TITLE/INFO: OK, I'll be listing more old and rare 45's these next few weeks, as well as more early '50's-'60's EP's and LP's, so if you have interest in great conditioned "oldies" please continue to check in on my site - and thank you in advance. This is the beginning of a major move for me - selling off my large Beatles 45RPM/picture sleeve collection. To ease the pain a little, I am deliberately beginning at the end of their career and moving backwards to their earlier days with Capitol, Swan, Vee-Jay, and MGM - so please check in these next few weeks if Beatles 45s and picture sleeves are of interest to you - thank you. This classic 45 and picture sleeve combo is entitled "The Ballad Of John And Yoko/Old Brown Shoe", and is in very good overall condition - and I've even included a specially made, "The Beatles On Apple" company sleeve as a throw-in (see all the pictures above). LABEL INFO: This original, Apple Label (2531) is very clean and nice with absolutely nothing in any need of a mention. I don't even see any spindle lines around the center circle, which indicates to me that it had very light play. VINYL INFO: The vinyl - in stereo - is also very shiny, clean, and nice, and again, there is really nothing negative to mention. In my opinion, it looks almost as good as the day it was first purchased. PICTURE SLEEVE: Finally, this rare and hard to find picture sleeve, showing the entire group with Yoko, is in very good overall shape, but does have a couple of flaws in need of a mention. In addition to a small amount of expected "wrinkle/crease lines" in just a couple of spots, there is a staple hole and slight tear in the top corner of the A-side and a small discolored tear at the top of the B-side (all of this is visible in the pictures above). In my opinion, these flaws are small and fairly minor in the whole scheme of things here, but view the pictures above and make your own decisions! INTERESTING FACTS: Yes, in my opinion, this Beatles' record, the ultra rare and hard to find picture sleeve, and specially made "Beatles On Apple" company sleeve are all pretty nice - especially the mint minus vinyl - so please have at it. As always, I have begun the auction at a very low opening bid and have no reserve price - just free and open bidding - so good luck! FYI, if anyone wants to bid on multiple items to save postage costs, I am more than happy to "save" your winning pieces here at the house until you are ready for shipping - just tell me ahead of time and please pay as you win them. In addition to this record, I will continue to list many other RnR/R&B LP's, EP's, and 45's by 1950-60's artists----and even some C&W LPs/45's, too. I am selling off my entire personal collection, and there are 1000's of more records to list yet -- of all varieties and genres. Many of these still to be listed records are rare and hard to find, and most all of them are in near mint shape. So, please bookmark my site and check it out from time to time. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!  If anyone ever needs more info than what is listed, please email me. I will respond! POSTAGE/HANDLING CHARGES: In the United States, the buyer agrees to pay $4.00 (1st Class Mail and Delivery Confirmation) for the first 45 purchased, and then just $.50 per 45 after that-----so, buy in quantity and save. These are U.S. rates only, and all foreign winners will have to await an email me for their exact costs, although I will send a detailed invoice as soon as the auction is over---but, there too, it is cheaper to send multiple pieces. The charges for overseas are $18.00 for the 1st 45 and then just $2.00 per 45 after that. PLEASE NOTE: I will not be responsible for records  that are lost or damaged by either US or overseas Postal Services. However, for additional fees, I will gladly ship the packages Priority Mail and/or add insurance! Please email me with either, or both, requests if this is of interest to you. Also, please continue to check out "rogersrecords" on ebay for future collectible records of all types. There are many more to come!
