PLEASE READ FIRST!

Please be aware that I VISUALLY GRADE my records as I do not have access to a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).

THE BEATLES - Hey Jude
Mega Rare UK Apple EXPORT Press
with both PAPER BACK and REVOLUTIONS Errors!!

On offer here is an extremely rare and hard to find UK Apple export copy of the Beatles LP 'Hey Jude'.

Hey Jude was original issued in America only but it appears that EMI UK pressed a small number on the UK Apple label specifically for export.

However, a tiny number of this already small run of copies featured two label errors - a space in the word PAPERBACK so that it incorrectly read as PAPER BACK and, more obviously, REVOLUTION was mis-spelled as REVOLUTIONS

An incredibly hard to find album that is highly collectible!!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The sleeve is holding up beautifully with just a few little tiny creases here and there and no splits. There is a tiny tear on the back near the bottom of the mouthedge, but other than that there's no other damage whatsoever. The laminate has a little disc impression and rubbing but overall is very clean with a nice, sharp shine to it.Inner Sleeve Condition-Inserts Condition-Disc Condition
(VISUALLY GRADED)The disc is in NM condition. Holy moly! The disc is looking incredible, like it's only had a handful of plays throughout it's life. A beautiful clean, sharp shine to it and nothing more than one or two barely, barely visible little scuffs here and there which I'm putting down to when it's been taken out of its paper inner sleeve.Label ConditionThe labels are in M- condition. Both labels are are looking stellar with nothing more than a single, barely visible little wispy spindlemark on each label.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINTNo true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed.NEAR MINT (NM)For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there.EXCELLENT (EX)For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there.VERY GOOD (VG)For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches.GOOD (G)For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle.FAIR (F)For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etcPOOR (P)For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
