SEALED ~ THE BEATLES ~ "YESTERDAY AND TODAY" ~ CAPITOL ST 2553 ~ 1976-1979 PRESSING ~ NO UPC

There isn't much more to say about this Beautiful MINT condition copy of THE BEATLES "YESTERDAY AND TODAY" that the headline doesn't say. This pressing, from the 1976 - 1979 period still has the original Capitol ST 2553 catalog number and NO UPC barcode. The cover artwork has been printed directly onto the whiteboard which Capitol changed to at sometime during this 1976-1979 period.
This Beautiful MINT condition copy of this infamous album is getting more and more difficult to find. I will grade the record and labels as MINT as they have always been sealed inside the cover. I need to grade the cover of this copy as MINT - (MINUS) for the following reasons: 1. There are noticeable corner bumps on three of the corners. 2. The shrink-wrap on the upper-right corner has a 1/4" tear right on the corner. It most likely tore when the corner was bumped. 3. Even though the shrink-wrap very nice, there is a 1" area above the front Capitol logo where the shrink-wrap machine appears to left a 1.5" burn mark on the shrink-wrap seam. This mark is not on the cover, only on the shrink-rap seam over this part of the jacket.   
THIS LP WAS PART OF A LARGE COLLECTION I PURCHASED ABOUT 35 YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN A COLLECTOR OF BEATLE ITEMS SINCE 1969. IN ADDITION, I'VE SPENT ALMOST MY CAREER (1971 TO 2004) IN THE RECORD BUSINESS IN DIFFERENT EXECUTIVE POSITIONS. A LARGE PORTION OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: AUTOGRAPHED GUITARS (26), GOLD RECORDS (18) SIGNED POSTERS (10) AND OTHER RARE BEATLES & OTHER ROCK ITEMS WERE RECENTLY SOLD BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR & A HALF. 
PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!

PAYMENT & SHIPPING DETAILS

IMPORTANT: Please wait for my invoice before paying for your auction winnings or the postage & handling costs will not be correct. I only accept payment through Paypal. Payment must be made within 72 hours after receipt of my invoice. Please contact me immediately if you will have any problems with these arrangements.

1. $6.00 for Priority shipping & handling to the United States.

Please note: The $6.00 cost only covers a portion of my total Priority Mail & Shipping Materials & Handling costs. Actual postage runs around $9.00 and then there is my cost of new packing materials, time & labor. I gladly pick up the difference to make sure your item is delivered quickly and safely.

2. International Shipping details & how customers are invoiced for International Shipment:

-$6.00 cost for Priority shipping & handling is for your item to quickly arrive at the eBay International Distribution Center. This assures your package will be received at the International Center with-in 2 days for a quick turn-around to your foreign destination. Normally, once items arrive at the center they are usually turned around and sent out to your destination within 24 hours.

-The cost of foreign postage & the documentation fees will also be on your invoice. When you pay the total invoice amount, the International shipping & documentation fees detailed on your invoice are automatically sent to the eBay International Shipping Center. I receive no part of that cost.

3. I apologize for the significantly higher postage costs for International customers. The US post office recently implemented the highest International postage rate increase in history, roughly 40%.

4. All shipments are insured and a tracking number will be supplied.

PLEASE NOTE: SEALED RECORDS MAY NOT BE RETURNED ONCE THE SHRINK-WRAP HAS BEEN OPENED. IT IS ADVISABLE FOR COLLECTORS VALUE TO ALWAYS LEAVE SEALED LPS SEALED.
