THE BEATLES - STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER / PENNY LANE - SINGLE - "PROMOTION RECORD" - "NOT FOR SALE" - 7 " - 45 RPM - YELLOW/LIGHT GREEN LABEL WITH "PROMOTION RECORD" AND "NOT FOR SALE".  PENNY LANE IS AN EARLY MIX THAT PLAYS AT 3:00 BECAUSE OF AN UNTRIMMED HORN ENDING THAT IS NOT FOUND ON COMMERCIAL COPIES.  CAPITOL (P 5810)  RELEASED:  FEBRUARY 1967.  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL COPY THAT HAS A MACHINE STAMPED "STAR" IN THE MATRIX RUN OUT THAT SHOWS IT WAS MADE IN THE LOS ANGELES FACTORY.  IT ALSO IS THE PROOF THAT THE COPY IS AN ORIGINAL "CAPITOL" PRESSING AND IS NOT COUNTERFEIT.
DUE TO YOUR MANY REQUESTS PLEASE CHECK OUT THE 2 NEW PHOTOS OF THE FACTORY STAMPED "STAR".  I DID MY VERY BEST TO GET THE RIGHT LIGHT FOR THE CAMERA TO PICK UP THE IMAGE OF THE "STAR" WHICH WAS REALLY HARD BUT PROVES THE RECORD IS AUTHENTIC.  BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM A "TOP RATED PLUS" SELLER.    

I GRADE VERY STRICTLY FOLLOWING ROUGHLY THE GOLDMINE GUIDELINES AS AN OUTLINE.  I WANT YOU TO GET THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE SO YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.  WE PROFESSIONALLY CLEAN AND PLAY GRADE ALL OF THE RECORDS WE SELL.  WHICH IS MORE THAN 99% OF THE OTHER SELLERS ON EBAY.

RECORD GRADING: EX                                                                                                                                                                                      CRACKLE AT THE START OF "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER" AND A MINOR BIT MORE NEAR THE MIDDLE.  VERY MILD CRACKLE AT THE START OF "PENNY LANE".  BRIEF, LIGHT, BACKGROUND CRACKLE NEAR THE LATTER HALF OF "PENNY LANE".  THE RECORD STILL SOUNDS AND GRADES "VERY GOOD" ON IT'S OWN DESPITE THE MINOR FLAWS.  HIGHS AND MID-RANGE ARE CRISP, CLEAN AND FULL WITH NO BREAK UP AT HIGH VOLUME.  THE BASS IS FULL AND VIBRANT WITH NO MUDDINESS.  IT'S A VERY GOOD LISTEN EVEN WITH IT'S MINIMAL ISSUES.  ON "PENNY LANE" I LOVE THE ALTERNATE HORN ENDING THAT IS NOT ON ANY OF THE COMMERCIAL RELEASES.  PERSONALLY, I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE RELEASED THE TAKE ON THIS RECORD COMMERCIALLY.  IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEM IN SUCH FANTASTIC CONDITION.  ALL THE ONES THAT WENT TO RADIO STATIONS IN THE 1960's HAVE THE STATION'S CALL LETTERS ON THEM OR OTHER MARKINGS AND ARE GENERALLY IN ROUGH SHAPE.  THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE.  THIS RECORD IS VINTAGE AND IT REALLY LOOKS INCREDIBLE FOR IT'S AGE.  IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR FRAMING.  GREAT FOR ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR OR AS ONE GREAT GIFT TO THE SPECIAL BEATLE'S FAN IN YOUR LIFE.  THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE OF THESE THAT I'VE SEEN.  A TOP COPY FOR CERTAIN THAT GRADES "NEAR MINT" FOR THE LABELS AND "EXCELLENT" OVERALL FOR THE FEW FLAWS IN SOUND QUALITY.  COMES WITH A BASIC "CAPITOL" SLEEVE FROM THE ERA IN GOOD SHAPE.
