Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by George Harrison called "Wonderwall Music" and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press DARK Apple label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS GEORGE HARRISON'S FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT (LATER ONES DONT!) AND A 'NARROW SPINE' COVER (LATER ONES HAVE THICKER SPINES INSTEAD)!!!!
BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE MONO!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED BACK IN VERY LATE 1968, NEARLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON STEREO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE MONO AT ALL!!!! MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK MONOS BY THIS POINT - AND IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!! AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP IN MEGA RARE MONO IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS DARK APPLE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT, BLACK INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE/CREDITS' INSERT, AND 1ST PRESS 'NARROW SPINE' FULLY LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL UK Apple 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The 1st Press matrix numbers are APCOR 1A-1 & APCOR 1B-1!!!! The Cat. No is APCOR 1 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press DARK Green Apple label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality George Harrison at his best!!!! Any fan of George Harrison, The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! It plays with NO skips, barely ANY clicks, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the VERY quietest parts ONLY (virtually UNAVOIDABLE on this LP - and most copies have this!)!!!! The record is also very VERY slightly uneven - though this is very VERY minor indeed, there is NOTHING sudden or sharp AT ALL, and ANY system in the world will effortlessly track it!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in what looks to be its ORIGINAL Black inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition - with NO edge splits, NO centre hole splits, and NO repairs either!!!! However - although this black inner has EVERY SINGLE correct characteristic for a 1st Press inner sleeve (one centre hole, flipback construction, etc!), it looks a bit too 'fresh' for my liking, and so could well be a re-pro inner!!!! THE ULTRA RARE 'PICTURE/CREDITS' INSERT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION - WITH NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press FULLY Laminated 'Narrow Spine' MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO splits, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), shiny laminate and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
