All of the picture sleeves that are for sale this week have first pressing 45’s.  The sleeves are at least in VG condition.  Please have a look at them all!

Beatles 5 Lot Picture Sleeves and 45’s 1964-1965

All sleeves are bold and colorful, no fading or yellowing in this set.  Most of the vinyl looks pretty close to unplayed.  Not NM, but they sure are good-looking pieces!

1.   A Hard Day’s Night/I Should Have Known Better

Vinyl--- Strong and beautiful VG+. One light scuff on A-side, otherwise looks nearly unplayed. Writing on both labels.

Picture Sleeve--- VG+.  NO split seams, very light wear to both sides. Straight-cut.

2.   And I Love Her/If I Fell

Vinyl--- VG++.  Could easily pass for NM!

Picture Sleeve--- VG+. NO seam splits, very light wear to both sides. A strong set. Straight-cut.

3.   I Feel Fine/She’s a Woman

Vinyl--- Strong VG. A few light marks on each side.  Name on Side 2 label.  Decca pressing.

Picture Sleeve--- VG+. Beautiful sleeve. Staple hole in top corner, very light wear.  NO split seams. Straight-cut.

4.   Slow Down/Matchbox

Vinyl--- VG.  Light scuffs to both sides, nothing more.

Picture Sleeve--- Also VG.  One side seam split ¼ inch, bottom seam split ½ inch.  Otherwise, light general wear.  Still a strong, presentable sleeve! Straight-cut.

5.   We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper

Vinyl--- VG+.  Looks unplayed with the exceptions of one or two light lines per side.

Picture Sleeve--- VG+. NO split seams, light general wear.  Straight-cut.

Note:  All 45’s ship outside of their picture sleeves in plain white generic sleeves, in order not to damage the picture sleeves during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!) 

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)
