...NOT JUST A SUPER MUCH MUCH RARER GENUINE 1963 STEREO PRESSING WITH EXTREMELY EARLY SIDE TWO MOTHER/STAMPER OF 1T , IN SUPERB PLAYING CONDITION AND WITH THE MUCH RARER " GOLD " STEREO  E J DAY SLEEVE  BUT ALSO WITH AN UNUSUAL AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE,  UNDOCUMENTED EMI PRESSING VARIATION WITH A DISTINCT " DEPRESSION " AROUND THE CENTRE ON SIDE ONE ONLY..SEE EXAMPLE PICS

I FIRST SAW THIS PRESSING VARIAITION ON A MONO WITH THE BEATLES A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THEN PUT IT DOWN A LABEL ANOMOLY. HOWEVER HAVING SINCE SEEN A COUPLE MORE INCLUDING THIS ONE THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS AN ACTUAL PRESSING VARIATION. IT IS NOT HOWEVER A CONTRACT PRESSING IT ITS AN EMI PRESSING VARIATIONS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL EMI PRESSING VARIATIONS KNOWN THAT OCASSIONALLY CROP UP AS LATE AS REVELOVER BUT AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS SO FAR UNDOCUMENTED.  HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A DIFFERENT PLEASE PLEASE ME WITH THIS SAME LABEL INDENTATION WHICH ALSO SHOWS THAT THIS IS A PRESSING VARIATION AND NOT JUST SOME UNIQUE LABEL ANOMOLY...

IT ALSO GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT STEREO PRESSINGS OF ALL FORMS BEFORE 1968 ARE MUCH RARER THAN THE MONO, AND ONES FROM THIS DATE ( PRIOR TO JANUARY 1964 ) ARE THE RAREST OF THE RARE DUE TO THE LACK OF DEMAND FOR POP RECORDS IN A STEREO FORMAT. MONO WAS BY FAR AND AWAY THE MOST DOMINANT FORMAT AND EMI PRESSED ACCORDING TO DEMAND. STEREO RECORDS FOR THE MOST PART WERE NOT EVEN STOCKED BY THE LOCAL MUSIC/RECORD STORE ( WHERE MOST PEOPLE SORCED THEIR RECORDS  PRIOR TO THE DOMINATION OF THE BIG CHAINS FROM THE MID 1970'S ) AND COULD ONLY BE OBTAINED BY SPECIAL ORDER. THAT IS HOW IT WAS MOSTLY DONE IN THE 1960'S AND STEREO RECORDS WERE OUTNUMBERED BY THE MONO COUNTERPARTS BY , QUITE LITERALLY , MANY 10'S TO 1

 IT IS ALSO SAID THAT AFTER A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST THERE WOULD BE ONLY TWO SURVIVORS. THE COCKROACH AND PRE 1965 UK EMI PRESSED VINYLS!! THESE GREAT BIG HEAVY SLABS CUT WITH DEEP GROOVES ARE ALMOST INDESTRUCABLE AND EVEN POOR LOOKING DISCS CAN STILL PLAY AND SO DECENT LOOKING COPIES LIKE THIS USUALLY PLAY FANTASTIC WHICH THIS DOES SO NOT ONLY RARE BUT A VERY RESPECTABLE COPY IN EVERY RESPECTS, GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !!

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.

(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 )

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS.

THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
