Up for bids is a very rare Stereo Rock double LP set by The Beatles called "The Beatles' Story". Capitol Records. STBO-2222. 1964.

EXTREMELY RARE MIS-PRESS!

WHY IS THIS EXTREMELY RARE? READ ON BELOW!

THE NORMAL VERSION OF THIS ALBUM HAS THE SIDES IN THIS ORDER: Record One - Side 1, Side 4 and Record Two - Side 2, Side 3. 

HOWEVER, THERE IS ALSO A RARE MONO VERSION (no Stereo confirmed) FROM 1964 WHERE IT IS LIKE THIS: Record One - Side 1, Side 2 and Record Two - Side 3, Side 4.

GREEN CAPITOL TARGET LABELS ARE ALWAYS IN THIS ORDER: Record One - Side 1, Side 4 and Record Two - Side 2, Side 3.

HOWEVER …… THIS GREEN CAPITOL TARGET LABEL VERSION IS LIKE THIS: Record One - Side 1, Side 2 and Record Two - Side 2, Side 3! (see photos)

THERE IS NO SIDE 4 ON THIS PRESSING. I TESTED BOTH RECORDS AND ALL SIDES PLAY WHAT IS LISTED. I DID NOT SWITCH ANY RECORDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THIS WAS WHAT WAS IN THE COVER WHEN I BOUGHT IT. 

IT'S RARE ENOUGH BEING A GREEN CAPITOL TARGET LABEL "BEATLES' STORY" HAVING ONE RECORD PRESSED WITH SIDE 1 & 2!!!

MAY BE ONE OF A KIND!!!

Double cover.

Record One's Matrix (or Trail-Off) Numbers read as a an etched "STBO-1-2222-A-3 ' " followed by a stamped "4" and finally a stamped asterisk " * " for Side 1; and an etched "STBO-2-2222-A-3 ' " followed by a stamped "4" and finally a stamped asterisk " * " for Side 2.

Record Two's Matrix (or Trail-Off) Numbers read as a an etched "2-2222-H-5 ? " followed by a stamped "1" and finally a stamped asterisk " * " for Side 2; and an etched "STBO-3-2222-A-3 ' " followed by a stamped "4" and finally a stamped asterisk " * " for Side 3.

Please note that I proudly use the latest Perry Cox Beatles price guide for grading and reference.

NOTE:

The grades I use are Mint (rarely used grade), Near Mint, VG+++ (rarely used grade), VG++, VG+, VG, VG Minus, Good+, Good, Fair and Poor.

Cover is in VG++ condition. There is some minor wear on front and back. Top and bottom corners at opening have small dings. Bottom corner at opening also has a small ding. Front cover's top-right corner at opening has a tiny tight 1/4" split. No other splits! Spine is all intact. A great looking cover! 

I would rate both records' condition as VG++ to Near Mint. Only a couple of minor marks that don't affect play. Sounds amazing on my player!

RARE IN ANY CONDITION!!!

DON'T MISS OUT!!!

Makes a great gift for any Beatles fan!
