	£		42
	$		56

I have collected records since I was very young, however Iincreasingly I have realised that I have far too many, and soI have been slowly trying to rationalise my extensive collection over the years, I have sold many major rarities over the years, from major BEATLES and 60s rarities, through PUNK and PROG ROCK, CLASSICAL and BLUES. Basically I've had alot of very rare records and in dribs and drabs have sold them off. I've never had negative feedback, and had many repeat customers.
I will only post completely insured and tracked.
All singles come with the sleeves they're pictured with, I don't use repros,so if it's with what looks like an original sleeve, it is an original sleeve!
Here we have a real rarity. Sometimes attributed to 1969 pressings, these central Polo Ring copies (copies with one large and one small ring around the central spindle hole) are actually much more in line with the 1971/2 copies that were released with boxed EMI logos at 6 o'clock on their labels. The further resemble the early 70s pressings as they have "tapered edges" whereby the rimof the disc closes to a point (in side profile) rather than the 60s EMI straight edge. If this is loosing you, then don't worry, this pressing possibly isn't for you ... yet! Perhaps you've not delved deep enough into the murky depths of Beatles Collecting to fully appreciate how rare this record is! But just try watching for another one, it'll be a while before you see one,as these are very rare indeed! Most initial copies like this had special labels with no central SIUK, these are rare and sought after by Beatles collectors, I have some listed currently. Most have the EMI boxed labels, but an excrusiatingly few copies mistakenly used up old labels from the earlier 60s which still proudly proclaimed "Sold In UK..." on their centres... This then is one of those very few! Not only does this copy have those labels, and notonly is it one of the rarest titles to find like this, but also it has the rare mismatched labels of Gramophone rim text on the A-side,with Upper-Case Parlophone rim text on the B-side! This is a true rarity!
Record Condition: EX just 2 extremely light surface whisps and 2 tiny dots visible in normal light, and a handful of featherlight withdrawal paperlines visible under harsh scrutiny of a strong direct light.

Labels Condition: EX 2 minor indiscretions almost certainly caused in the factory,firstly a very small 5mm edge of paper from the central 4-prong disc is not present (this happened sometimes on these pressings when the machine imprinted the paper a little loosely over the corner of this cut), and a tint little bubble under the label above the publishing credits on the "We Can Work It Out" side, very small and only caused in manufacture. Other than that I can make out maybe 2 very light spindle trails when angled under strong, direct light. Really beautiful!
