125

Capitol ST 2309, sealed and mint, cover has tiny crack to top enter seam (pic), Litho company number 3, guaranteed first rainbow label press, NM/M.  In my mind one of the hardest original beatle pressings to obtain, all the maniacs had this stuff on the first vee jay albums, and stereos seem much more rare these days with the early "3'' cover than any others.  Have had this for decades and I paid eight times the starting bid back then, very rare.

I have been collecting records for 45 years.  All records I sell are out of my own extensive collection and have been upgraded consistently over the years.  Any record I sell is the best I could find in all this time.  I had a store for a while and would try to keep one copy of albums I liked.  Most are unplayed.  I try to keep my descriptions short to save you time.  I assume, if you are here, you know the album, titles, etc.  If not, Allmusic is a great site to get the scoop. Bid with confidence!

All shipping costs worldwide are under the shipping tab at the bottom!!

Let me say something about shipping:  I am not Amazon.com.  I go to the post office once  a week, usually on Wednesdays. "Priority mail" means it goes by air...it does not mean it goes out in the next hour.  I have never had a package lost and do not get complaints about packing.  If you cannot be patient with shipping time, well you know.  Of course all your purchases are guaranteed for satisfaction.   

All records are guaranteed if returned in same condition. 

Records are visually graded unless stated...have been doing this for a long time.

All grades are cover first then record. 

MINT is unplayed, sealed, or play-graded mint.

MINT MINUS is like new but probably played once or twice...most would grade this mint

NEAR MINT is near new with some slight signs of play...an extremely clean record

VERY GOOD PLUS is collectible but might have some light sleeve marks and some light noise...still plays very well with no major issues.

I WILL USE  (+) AND (-) FOR EMPHASIS ON THE BASIC GRADES...I DO NOT LIST ITEMS LESS THAN VERY GOOD PLUS UNLESS THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND THEN A FULL DISCLOSURE WILL BE PROVIDED.   BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

Flaws in covers will be noted.
