BEATLES - "WQAM-560-MIAMI" 5-Original RARE Interviews; 45rpm (7") Vinyl Disc with Orange Label & Black Print from 1964, in STUNNING CONDITION!   A LITTLE HISTORY OF THIS ITEM IS IN ORDER .... These Interviews were Taped in early 1964.  This piece was originally  obtained through a local radio associate here in Western, New York at a local station back in early 1964 and these are the ORIGINAL 5 INTERVIEWS.  Based upon the timing of when this piece was physically obtained, it is obvious that it could only have been available through contacts at WQAM radio in Miami, FL.  In reality, in 1964 at a time when these interviews were being conducted, the BEATLES were just becoming famous, and who could have ever suspected that such an obscure recording would someday be worth thousands of dollars.  Back in those days, PROMOS were distributed but not necessarily tracked in any precise quantities!  This particular item is now over 44 years old, was stored properly, and has retained it's original luster.  We are not aware of any special sleeves associated with this item nor are there any scripts or dialogue sheets available.  The buyer is purchasing this item in its original format - record only.  Extremely Rare!     SORRY, NO RETURNS ON ANY VINYL RECORDS.  Why? This is our policy with ALL vinyl records simply because there are too many "dishonest" people out there in search of specific recorded material, who find it on vinyl since that's where it was first recorded and prefer to transfer these recordings to other formats such as tapes or CDs.  Unfortunately, this has happened all too often to be ignored.  To compound matters, these people consistently attempt to return what they bought using  whatever excuse they assumed would be a means of obtaining a refund, such as "it wasn't graded properly", or "the label had some discoloration", or "the vinyl had more scratches than they thought it had", and of course our favorite excuse "THE ITEM WAS NOT AS ADVERTISED".  We photograph all vinyl before it leaves us as a little insurance.  In many cases, items have been returned NOT in the same condition as originally shipped, even in some cases with self-inflicted damage obviously to attempt to validate their reason for returning it.  This obviously diminishes the item's value, preventing us from selling it at the previously intended price.  Therefore before you make an offer or BUY IT NOW, it is assumed that you do understand this policy.  We realize that with very expensive items like this one, you may have reservations or questions and we completely understand.  So prior to making an offer, placing a bid or BUYING any item, please feel free to either call us at (585) 265-9347 or Email us at BATTERIES@ROCHESTER.RR.COM.  Unfortunately there are always those few bad apples who spoil it for the serious collector.  There are always exceptions to any policy, however it would have to be something obvious.   The bottom line is that if you do not agree with this policy, we completely understand, however these are the rules.  This is a one-of-a-kind item and a VERY RARE find!  A Great addition to any serious record   collection.   Other BEATLE records available are:  MONO BLANK BACKS, STEREO AD BACKS, MONO AD BACKS, VERSION 1s (STEREO & MONO), VERSION 2s (STEREO & MONO), SONGS & PICTURES (STEREO & MONO), VJ 522 (BRACKETS & OVALS - "FROM ME TO YOU") STOCK & WHITE LABEL PROMOS, VJ 581s (SEVERAL VERSIONS - WHITE, YELLOW, PURPLE, BLACK, RAINBOW) STOCK & WHITE LABEL PROMOS, VJ 587 (DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET) STOCK & PROMOS, BEATLES vs. 4 SEASONS (STEREO & MONO), plus approximately 8,000 other BEATLE RECORDS, CDs, TAPES, including recordings on ATCO, METRO, CLARION, MGM, APPLE, CAPITOL (STEREO & MONO 1st & 2nd STATE BUTCHERS), UNITED ARTIST, PARLOPHONE, ODEON, HORZU, DARK HORSE and much more!  Thanks for looking and Good Luck!   TERMS & CONDITIONS PayPal:   IMPORTANT NOTE!  We realize that there are those of you out there who use PayPal exclusively.  If you do not see PayPal checked as a payment option, it does not necessarily mean that we will not use PayPal.  It simply means that we reserve the right to accept or reject this payment method for our own reasons.  Acceptance of PayPal can be dependent upon buyer qualification, item sold, location (accepted for qualified  FOREIGN  traders), and the amount of the PayPal  seller’s fees involved.  We do not wish to discourage anyone from making a purchase, therefore please See ALTERNATE FORMS OF PAYMENT  listed below for further details.   PREFERRED PAYMENT METHOD:   MONEY ORDER or CASHIER’S CHECK, also by PERSONAL CHECK or COMPANY CHECK  (either would need to clear our bank before item ships).        ALTERNATE ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PAYMENT:   If approved or noted by the seller, we may use PayPal.  Although a popular payment method, it does experience significant online problems frequently causing major disruption in the payment procedure.  Based upon our experience, it is not a secure site, subject to potential “hackers”.  It is also our contention that paying by MONEY ORDER, CASHIER’S CHECK or PERSONAL / COMPANY CHECK allows us to CONSIDER LOWER OFFERS.  Therefore when making any offer, please advise us that your offer or bid price is based upon a specific METHOD OF PAYMENT.  This can influence our decision to accept, reject or counter an offer.        PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS:  All payments are required within 48 hours of the sale if you are using any online method such as PayPal  (approved only under certain conditions and only if OK’d by the SELLER).  All other forms of payment are required within 5 days (DOMESTIC); 10 days (International).   SHIPPING:   Shipping using actual costs are calculated by item, location, handling, packaging and whether or not special insurance or tracking is requested.  We use FedEx, DHL or USPO.  Where FREE SHIPPING is noted, the choice of shipping method is to be determined solely by the seller.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK IF THE ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON OR MAKING A “BEST OFFER”, QUALIFIES FOR “FREE SHIPPING” (CONTINENTAL USA ONLY unless otherwise specified).       RETURNS:   This is a very touchy subject.  All items are sold “AS IS”.  Once an item is in the hands of a BUYER, it is the property of the BUYER since that BUYER would then alone control its condition.  Therefore, since we cannot control what a buyer does with an item after he or she receives it, we do not promote or accept returns unless previously agreed upon as a condition of the sale.  We reserve the right to return no items, as it is our experience that this only promotes disagreement and potential deception.  It is the responsibility of the BUYER to READ THE AUCTION CAREFULLY, ASK QUESTIONS, REQUEST ADDITIONAL PHOTOS, SEEK OUT OR RESEARCH THE ITEM on his or her own PRIOR TO BIDDING.  It is the sole responsibility of the BUYER to possess the appropriate knowledge relating to any item, which he or she is bidding on.  Any lack of knowledge on the part of the BUYER which causes disagreement after he or she receives it, is not grounds for any item to be returned.  It is not the responsibility of the SELLER to instruct, teach or inform the buyer beyond the description in any auction, although if asked the SELLER will certainly answer all questions or concerns by any potential BUYER and assumes the responsibility only to sell items honestly without intent of deception.  It has been our experience, especially with the purchase of VINYL RECORDS that these items can be and have been purchased for the sole purpose of recording their material onto alternate formats such as burning a CD.  This is quite common and is THE primary reason for rejecting all returns since once it is in the hands of the BUYER, we the SELLER have no control.  If there is a problem with any item received (possibly the wrong item as an example) it is the responsibility of the BUYER to contact the SELLER within 7 DAYS after receipt of item.  At that time, the SELLER will review all claims in an attempt to be fair to all parties.  It is the SELLER’s decision alone to grant the return of any item and without any obligation to do so.  Email:   batteries@rochester.rr.com.   DAMAGES:   If items are received in a damaged condition due to shipping, it is the responsibility of the BUYER to report this immediately to the shipping carrier upon receipt for purposes of placing an insurance claim with that carrier.                                                                                   0126080   NOTE:  PRICE GUIDES ARE OPINIONS AND ARE TO BE USED SOLELY ONLY AS GUIDELINES.
