Description

I can't find the precise matrices found on this record on discogs, but a close matrix match and other features match a listing that would characterize this as an Indianapolis press including:  
"Black rainbow label without "subsidiary" rim text. This label variation credits BMI for the first two titles on side A and the fifth title on side B, all other titles credited to ASCAP.
Pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis as indicated by the "I" in the run out area 
Compares favorably to the other Indianapolis mono pressing (found here: Meet The Beatles!), but can be distinguished by the rear cover containing a factory code of "3" (Modern Album) found in the bottom-right below Ringo Starr's name."
The matrices are:
Pressing Plant ID (Stamped in runouts): I Matrix / Runout (A-side runout): T1 2047 T5 I  Matrix / Runout (B-side runout): T2 2047 T1 I 
Jacket with light edge and corner wear, a bit of paper tearing bottom left hand corner, light ring and soiling back jacket jacket, no ink markings, a scratch-off of the paper on Ringo Starr's pants near the boots.  Original Capitol blue inner sleeve, split on bottom center about 3", no other splits.  LP LOOKS PLAYABLE with some light visible not feelable scratches over generally clean vinyl, will grade VG+.
