Description Please note: I have no interest in making items seem better than they are. "It is what it is". I try to describe as accurately as possible all issues with everything I sell. Check my feedback, please.My dear INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, please wait for an invoice before paying so we can furnish you with correct shipping fees. Shipping within the lower 48 states is $3.50. Up for auction is an original 45 RPM single for:THE BEATLES - "HEY JUDE" b/w "Revolution" Apple 2276.This is not just the very first pressing of this record, it is the very first pressing of any Apple Record. Identified by the lack of producer credits, no matrix number and no "Recorded in England" copy. This first press also had a strange ghosting around the perimeter of the labels (see pic) that appears on every copy from the Los Angeles plant. I have an East Coast first issue listed and you can see the difference.Also included is the rare, tab-cut "BEATLES ON APPLE" company sleeve that only accompanied the very first issues of this title. The first four Apple records were were also issued with tab-cut sleeves, but they read simply - APPLE. These "Beatles on Apple" sleeves were pressed in much smaller numbers.This is an historic and complete, first press set of the Beatles' biggest hit ever, ma'peeps, and it is in VG++ condition! PLEASE ask any questions in time for me to answer them. Check out the pics (I always show both sides) and check out my feedback.Thanks for looking!!!The fine print...Please know that we ship on Mondays and Tuesdays, so if payment is received later, your item most likely will no ship until the following week. Buyer is responsible for all shipping. Please email for accurate shipping info particularly if you are outside the U.S. I will accommodate all shipping requests as best I can. We add two bucks to shipping. We don't make money on shipping, folks. Just helps with some of the costs. We prefer PayPal, but US checks are accepted. Items will ship after checks clear, so it slows thing down. International customers must remit payment via Paypal. No personal checks from outside the U.S., please. Payment is due within 5 days of auction's end. Please contact us with any questions. We think this should be fun, folks. Communication is key to a smooth transaction.
