The Beatles: Meet the Beatles

Capitol Stereo ST-2047 (1964)



VG+ / VG+
1964 Scranton pressing, with "Beatles" in brown on front of jacket and no producer credit for George Martin on back of jacket. Label has BMI credits for "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "I Saw Her Standing There", and "I Wanna Be Your Man". All others ASCAP. (Source: Tim Neely, Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, 5th Edition, p89)
A very pretty copy - high gloss, almost no wear to the vinyl. Plays beautifully. A little spindle wear (see scan). Jacket in original shrink - front about NM (e.g., rubbing in scan is to shrink, not the jacket itself); back VG+, with some ring wear from loss of shrink near open edge.
Original inner sleeve (blue, black and white) is VG, with seam split on one side and two pieces of scotch tape affixed there. 
Ships in new corrugated mailer, with corrugated pad inserts to protect corners and surfaces.


Live Wax Grading Process and Standards
--------------------------------------
All open records are cleaned using a Nitty Gritty Minipro 1 and then visually AND play-graded (visual grading alone will not adequately determine sound quality or reveal all potential defects - we reject many records that "look great"). Where appropriate/needed, records are then placed in Diskeeper audiophile sleeves and jacketed in poly sleeves for storage.

We are conservative in our grading: if borderline, we err on the side of caution and apply the lower grade. We intend for our customers to be delighted more often than not, and never less than satisfied.

Grades
------
Still Sealed (SS):  In original shrink wrap, and with no visible defects.

Near Mint (NM):  No visible or audible defects, appears unplayed.

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Shows slight signs of wear. Light scuffs or scratches may be present, rarely/barely audible.
No seam splits to jacket.

Very Good (VG):  Obvious wear and handling, including visible groove wear, surface noise, audible scratches, 
ring wear and small seam splits.

We generally do not offer any material in less than VG condition.
