Beatles 45 and Picture Sleeve 1968 Lady Madonna w/Fan Club Flyer, EX Vinyl!

 

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

 

These picture sleeves always make great Christmas gifts for your Beatles collector if you find out which ones they’re missing.  There are eight for sale this week.

Included are all first pressing 45’s in at least Excellent condition!  Original price stamps or tags from the 60’s are still present on most, which I have always found very charming.

(Sorry about the grainy photos.  It’s been cloudy all week.)

 

Picture Sleeve:  VG+.  Borders on EX.  Light record outdent and finger divots, but moderate label ringwear.  Top of sleeve has only a few very small tears.  NO SPLITS.

Fan Club Flyer---   EX.  Barely any yellowing (if at all) or finger divots!  Very light record outdent in isolated areas.  Flyer lies nice and flat, sharp corners. 

Price Sticker--- None on this one, sorry!

A Company Capitol sleeve will be provided to protect your Picture Sleeve sleeve during shipping.

Vinyl: EX/EX.  Vinyl shines high gloss on both sides, with just a few extremely light hairlines, and not many.

Labels: EX/EX.  Running times appear on both sides.

Plates: F3/G2.  Machine-stamped triangle with the letters, “IAM” inside it makes this copy pressed by Scranton.

 

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!)

 

Note:  All 45’s ship outside of their sleeves in order not to damage the sleeve during shipment. Generic plain, white sleeves and Mylar provided.

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!)
