TEA TWO MILKY
Hi, I have been asked to sell a small but quality collection of UK beat singles, autographs, Beatles fan club flexi-discs, memorabilia and amateur photos of artists / bands all dating from around 1963-1967. I am a classical music specialist, but a good friend in the house clearance business has asked me to sell these for him; due to the interesting nature and condition of the collection, I couldn't refuse! Everything I have listed is from this collection, it's all from 1 owner and generally the records and memorabilia have been very well looked after indeed. There are some very interesting items including: 4 BEATLES FAN CLUB FLEXI DISCS (NM) BOWIE AND THE LOWER THIRD 1st 7" (NM) VERY EARLY DAVID BOWIE AUTOGRAPH(S) (& PHIL LANCASTER from THE LOWER THIRD) AMATEUR PHOTOS OF BOWIE AND THE LOWER THIRD PLAYING LIVE AUTOGRAPHS INCLUDING VAN MORRISON (& THEM), JEFF BECK, ROD ARGENT (& ZOMBIES), THE ANIMALS, MANFRED MANN, STEVE GIBBONS (& THE UGLY'S), THE GAYLORDS (later THE MARMALADE) and many more identified and unidentified bands and artists! AMATEUR PHOTOS OF STEVE WINWOOD, JEFF BECK GROUP (RON WOOD, ROD STEWART), THE WHO....... PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER ITEMS. ALL RECORDS STRICTLY GRADED UNDER STRONG LIGHT.

ARTIST:  The Beatles  8 x singles and 2 EPs, I think all in correct and original company sleeves, nice copies!
TITLE:  Twist and Shout EP GEP 8882, matrix 7TCE 672-2N / 7TCE 763-1N. - name sticker on label Long Tall Sally EP GEP 8913, matrix 7TCE 822-1N / 7TCE 823-1N All You Need Is Love R 5620 solid centre, matrix 7XCE 18425-1 / 7XCE 18426-1 I Feel Fine R 5200, matrix 7XCE 18171-1N / 7XCE 18172-1N We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper, R 5389, matrix 7XCE 18341-4 / 7XCE 18342-1 Help!, R 5305, matrix 7XCE 18280-2 / 7XCE 18281-2 Ticket To Ride, R 5265, matrix 7XCE 18254-3 / 7XCE 18255-2 Paperback Writer, R5452, matrix 7XCE 18380-2 / 7XCE 18381-2 Please Please Me, 45-R 4983, matrix 7XCE 17217-1N / 7XCE 17218-1N From Me To You, R 5015, matrix 7XCE 17329-1N / 7XCE 17330-1N - small sticky tape residue on label   CONDITION:
RECORD:  nice copies, sides range from NM to EX- (mostly EX+) with the exception of I feel fine (grade visual VG) - there are no scratches or any light marks on this record at all, but the vinyl on the A side has gone dull in colour and looks a bit patchy, the record plays fine though, no problems at all
LABELS:  all labels clean except the two mentioned above 
SLEEVE:  Sleeves are generally in great shape. I think these are all the original company sleeves. The sleeves the records are in are as I found them, I presume they are correct. Some have the name of the track written on them - where his is the case you will be able to see it in the photos. I would grade the sleeves between Near Mint and VG++. Please take a look at the photos.
COMMENTS: Nice little collection in great condition

Always happy to combine postage for multiple buys.

FOR HEAVY ORDERS (eg 10 KG or 20 KG) I CAN POST WORLDWIDE BY COURIER. 

PARCELS OVER 5KG (around 25 records) ARE USUALLY MORE ECONOMICAL BY COURIER - FOR PACKAGES LESS THAN 5KG ROYAL MAIL IN SEPARATE PARCELS IS USUALLY THE CHEAPEST AND FASTEST. 

There are many different couriers available, some courier companies are cheaper to certain countries than others - I WILL DO MY BEST TO FIND THE CHEAPEST COURIER FOR THE SIZE OF YOUR ORDER AND THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.

50 records when packaged usually weighs around 18-20KG. The courier price varies from country to country and sometimes varies due to location in a country, but it seems much cheaper when sending lots of lps or many box sets. 

TO POST BY COURIER I WILL NEED YOUR PHONE NUMBER AS THE COURIER WILL NOT POST WITHOUT IT.

COURIER PRICES ARE CHARGED AT COST, AS WITH OTHER POSTAGE COSTS I DO NOT MAKE PROFIT ON POSTAGE: 

COURIER PRICE + PACKAGING COST + EBAY TAKE 10% OF POSTAGE COST + PAYPAL 5% = FINAL PRICE

COURIER PRICES GIVEN ON LISTINGS PAGES FOR LARGE BOX SETS OR SMALL COLLECTIONS ARE A QUOTE ONLY - PLEASE MESSAGE ME YOUR POST CODE / ZIP CODE AND COUNTRY FOR AN EXACT COURIER COST.

Example Current Courier Prices                                                                                                           

20KG parcel insured for £250 to Beijing China via TNT courier £103.50 / via Parcel Force courier £113

PLEASE NOTE:  1.  Any customs / import charges incurred on international parcels are to be paid by the buyer! Customs charges vary from country to country.

   2. Ebay take 10% of all postage and packaging charges, Paypal take their percentage too (2-5% depending on which currency the invoice is paid in). I do not make any profit on postage at all, the money I actually receive after Ebay and Paypal have taken their percentage is the exact amount or even a little less than it actually costs to buy the postage stamps and to buy cruciform record mailers and cardboard stiffeners.  For example:1 record posted to China (weight 500g). Cost for postage stamp: £7.80,   Cost for Mailers etc £1, so total I need to actually receive after fees is £8.80. Ebay take 10%, Paypal 5% from China, so total they take is 15%. I charge £10.30 to post this record, less 15% is actually £8.75, a little less than it actually costs. As I have said, I do not make any profit at all on postage, if other sellers can post cheaper then they are doing so at a loss, I can't do this, sorry!

***PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT CLEAN RECORDS. I DO NOT HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING MACHINE AND DO NOT WANT TO CLEAN THESE RECORDS WITH A CLOTH FOR FEAR OF MARKING THE SURFACE OF THE RECORD. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ALL RECORDS SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED PRIOR TO PLAYING TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY AUDIO PLAY BACK, THANKS****.

***ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN VISUALLY GRADED. IF THERE ARE ANY LIGHT MARKS THESE HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED TO CHECK FOR SOUND QUALITY***

Records will be posted out in proper cruciform record mailers with a cardboard stiffener. I will get a proof of postage from the post office for all records. If you need special postal requirements or wish to use a different postal method (eg. Parcelforce) please get in touch, these will be charged at cost. Ebay now takes 10% of all post and packaging costs, i have to factor this in when calculating post and packaging costs, i don't make any profit on these P&P costs. All auctions will run to the end with no reserve price. If you need to know anything about the record or auction just get in touch and I'll do my best to answer your questions, thanks for looking
