Description

THE BEATLES - TICKET TO RIDE / YES IT IS

VERY RARE 78 ISSUED IN INDIA IN 1965 ON PARLOPHONE 5265. GREAT EX/EX+ CONDITION

BOTH LABELS ON THIS 78 RPM ARE UNMARKED, BUT THE INDIAN PARLOPHONE SLEEVE HAS SPLITS AT THE BOTTOM AND RIGHTSIDE.

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL 78s I AM LISTING, SOME ISSUED IN INDIA IN THE 1960s, LONG AFTER 78s WERE DISCONTINUED IN THE US AND EUROPE, OVERTAKEN BY 45s.

INCLUDED ARE 78s by THE BEATLES, BOBBY DARIN, THE SHADOWS and CLIFF RICHARD.

THESE INDIAN 78 RPM RECORDS ARE VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. MOST LABELS CARRY THE WORDS 'MADE IN INDIA' OR SIMILAR, AND THE DATE OF ISSUE.

AND THEY'RE THE REAL GENUINE ORIGINAL - MADE OF THAT OLD SHELLAC, NOT VINYL !

PLEASE ALSO LOOK AT THE OTHER 78s LISTED - MOST OF THEM FROM THE U.S.

ROCKABILLY and ROCK'N'ROLL on the LEGENDARY SUN LABEL -- 78s by ELVIS PRESLEY, WARREN SMITH, JERRY LEE LEWIS, 2 by CARL PERKINS and there's CHUCK BERRY on CHESS.

as well as LITTLE RICHARD on THREE LABELS - PEACOCK, SPECIALTY and LONDON

PACKING: I pack really well. I 'sandwich' the record/s between two thick pieces of cardboard, surround it with packing - scrunched up newspaper and/or bubble-wrap/polystyrene chips - and put it in a stout cardboard box. I have been sending records all over the world to regular collectors and dealers. Over many years of posting, I have never had a breakage.

POSTAGE: I am happy to combine records to cut down the cost of postage.

UK STANDARD POSTAGE IS FREE. FIRST CLASS POSTAGE IS £1.40

CONTINENTAL EUROPE £ 4.40 U.S. £ 8.40

CONDITION / GRADING : M = Mint, New. Ex = Excellent - played but few marks and they still sound great. VG = Very good, played many times, with scuff/wear and a little surface noise, but not excessive. + and - marks give clearer gradings. Please note that I grade by sound. A 78 can look quite beat up but still play Ex- Labels are clean unless stated otherwise or as in photos.

WINNERS : Please send no payment until you hear from me with the total cost. Cheques/postal orders preferred from UK buyers but Pay-pal OK for Europe and rest of world.
