THE BEATLES - TICKET TO RIDE / YES IT IS
Original 1965 UK "DEMONSTRATION RECORD NOT FOR SALE" Beatles rarity in overall very nice condition, with impressive sound quality
Year/Label : 1965 UK PARLOPHONE Label number : R 5265Matrix numbers : 7XCE 18254 - 3, 7XCE 18255 - 2 with the "KT" tax code on each sideStampers : 2 L / 1 TOverall very good plus condition vinyl with each side retaining an impressive jet black sheen still. Side 2 is in excellent condition with just the odd very light paper scuff, whereas side 1 is in a solid very good condition (having had more plays than side 2) with a number of paper scuffs and small wispy hairlines - nothing feelable, and most of which only visible with close inspection under a bright light and seemingly superficial, but certainly more of these minor surface blemishes than side 1. Each label is excellent - a few small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each side and the occasional very light and minor handling/storage mark but nothing of significance (see photos). The 4-pronged push-out centre remains perfectly intact. The sound quality on each side is excellent with no clicks and any background crackle/interference is at an absolute minimum, being occasional and very, very background - still a great listen. Comes with very good plus condition Parlophone outer sleeve (not the original for this demo copy) with no seam splits but there is some mild creasing and some minor age discolouration towards a couple of the edges. Note that I always house the vinyl in a plain white sleeve for shipping purposes in order to protect the original. Hard to believe that this Beatles rarity is now 59 years old - obviously super rare and worthy of gracing any vinyl collection.
POSTAGE COSTS :
For the UK £8 using Royal Mail special delivery;
for continental Europe £10 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked,
and for the rest of the world £12 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
