In this auction are the following:

1 Capitol Records EP Picture Cover & 1 Capitol Records EP 7-inch record   

·       “4-BY THE BEATLES” Extended Play (EP) by The Beatles  

·       This is Capitol Records R-5365.

·       It was issued February 1, 1965.

·       This EP contains 4 songs. Side 1: “HONEY DON’T” & “I’M A LOSER I”. Side 2: “MR MOONLIGHT” & “EVERYBODY’S TRYING TO BE MY BABY”.

·       This EP was issued in a cardboard cover entitled “4-BY THE BEATLES”.

·       This EP cover has the same image as the “BEATLES ‘65” LP cover.

·       The COVER is in NICE VG+ CONDITION!!! Only a small 1-inch seam split on the bottom seam at the opening, a tiny thumb-tack hole at top center, a very tiny corner push on the top right corner, and some corner wear on the bottom corners kept me from grading the cover higher. The cover photos are nice, just check out the images!)

·       The VINYL is in GOOD PLUS CONDITION. There are numerous surface hairlines/scuffs and a few scratches that are probably audible.   

·       The EP format (7-inch record with 2 songs on each side) for Beatles’ records was not common at all in the U.S. In fact, only 3 Beatles’ EPs were commercially released in the U.S. in the 1960s: 2 were issued by Capitol Records and another was issued by Vee Jay Records.

·       It’s a RARE BEATLES CAPITOL EP that deserves a place in someone’s vinyl collection!
