Item Description

Auction only: No offers please PLEASE NOTE: Due to time wasters who bid, with no intention of paying for the item, anyone with a score 0-10 , will be blocked and cancelled Apologies if you are a genuine bidder The Beatles LADY MADONNA - 1968 - UK - DEMONSTRATION COPY R 5675 Matrix: 7XCE 18438-3 and 7XCE 18439-2 1st Matrices Stampers: 1-AT and 2-GT The ultimate collectors copy, in fabulous condition, complete with Auction House catalogue, receipt and mailing envelope It is unlikely that you will ever find another example, of this single, with such outstanding vinyl surfaces and unmarked labels With the high value now associated with Beatles demo discs, there is always the possibility of being offered a fake copy on-line, particularly as this release was the first issue not to use the earliest JR or 1G stampers normally found on pre-release singles Please bear in mind, that unlike a commercial copy, usually played to death, this copy has seen minimal play, on professional equipment and is in remarkable condition Bought at auction in 1990, this comes with the auction house receipt and photograph from the catalogue, as well as the mailing envelope, sent to the buyer More details below The Vinyl Visually: Looks like a new copy, hardly touched - beautiful example, with gleaming deep gloss mirror like surfaces - side one appears near pristine - side two has just one light, non sounding, surface/handling line - usual hairlines under bright light Audio: Needless to say, this copy, having been played on top equipment, produces a near mint performance - stone cold silent run ins/outs - sound quality is undiminished throughout both sides - you won t be disappointed Bid with confidence - I give an honest appraisal - please read buyers feedback The Labels Super clean - unmarked - no writing or damage - vibrant text - just a few light spindle trails - release date, 15/03/68 - KT tax code embossed, side 2 - demo labels display the additional 45 to indicate playing speed The Sleeve Original, company issue - near perfect The Phillips Auction House catalogue features over 800 lots and is just fascinating to browse through.
The cover photo shows a leather jacket worn by Michael Jackson for the song Bad and is valued at 20,000 - 30,000 for the auction 25 years ago, wow - Loads of Beatles memorabilia including this demonstration single which was part of a large collection being sold by BBC Radio 1 DJ, Chris Denning Details on Wikipedia, although you may regret reading about him .
As you can see, the catalogue photo matches the position of the label on the disc, leaving no doubt that this is the genuine item.
I may have other rare Beatles vinyl listed, so please take a look Discs are cleaned with professional cleaning and anti-static fluid Your purchase will be sent in a professional mailer with stiffeners All the above photos are of the actual item s for sale in this listing All discs are played at volume through speakers, with any faults listed, if applicable Payment via Paypal only PLEASE NOTE: Postage is via Royal Mail tracked and signed where available and includes secure packaging Unfortunately ebay also take 10 which seems very unfair I will not post to countries I have excluded, so please don t ask me to
