THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND UNDERSTANDING.

A FOOT NOTE FOR LESS EXPERIENCED or NEW BEATLES COLLECTORS;

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SELLING SOMETHING ON EBAY QUOTES THE WORD "RARE" 99 TIMES OUT OF A 100 THE ITEM IS NOT RARE, THE SELLER MERELY HOPES IT TO BE RARE AND BY USING THE WORD "RARE" HOPE TO SELL IT TO AN INEXPERIENCED COLLECTOR BY HOODWINKING THEM INTO BELIEVEING IT TO BE "RARE". TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I HAVE LISTED OVER 2000 BEATLES ITEMS ON EBAY SINCE I BEGAN TRADING HERE AND USED THE WORD "RARE" ONCE IN ALL THAT TIME. PLEASE DONT BE BELIEVING A BEATLES ITEM TO BE "RARE" JUST BECAUSE A LISTING USES THIS WORD. THE ITEMS THAT TRULY ARE HARD TO FIND DO NOT NEED TO HOODWINK PEOPLE BECAUSE GENUINE BEATLES TRADERS KNOW WHAT IS WHAT. IT IS REALLY BEGINING TO ANNOY ME THOUGH HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE USING THE WORD "RARE" WHEN INDEED THE ITEM IS NO WHERE NEAR "RARE" "EXTREMELY RARE" "IMMPOSSIBLE TO FIND" ETC ETC.

THANK YOU AND KEEP THE BEATLES ALIVE!
