Beatles LP Help! First Pressing Still in Shrink A1 Plates Gorgeous Vinyl!

Stereo Scranton copy.

Vinyl--- Both sides look amazingly clean.  Not NM, but man, they are really close!  95% full mirror shine.  If I shine it toward a bare bulb, I can see your house from here.  Side 1 has ONE VERY fine line.  It will take you a while to even find it.  Side 2 has one visible scuff and maybe three or four very short hairlines, very light.  Stunning-looking piece of vinyl.

Plates--- A1/ A1.  This certainly a first-day issue.  Scranto copy has the “IAM” triangle in the dead wax on both sides.

Cover--- Best cover I have ever seen.  Spine has the Stereo catalogue number printed at the top and the Mono catalogue number printed at the bottom.  Gatefold has never been opened.  Breathe holes on both sides.  Cover retains 99% whiteness with just some specks of trapped dirt under the shrink, some sticker residue on the back.

Labels--- Stunning NM labels. NO spindle marks on either side.  Labels look brand new.  Space left under the 4th song title, “The Bitter End,” because they didn’t have the songwriting credit yet.  This gap is only found on first pressings.  Track 5 is listed as, “You’re Gonna Lose That Girl.”  Later pressings were changed to, “You’re Going to Lose That Girl.”

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Original olive inner sleeve is gorgeous.  Razor-sharp flat edges, clear graphics and text, and NO seam splits.

RIAA: Not on this one.

This is a superior copy.  No upgrade will be needed.

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!) 

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!)
