The Beatles

Beatles '65

Beatles '65  includes eight of the fourteen songs from Beatles for Sale (omitting "Eight Days a Week", "Words of Love", "Every Little Thing", "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party", "What You're Doing", and the "Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" medley, all of which were issued on Beatles VI). It also includes "I'll Be Back" from A Hard Day's Night and the single "I Feel Fine"/"She's a Woman". These latter two songs were remixed into "duophonic" [fake] stereo and drenched in reverb by Capitol Records' executive Dave Dexter, Jr to cover up the use of the mono mixes sent from England.

The mono versions of both "I Feel Fine" and "She's A Woman" were also remixed with added echo and reverb for the single and mono album release.

The stereo mix of "Mr. Moonlight" has a longer fadeout than the mono version.

In the US the album was a blockbuster hit, and jumped from number 98 straight to number one, making the biggest jump to the top position in the history of the Billboard Album Charts up to that time. It remained at number one for nine straight weeks, starting on 9 January 1965.

In what may be testament to the overwhelming market appeal of the Beatles, several albums were released and promoted in America during 1965 sporting a similar title. These included Sinatra '65 by Frank Sinatra and Ellington '65 by Duke Ellington on Reprise Records, Trio '65 by jazz pianist Bill Evans on Verve Records, and Brasil '65 by Sérgio Mendes on the Beatles' own Capitol label.

RPM RECORDS: VINYL OLDIES

The Vinyl record grading standards provided below will help you to better understand the condition.

GOLDMINE grading standards used.

MINT (M) Absolutely perfect in every way.

Near Mint (M-) A nearly perfect record.The record shows no obvious sign of wear. The vinyl or sleeve should have at the most a very minor defect.

Very Good Plus,Plus VG++ May have a tiny scuff,light scratch or insignificgant defect that prevents me from grading it Near mint

Very Good Plus (VG+) Worth 1/2 the value of near mint. A VG+ will show signs of being played and handled.The vinyl will show signs of surface wear it may have scuffs or light scratches that don't affect the listening experience. They may have slight warps that do not affect the sound.
The label or picture sleeve may have light ringwear or discoloration. Jacket or P.S. might have a cut-out or bent corner (dog-ear) or a slight seam split.
Very Good(VG) Many of the defects found in a VG record will be more pronounced in a VG record.Surface noise will be evident when playing,especially in soft passages and during a songs intro and fade as well as between the tracks.The noise should not overpower the music.
Groove wear will start to be noticeable,as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a finger nail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may have writing,or tape or stickers (or their residue)attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves.A VG record should have no more than 2 or 3 of these problems at the same time.Regardless of defects found in VG vinyl it is an inexpensive alternative to a NM copy.A VG record is a desirable addition for many collectors.
Good (G), Good Plus (GD+) Will have any one or more of the above listed defects. Either one can be played on a turntable without skipping.It will have significant surface noise and scratches as well as visible groove wear.
A sleeve will have seam splits.Tape,writing,ring wear or other defects will be much more pronounced.
Poor (P),Fair (F) Can be cracked,warped won't play through without skipping or repeating.The picture sleeve is water damaged ,split on all 3 sides or heavily laden with wear or writing. These would only be sought after if they are extremely rare and held until a better copy comes along.
