Welcome to my vinyl auctions.

Over a period of several years I am slowly listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast collection. The proceeds go to his family.

Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click .

I grade records conservatively to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LPs will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email.

Artist: The Beatles

Title: Long Tall Sally

Country of Issue: UK

Year of Issue: 1964

Catalogue Number: GEP 8913

Matrix side one: 7TCE 822-1N

Matrix side two: 7TCE 823-1N

Condition of sleeve: VG with some ringer and laminate creasing but no seam splits. There's a small sticker-removal mark over the word "mono" on the front.

Condition of record: VG+ with light marks on both sides but plays astonishingly well. There's some surface noise but you only hear it between songs. The sound is deep and clear with no distortion at all. Side two is a little noisier than side one.

Further Notes: This is the original first pressing EP from June 1964 in the sleeve that was manufactured by a yet to be determined printer (identified as “SCP” in the lower right corner). It has laminated rounded flaps.

I only accept paypal. If you wish to pay by any other means, please contact me prior to bidding.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE:
Shipping this 45 within North America will be $7, internationally it will be $12. If you're combining this purchase with one of my LP auctions you will pay shipping on the LP and the 45 will ship for free.

I NO LONGER SHIP TO RUSSIA.
