Description
Up for bidding is the by far rarest Swedish 7” with The Beatles. Very few copies exist as it was withdrawn, never sold in stores and replaced by an alternative cover. In my 20 years of collection I’ve only seen a copy once (beaten up, without cover and popped out centerhole). From what I know of this unique release has only been sold at Ebay two times (2014 and 2017) for premium prices!
This one is sold without a reservation price and no best offer! :)
Please also let me know if you have any additional question!

Condition

First of all, both sides has surface dust and static will probably improve a lot by a proper recordmachine cleaning.
Visual quality of the sides shows no deeper scratches. Some scuffs and a few surface lines is visible under bright light. The most prominent can be found at the beginning of Side A (0.5 cm) with a line and a small grey cloud area. Labels are very nice, white side show slightest signs of use only visible tilted under bright light.
Side A has few small pops the first seconds. Then two minor around 1.17 and 1.29. Plays with surface noise.
Side B is quieter with low SN and no pops.

It’s recorded with a REGA P1 turntable. Cartridge is a 2M Ortofon Blue which is known for being a VERY revealing and unforgiving cart! Once again my judgment is that a lot of the surface noise is due to a need of cleaning and anti-static!
Cover has some light rw and a two small tears at the top. Two of the corners has a small bents. Seam has failed 4 cm at spine (can be glued) and there is also a 1 cm ss at bottom.
