THE BEATLES - BEATLES '65 - FACTORY SEALED

Excellent condition

Late 1960s/Early 1970s issue

******************************

Up for auction is a factory sealed  STEREO copy of the Beatles' 1964 Capitol Records release, Beatles '65.

This sealed LP is, for all practical purposes, in factory new/mint condition. It has a factory breathe hole in the shrinkwrap on the front of the LP toward the bottom. There are NO cutout holes or writing anywhere on this LP. There are no seam splits. The shrinkwrap along the mouth of the jacket is COMPLETELY sealed and sharp. Overall, the shrink is very tight and clean. It really is beautiful. (See the pictures below). There is a small tear in the shrinkwrap on the front of the LP, at the top of the left-hand box, about an inch above John's head (sitting on the chair). There is no discoloration as a result of that tear. There is a small triangular tear in the shrinkwrap on the back of the LP, toward the top in the white area (visible in the picture below). It does not detract from the LP's beauty. There is some very very slight shelf rubbing on the wrap, confined to and only visible in some of the white areas on the upper back, but as you can see, it does not stand out at all and is very insignificant. There are four little tiny marks on the LP back (please see the picture) in the upper right hand corner by the Full Dimensional Stereo logo. This may very well be a manufacturer's flaw as they form a kind of semi-circle. They do not detract in any way.

There is a price tag affixed to the shrinkwrap on the wrap from "The Wherehouse," It prices this LP at $3.95.

******************************

There is a very very slight corner "tap" or "push" to the right hand bottom corner. There are also some very very tiny areas (in the upper corners of the jacket) of extremely light orange tinged discoloration, resembling slight shelf rubbing. It is visible when closely looking at the back. They appear as light little blemishes, very small and relegated only to the extreme upper corners.

******************************

This LP is a later Los Angeles pressing, most likely from the late 1960s, featuring the number "18" next to the RIAA symbol on the jacket's back bottom. The cover is constructed in the original Capitol Records style with a cover slick over cardbaord and does NOT feature the RIAA Gold Records Award on the front.

This is a beautiful collector's piece. You will not be disappointed. I have a PERFECT E-Bay rating, so please bid with confidence!

There will be no reserve bid on this item, so please bid often.
