EARLY COVERS
There are two jacket variations from early 1964. The earlier version has no dash in the 6054 catalogue number on the top seam, with the number slightly smaller in size, and no Parr's logo on the front cover. Soon after, blueprints were corrected to add the dash in the catalog number, and to add the Parr's logo on the front slick. A few early copies featured an orange sticker on the loose wrap, and a free Beatles promotional photo.
SUMMARY: Earliest version, RARE variation. Vinyl has a number of surface scratches, nothing major; excellent labels; cover sleeve has been kept in original outer-sleeve, and is in fantastic condition, nice & clean with sharp corners. Lots of images - please view them all!"A++++ ebay vendor. Bid with the UTMOST of confidence!! Highly recommended!" "Much better then expected & TX for very carefully packaged records" "Absolutely pristine copy - packed to survive a bomb blast ... Love it!"
COMBINED SHIPPING is available. Three records can generally be shipped for the price of a single LP (a single LP plus packaging is just under one kilogram; two additional LPs can usually be packaged under the 2KG airmail rate. Please inquire for details.). There are many shipping options available (air / surface / tracking, etc.) and eBay will automate combined LPs as combined packages, so BUYERS of multiple records please request invoice prior to making payment for *BEST* adjusted combined shipping cost. Thank you.
ABOUT: The LP record up for bid here comes from the music archive of an entertainment director/booking agent/promoter/talent agent in southern Ontario during the 1960-70s. Many have been shelved for 40 years and never played. If you would like to know more about the collection, history, provenance, plus details of upcoming auction listings & record shows, please visit "Joe's Rock Pile" at google blogger: joesrecords blogspot com (eBay doesn't permit external web links, so if you have any difficulty finding that blogspot url please message me through eBay and I'll get you there.)
GRADING: I use the Goldmine grading system (recommended by Ebay, see appendix at end of item description) as my guideline (emphasis mine). I don't consider any open un-sealed record to be Mint. The very-best, highest grade I give on any open un-sealed record is NM.
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS: Payment accepted by Paypal. Please use the shipping/insurance guidelines immediately below, let me know and I'll send an invoice. Payment by other means - please ask.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: CANADA POST provides me several shipping options, but the automated eBay shipping calculator below restricts me to list only two shipping options, so I've selected airmail and surface rate. PLEASE NOTE: These are the default least-expensive options, but these rates do not include a tracking number. If you would like a TRACKING NUMBER, please let me know by requesting an invoice and I'll get you the adjusted charge. Thank you.
SHIPPING: Records are shipped in sturdy new 15x15x2-inch cardboard boxes. The vinyl & covers are separated to prevent seam-splits. If the record has a customized inner sleeve, it will be separated from that as well and placed in generic inner-sleeve for protection. Every record comes with a protective inner and outer sleeve. THESE RECORDS ARE VALUABLE ANTIQUES AND WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH. The assembled package is securely sandwiched between two thick 13-inch cardboard stiffeners, secured with masking tape to protect the record-cover edges & corners. This assembly is then safely encased with bubble-wrap inside the main box. It is my objective and insistence that records arrive in the exact same condition that they were packaged & shipped. These auctions are for discriminating collectors who care about their records, and the handling fee reflects this. Please see Feedback:
COMBINED SHIPPING: Combined shipping is available. If purchasing more than one item, please wait for invoice before making payment.
