Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

Beatles - Please Please Me - Gold & Black Labels - Mono - Earliest Gold & Black 1st Issue with Dick James Credits UK Pressing - Mega early Mothers/Stampers 1 H 1 GD - Rarest MT Tax Code around side 2 spindle - Correct Patents Applied For EMITEX Inner - Extremely Rare LP + Earliest Gold Sleeve

1st pressing which has Dick James Songs Credits On Labels, This is the rarest pressing, these 1st Pressings are becoming harder and harder to find.

Side 1: XEX 421 - 1N   1 H

Side 2: XEX 422 - 1N   1 GD   (MT Tax Code around spindle)

Both Sides have only a handful of whispy scuff marks and a few fine scratches (No feelable marks) and the odd extremely faint sleeve removal mark under strong artificial light, on the whole both sides are mostly clean and still shiny. Playtested Below

PLAYTESTED and the audio is strong and vibrant, no lessening in sound quality, No Jumps, sticks or skips and it lays flat on the turntable. Plays with some light static in the quiet parts and the odd click. It has been stored for 50+ years so will benefit from a proper clean.

Labels both have signs of play(spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc, a tiny bit of wear around spindles...see photos

Original Front laminated Flipback Earliest and rarest Ernest J Day Sleeve has wear. The front of sleeve shows some light rubbing, still has some shine, there are a few creases from edges and a crease in middle of opening edge and one bottom left corner. Corners are worn. Patchy wear to top edge, bottom edge is split in the middle. Some wear to opening edge. The Back of sleeve is clean with some discolouration and grubby patches, flipbacks have wear and creases running through and bottom flipback has been repaired on the inside, name written 3 times in pen. Spine is solid and still fully readable....see photos...This is a Nice Example of this Rare Sleeve.

The original Patents Pending EMITEX Inner has a couple of creases, No splits but a few marks and some discolouration.

A Holy Grail LP.

I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?
