Additional Notes
*SEALED* Reissue Pressing of the classic “The Beatles’ Second Album.” with Gold Record Award stamp. Because it is sealed, I cannot be entirely sure exactly which year this pressing is from. However, there are a few factors which lead me to believe this is most likely a 1971 Apple label pressing:
*According to several Beatles collectors, the RIAA number “12” is almost always associated with this particular pressing.
*This record was acquired from a previous owner who received it from an estate sale of a Memphis radio DJ in 1976. Because this record was most likely acquired by the DJ before 1976, this would place this pressing as being a 1975 Apple label second pressing at the latest. However, these second pressings were mostly issued with the RIAA #18. There is also a small possibility that it could be a 1969 Green Target Capitol label pressing. However, these were issued with both #9 and #12 covers.
Because #12 covers are almost always associated with 1971 pressings (almost 99 percent of the time according to several Beatles collectors) I feel safe in assuming that this is an Apple label first pressing.
COVER
Ringwear
There is a very light amount of ringwear present on the front and back cover. It is a typical amount for a record that has been sealed for nearly forty years.
Edgewear
There is a very light amount of bending in the lower right corner which is evidently caused from the shrink wrap. Were it not for this very light bend, the cover would also grade a solid Mint condition.
Storage Wear
There is a small promo hole punched through the upper right hand corner of the cover. There is also a very light amount of discoloration on the seams of the shrink wrap and a very small rip in the shrink wrap on the back cover over Ringo’s picture (see pictures.)
Seam Splits
No

BELOW I HAVE POSTED THE GRADING SYSTEM I USE FOR ALL MY RECORDS:
SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.
NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.
VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks very minor that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.
VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.
VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.
G: I try not to go here, but if it's a rare or exceptionally great piece of music that must be heard, then I'll offer it. But the noise will be very noticeable, and you'll want to find a better copy. Still, the record will be fully playable, and you should enjoy it because it's such wonderful music. Jackets in this condition will have large seam splits, large writing, paper tears, or water damage. But it will still be fully capable of protecting the album inside.
F: I'll never go here on both the vinyl and jacket. This would have to be a case where the vinyl was playable with a bad jacket OR a real special jacket with the record not of much use. You won't see this very often!
