DESCRIPTION: Flawless vinyl plays perfectly in a solid Mint- cover. These 2 box Parlophone label pressings came out in the 80’s and were among the final analog LPs before the switch to digital mastering. Many carried 1st pressing matrices and those that were re-cut were done so by ace original Beatles cutting engineer Harry Moss ('HTM') whose initials appear on sides he cut. Although The Beatles' catalogue was released again later on vinyl, it was from a digital source and these pure analogue pressings are unlikely to be available again.

No international shipping.
I ship once a week, but always within 5 days of your payment. Combined shipping is possible for up to three LPs with a small surcharge for added weight.
Records are shipped in the highest quality Whiplash LP mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits.
Please don’t bid if If you own a Crosley or similar inexpensive turntable. LPs that play perfectly on a real turntable may have problems playing correctly on a cheap turntable with no ability to adjust tone arm tracking weight or anti-skid. It will eventually destroy your LPs.
The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority.
I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG++
Records are first inspected under a halogen light and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.
As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
