Beatles Large 20-Lot 45’s Most Are VG+ to Excellent! All But One Are First Pressings

I can’t test-play vinyl at the minute, so with that said…

This is a very nice lot of Beatles 45’s, which will make an excellent starter collection.  Many of these can be considered keepers for a beginner collector.  They can also be resold individually.

None are graded as NM, but those that are graded Excellent are within orbit of NM, and those graded VG+ are within orbit of Excellent.

Great lot!

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!)

 

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!)
