The Beatles Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand Capitol AS 444| Excellent to Near Mint

In 2014, I purchased a collection of Beatles recordings from the estate of one of the Beatles original fans – who wasn’t a girl. He built his collection from 1971 until his passing in 1993. These recordings remained on a shelf until 2014 and they have boxed in a climate controlled environment ever since. According to his wife, while he couldn’t always afford to purchase unopened recordings he sought as near to perfect discs as he could find. Of course, eBay and the like didn’t exist at that time, so his collection was personally reviewed and picked before purchase.

His wife also said that he was always on the lookout for specialty releases, promotional copies, live recordings and works that represented the history of the Beatles and the individual members.  Looks like he did a pretty good job.

It will take some time to post all this collection so please visit my eBay store for updates.

Thanks,
