I just recieved another PYe pressing of Hey Jude from Ebay this morning. This one is "almost lovely". No crackles, but sticks in the middle. Oh well, better luck next time!

Did you try washing it ? Or is it an obvious scratch?

In my experience, Hey Jude, being such a long single and consequently having minuscule separation between adjacent groove wells, is extremely susceptible to jumping.

Sometimes this is unrecoverable, but more often than not, it's just gunk in the groove that throws the stylus up the wall and there's no 'run-off area'* to allow it to recover & drop back in. Instead, it leaps the gap and 'sticks'

(* yes I'm looking forward to the start of the Grand Prix season:))

Tried washing it. But sadly it looks like a blemish on the actual pressing, perhaps a stray blob of vinly stuck on. Yesterday a third copy was seized at a very cheap record dive I know. This time it plays through. I'm keeping both as the "blob" copy sounds otherwise perfect, the third copy has a little "noise".

Having seen one listed for £70 recently, I thought I wouldn't see another for ages. My local dive has two old guys who own the "rare record guide". I don't think it has too much info on "contracts" though, as they obviously have no idea. I've picked up CBML, IWTHYH, HJ (X2), and IFF, so I'm keeping my mouth shut. Hopefully some more will come my way.

you can sometimes pick up cheap contracts at fairs, but you can also nick em from ebay too sometimes...

I also dismiss those guys with high buy it nows, they rarely sell but when they do they have had a result getting for it many times what it is worth so it's a tactic thats probably worth a try for them

I think the only contract I am missing now are the early PYE solids for IWTHYH and CBML

And having recently found a Philips ( polydor ) solid for Hey Jude I think I may have found another, I'll know when it finally arrives and keep you all posted !!

My missing 'contracts are the cbs pushout Hey Jude and the oriole I feel fine with the rarer font (the one with the publishing date lower down the label) come to think of it Ive never seen a decca of this label. I do have the 3 oriole solids, IWTHYH , CBML and IFF these were really tough to find.
