THE BEATLES - 1965 - CAPITOL STARLINE 6062 - LOVE ME DO - 45

This is a tough record to find and a better example may not come along for a long time. Vinyl visually grades NM- with only the lightest feathering to be seen. Labels crisp, clean - immaculate. Plays flawlessly. I'm including a original Starline sleeve with Artist and Song written in ink. Songs as follows:

Side 1

LOVE ME DO

Side 2

P.S. I LOVE YOU

GRADING: VINYL/JACKET

Near Mint (NM) – A NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and was opened for the first time”. In other words, it’s nearly perfect.

Record – NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks”. NM records play with no surface noise.

Cover /Picture Sleeves – NM covers have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out markings, ring wear or any signs of human handling. NM Picture Sleeves should have no creasing, ring wear or seam splits of any kind. It should look as if it never housed a record.

Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (EX) A VG+ record can be described as “except for a couple of minor things, this would be Near Mint”

Record – May show some light signs of wear, including light scuff marks or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are o.k. Minor signs of handling are o.k. such as telltale marks around the center hole. There may be some light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

Cover /Picture Sleeves – VG+ covers might be marred by a cutout marking or promotional stamp. There might be light signs of handling, such as light creasing at the corners. There can be slight wear at the most vulnerable areas and even a tiny bit of ring wear.

Very Good  - Many of the imperfections found on a  VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record.

Record – They lack most of the original gloss found on factory fresh records. Groove wear is eveident on sight, as are light scratches, deep enough to feel with a fingerbnail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, perhaps even occasional audible light scratch, especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or sticker will detract from the label of the disc.

Cover /Picture Sleeves – VG covers have more signs of wear, such as minor seam splits. Also minor writing tape or sticker may be present. Other signs of handling will be more evident, ring wear, especially at the top, bottom and middle of cover will be visible and it might affect the entire cover to a degree. Picture sleeves will have more signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle of the sleeve where the raised label of the r3ecord would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases and folds might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious, it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Writing may be present.

Shipping and Payment

Shipping and handling is based on your zipcode. Please use calcualtor. I'm happy to ship overseas however - INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ADD $8.00 TO SHIPPING FEES for REGISTERED USPS AIRMAIL. It's the only way I have never lost an overseas shipment, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! I use professional cardboard mailers and all records are in brand new paper/plastic sleeves. If there is a picture sleeve this will be in it's own plastic sleeve.

Payment with Pay Pal, money orders, cashiers check and personal checks, but you must allow 10 working days for a personal check to clear, before items will ship. Payment or arrangements must be made within 3 days of auction close.
