Mono Test Pressing of With the Beatles - owned by Brian Epstein and Gareth Pawlowski, with COA

Description:

This is a super rare one-sided - side 2 of With the Beatles, test pressing that was once owned by Brian Epstein. It was later passed to Gareth Pawlowski, the author of one of my favourite books on The Beatles - 'How They Became the Beatles'. Clive Epstein passed this to Gareth along with other test pressings and acetates that were owned by Brian. When Gareth died they were passed to Rockaway Records who sold them off.

One side has the matrix LPFB4 and is a test tone. This side is in poor condition with odd marks and deep scored grooves.

Side 1 plays side 2 of With The Beatles and this side is in excellent condition (contrary to the description provided by Rockaway Records, which is odd). It has the stampers 1 G and matrix reference XEX-448-1N, with a KT tax code.

Rockaway Records sold this with a COA, which you can see in the photos.

I added this item to the collector's website 'your-collection'. It's a Dotcom site where you can zoom in to the images below and see them at a much higher resolution. The site hosts my collection and gives me searchable unique lists of my choosing so I can see exactly what I own and what I need. I know what's in my collection and the value of all my items and my lists at any time - with a growth factor of my choosing. I get free s, with links to my hosted images at 'your-collection', making my eBay listings more professional and easier to list. There's eBay snipe as well. Go take a look and see how much it has to offer the collector.

Condition Description:

Test tone side is in poor condition.

Side 1 playing With the Beatles side 2 is in excellent condition - see photos.

Shipping policy

I'll ship to anywhere in which the item can be tracked door-to-door and fully insured. I won't ship to Italy because there are so many horror stories of items going missing in transit and there being no tracking. Lots of people have ended up losing out by having to refund for items.

I try to get items packed and shipped within three days of payment coming through and normally easily achieve that but I do work away quite a lot and of course it's not always possible if I'm not home until the weekend.

Return policy

I give a no-quibble money-back guarantee on all my items. If you don't like it then just send it back for a refund. Send it back in the original condition, well-packed, insured and tracked within the time prescribed in the listing.

Payment policy

Payment is by Paypal or bank transfer.
