The Beatles Rare NM WEST COAST I’ll Cry Instead Picture Sleeve + WEST COAST 45!

Yes, you’re bidding on the second hardest-to-find Beatles Capitol Swirl picture sleeve—I’ll Cry Instead—and it’s an even RARER WEST COAST version. You also get a WEST COAST pressing of the 45!

That’s a combo I’ve never seen here on eBay!

Please see photos. The Sleeve is outstanding, with only a small price stamp and a couple of even smaller staple holes keeping it from absolute perfection. And of course, there’s the West Coast tab cut top.

The FIRST PRESS West Coast single is dynamite, with just a hint of ringwear. How do we know it’s a West Coast? The A-Side title is on two lines; the B-Side on three. And the machine-stamped * in the run-off area is indicative of West Coast labels (see photo).

So thanks for looking, good luck, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

PLEASE NOTE: All net proceeds from this sale will be placed in a Special Needs Trust Fund for my son, who suffers from a Traumatic Brain Injury as a result of being hit by a motor vehicle. Your bid is appreciated. However, it is not a charity and there are no tax benefits. 

Beatles records are fragile and more than a half-century old. Each has been play-tested once on a newer Sony turntable used only for that purpose. They are being described here in complete, honest and accurate detail, and are sold “as is.” I cannot be responsible for different results due to the buyer’s own equipment. Your satisfaction, along with my 100% Feedback, are very important.

This item will be packed securely, with records in paper sleeves. Once payment is transferred from eBay to my bank account, it will be shipped to USA only! Payment must be submitted within 3 days of closing, or buyer forfeits all rights to purchase.
