that's cool! i wouldn't have thought to do it like that.
weirdness: last summer i sent a record to england and it was the one and only time i ever made the mistake of sending something out before i got paid for it. either i forgot or it was one of those deals where it said *payment pending* from paypal instead of *payment sent*. i don't remember. but i felt like an idiot. and i e-mailed this person more than once saying HELLO i sent your record even though you didn't pay me. can you PAY me??? after a while, i gave up. last week my box and record got returned to me. undeliverable. from last summer! guy must have died or something. glad i didn't harrass his ghost too much. would have been like a bad version of a raymond carver story.

It didn't even happen: sellers would just put the postage charge in the main body, and add it onto the invoice on auction closure anyway.

Sorry for the make payment delay. Please read carefully. Please ship LP out to me with Super Safe Packaging (Over Sized Box is good)+ a few Fragile Marks on it. Because USPS has broken 7 items and corners crush 18 items sent by 100% sellers as too tight packaged last 11 month by USPS Priority or Media mail. They've broken more 3 packages at last and this month again. But it package had not Fragile marks and too tight packaged. I am afraid of it again. Thanks.

Side 1's run-in grooves are silent and ultra smooth without any crackles or clicks and any low level static is not audible beforethe massive impact of power and audio sharpness of the UK mono mix, is heard on the intro for the opening track "Drive My Car".Paul's superb bass guitar lines are very prominent, the percussion was a major part of this track, sounding amazingly crisp and inthe 'real to life' authenticity analogue sound really delivers. It amuses to think this staggering in-built volume could be in anywaythought to be less than another pressing. I am afraid financial gain by claiming UK Beatles labels, covers and the one I find themost apalling of all, the sound itself, will long continue to be used to entice collectors. I know my records will perform exactlyas it 'says on the tin,' because I am not influenced or swayed by stamped digits, when I find I have bought a record with inferioror substandard sound reproduction, unless a major rarity, which few Beatles LP's are, I am fully prepared to accept it can neverbe re-sold, regardless of the visual appearance. The superb vocals ring out in perfectly defined audio, with the piano played byPaul pushed way up in the mix. This is indeed George Martin's mono mix being heard and enjoyed in all it's glory, this incredible opening track has a very strong r&b rhythm, the "beep beep" backing vocals are stunningly clear, a wonderful pressing like thisis not about volume alone, it places listeners in No.2 Studio, Abbey Road in 1965. In close up detail you can hear every singleindividual part of this song, or you can just let a colossal impact submerge you in the audio magic of The Beatles, I enjoy a bit ofboth! The ending fades into a totally silent gap, no crackles or static,I always include any natural static but there's nothing andI am straining my ears to check because this is one of those deeply tracks starting. Miraculously it means John's single acousticguitar intro to his beautiful "Norwegian Wood", is heard in superbly clean and clear sound. There simply is no actual static or surface/needle sound, George Harrison's sitar is in pristine audio and John Lennon's incredible vocal has a real cutting edge toit, add the powerful mono mix into the equation and this wondeful melody is just staggering to hear! If anyone reading this hasever tried to play a record for sound grading, they will understand the strange paradox of hearing such amazing sounding music,yet trying to ignore magnificent audio, instead straining your ears for the slightest hint....a record is producing such fantasticsound quality. I'm used to but it does seem quite bizzare on "Norwegian Wood" while this is plays with sheer audio perfection!When a record lacks the common noise or irritations and has such astounding sound as this stunning record, I get to thoroughlyenjoy my most loved Beatles songs. A major reason for being so objective and obsessed with finding perfection on original vinyl,the final note of the sitar fades away naturally into near enough silent grooves, before Paul's outstanding "You Won't See Me"begins with an ultra clean intro. I describe exactly what I am hearing and this happens to be an amazing record, another superbtrack in maximum sound quality, the backing harmonised "la-la-la-la" after the lines in the verses are as crystal clear as Paul'sbrilliant lead vocals are. As well as standard guitars, the instruments include a piano and a Hammond organ, on worn out vinyl,they become the victims of deteriorating sound. Not here! They are heard with their original full strength signals, still with thenatural edge undulled from heavy plays. The fade-out is perfectly clear of any needle sound so another smooth as silk gap givesa wonderfully clean intro to the sublime "Nowhere Man", as I said, this is some record! A stunning and deeply beautiful acapellaor vocals only intro, and from the first seconds to the last, this has just awesome sound, mega sharp definition on the vocals forthis song is the ultimate way to hear it, without one second of any static or surface sound. A very emphatic powerful mono mixtends to magnify one of, if not the John Lennon's greatest ever melodic vocal performances. John had introduced his personalexperiences into songs, giving him additional inspiration for his writing beautiful melodies and challenging lyrics. I am tryingto write an informative but concise description with sound quality the priority, or I indulge my fanatical love of discussing therecording sessions and out-takes etc. So far so good, I cannot avoid the superlatives for such a famtastic record, the backing harmonies are just breathtaking! Complete silence in the gap also waits for the intro to the first of the two great songs GeorgeHarrison contributed, "Think For Yourself ". Once again heard with the same stunning audio sharpness, with George's 'fuzzed'lead guitar in the clearest and cleanest audio, if you listen closely there's a very clever piece of percussion, just a little detailnow and again is impossible to avoid. After the verses, a shuffling drum part is closely followed by four beats on a tambourine.This record really is That Sharp! The mono sound on an unworn 1965 pressing is sensational! Absolutely silent grooves run into a perfectly clean intro to "The Word", one of the last songs written as time was running out, these are very mature lyrics,not that far from the 1967 message of, "All You Need Is Love", the sheer clarity on the George Martin played harmonium is a the ideal indication of how capable this1965 record is of such immaculate sound reproduction. Their vocals are astonishinglyprojected in the mono mix, reinforcing how these music signals are the equivilent of a just pressed record. Please bear in mindhow every second of this first side has been as perfect as you could wish to hear as we approach the last track. It requires sucha stunning record to validate previously made comments about static /surface on the same track of every pressing ever made."Think For Yourself" fades into a near silent/silent gap, a single acoustic guitar intro to Paul's very atmospheric "Michelle" isexceptionally clear but instantly I hear the same low level static there in 1965. There is in fact very little surface sound or asstatic found on "Michelle", but I insist on including the most minor surface sound, while stressing how it is minor and backgroundas I have found on every original/first pressing, it varies in degree and this is really minimal. Eveything musically is in the samestunning audio sharpness, I am trying to keep a distance from the term, 'first pressing' and it such a shame we have a contortedview of an otherwise uncomplicated Beatles pressing. Static or not, a great sounding "Michelle", now to try and keep Side 2 downto the same reasonably minimal amount of text after my extended headings!
