Description

I have collected records since I was very young, however Iincreasingly I have realised that I have far too many, and soI have been slowly trying to rationalise my extensive collection over the years, I have sold many major rarities over the years, from major BEATLES and 60s rarities, through PUNK and PROG ROCK, CLASSICAL and BLUES. Basically I've had alot of very rare records and in dribs and drabs have sold them off. I've never had negative feedback, and had many repeat customers.
I will only post completely insured and tracked.
RARE THE BEATLES Help! 1972 POLO RING No Sold In UK SIUK Text!
Here we have a lovely rarity. Sometimes attributed to 1969 pressings, these central Polo Ring copies (copies with one large and one small ring around the central spindle hole) are actually much more in line with the 1972 copies that were released with boxed EMI logos at 6 o'clock on their labels. They further resemble the early 70s pressings as they have "tapered edges" whereby the rim of the disc closes to a point (in side profile) rather than the 60s EMI straight edge. If this is loosing you, then don't worry, this pressing possibly isn't for you ... yet! Perhaps you've not delved deep enough into the murky depths of Beatles Collecting for this record, but your time will come,your time will come!
These initial 1970s copies have special labels with no central SIUK, these are rare and sought after by Beatles collectors.

Record Condition: EX really beautiful surfaces, even when angled under strong,direct light just a couple of the lightest surface hairlines becomevisible,and these are so faint and light, that they are of course completely inaudible! Wonderfully clear audio! Very Nice!
Labels Condition: VG Really nice clean labels with just light handling and spindle trails etc. Sadly a very faint and neat "Cathy Smith" is written in dark ink on the blackprinted area to the top left hand of the A-side label,hard to see,but there. Not perfect, but very nice!
