Description: NOT ONLY IS THIS A 2 BOX EMI LABELLED HIGH QUALITY PRE-OIL CRISIS HIGHER QUALITY VINYLED PRESSING IN A VERY RARE & SHORT LIVED " GHOST MONO " SLEEVE ERROR WHERE IN THE TOP RIGHT A LARGE MONO CAN BE CLEARLY - IF FAINTLY SEEN UNDER THE LAMINATION - BUT ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST " GHOST " MONO SLEEVE WITH FLIPBACKS THAT I HAVE EVER ! NOBODY KNOWS THE STORY ABOUT HOW THESE SLEEVES CAME ABOUT, THEY DATE FROM 1972/3 AND SEEM TO COME BETWEEN THE NO STEREO AND LARGE STEREO NON FLIPBACK SLEEVES. THE MOST LIKELY THEORY WAS THAT BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON 1973 EMI WISHED TO RESTORE THE OLD 1963 STYLE LARGE STEREO DESIGNATION TO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS CAUSED A BATCH TO HAVE A IMPEFECT FAINT LARGE MONO BY MISTAKE INSTEAD. EMI WOULD NOT WASTE ANYTHING & LET THE SLEEVES GO OUT THINKING NOBODY WOULD NOTICE, AND TO BE FAIR, FEW DO EVEN NOW ! HOWEVER WITH THE DISCOVERY OF THIS FLIPBACKED SLEEVE THIS THEORY MAY NOT BE CORRECT BY SHEER GOOD FORTUNE THE OIL CRISIS CO-INCIDED WITH EMI CHANGING THEIR RIM TEXT FROM THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD TO EMI RECORDS LTD SO YOU CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT THE LABELS FOR UK PRESSINGS WHICH COPIES WERE PRESSED ON HIGHER QUALITY VINYL, & WHEN YOU HOLD A COPY YOU CAN ALSO TELL BY IT'S MUCH HEAVIER WEIGHT COMPARED TO MOST COPIES FROM 1974 ONWARDS L@@K" For OFFER here is the UK LP '' PLEASE PLEASE ME " ARTIST: THE BEATLESMONO/STEREO: STEREOCat.

DUE TO THE NEAR DOUBLING FOR THE COST OF SENDING SMALL PACKETS I HAVE HAD TO REGRETFULLY RE-INTRODUCE A DOMESTIC UK POSTAL COST. IT STILL WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE POSTAGE BUT WILL LIMIT MY LOSSES. SORRY ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SEND YOUR THANKS FOR THIS TO ROYAL MAIL. IF I CAN FIND ALTERNATIVES I WILL FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT... I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ON THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DOMESTIC UK RECORDED DELIVERY INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTE BELOW. (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade ) INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM. THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY.. DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ ...FOR COMBINED POSTAGE EACH ADDITIONAL LP AFTER THE FIRST WILL USUALLY BE AND EXTRA G 2.00 PER EACH ADDITIONAL LP Happy bidding CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS!
