READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning. I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.
So with that said…
Beatles LP 1964 STEREO Meet the Beatles 3 BMI LA in Shrink, Beautiful NM!
Many rare Beatles albums still in shrink listed this week.
Vinyl--- EX/ NM. Both sides look close to untouched. Gorgeous copy!
Plates--- A5/ A5. Definitely early 1964 plates. This copy has the wide 5-pointed star in the dead wax from 1963, as opposed to the more familiar machine-stamped asterisk from 1964, making this a first pressing from Los Angeles.
Cover--- NM. Stunning crisp, BRAND NEW-LOOKING! All white borders and areas are still 1964-blinding white. No ringwear, No dirtwear. Shrink is tight against the cover, has some dulling that has not transferred to the cardboard cover. Olive green lettering. ZEEE-ro yellowing anywhere. ZEEE-ro. Mouth isn’t the slightest bit frayed or misshapen from use. This is the best cover I’ve ever seen.
Breathe Holes--- There is one breathe hole between the “L” and “E” in the word, “BEATLES.”
Labels--- VG+/ VG+. Full-color, nice and bold. But there is wear around the rims of both labels. One or two extremely light spindle marks per side. Use a direct bright bulb to find them, otherwise you won’t readily see them. Capitol domes are the darker cobalt blue leftover from 1963, as opposed to the bluish-white ones, starting in 1964.
Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Dark blue original Capitol inner sleeve is present and in VG condition. Would be a hiogher grade, except that one side seam is split about five inches.
A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original Capitol inner sleeve en route.
RIAA: 6.
As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up. Thanks!)
Note: All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.
CAUTION! There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids. A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.
Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!
(Please note: Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized. The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle. Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix? Thanks!)
