Lovely original copy of the Fab's landmark Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane single in top condition, with the scarce first issue picture bag. Yes, these songs really should have appeared, as planned, on Sergeant Pepper's.  Some years ago I was lucky to buy a reviewer's collection, all of which came with poly innerbags.... even the 45s.  This is one of them.  The flimsy full-colour bag is EX+, the record is a clean EX+, plays perfectly with no issues, flat as a pancake.  If you have dedicated mono playback.. well, this is the bee's knees.

The purge of the collection continues......

Please check my other listings, my feedback, my 21 year eBay history and buy with confidence. 

Regular clients will know that I keep my descriptions brief and to the point.  If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at.  I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype.  Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.

GRADINGS:

MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played. 

NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny.  Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. Jacket is as close to perfect. 

EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny.  Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.

Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won’t be finding any for sale here.
