Description
I’m listing more duplicates from my collection of Beatles-related vinyl. So, please check out my other auctions, too, for items you may want.
In this auction are: 1 Capitol Records Picture Cover & 1 Capitol Records EP 7-inch record. Here are the details:
· “FOUR BY THE BEATLES” Extended Play (EP) by The Beatles
· This is Capitol Records EAP 1-2121.
· It was issued in May 11, 1964.
· This EP contains 4 songs. Side 1: “ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN” & “ALL MY LOVING” Side 2: “THIS BOY” & “PLEASE MISTER POSTMAN”.
· This EP was issued in a cardboard cover entitled “FOUR BY THE BEATLES”.
· The PICTURE COVER is in VERY STRONG VG+ to NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION!!! Only 2 staple holes near the top corner (where a price tag was probably once attached) and an “H” neatly stamped on one side keep me from grading this cover Near Mint. (I don’t get the stamped-“H”, but that is the reason I put VG+, because I guess it has to be considered to be like a written price on the sleeve.) There are NO corner pushes, and there is NO wear on the seams, not a bit at all!! Check out the images and you will see a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE COVER!!! There is PRACTICALLY NO WEAR on this cover at all, not even on the corners or edges!!! Just the 2 staple holes on each side and “H” (on one side) keep it from being Near Mint. You will see that the cover slick on one side is a bit lighter than the slick on the other side, but this is not due to fading. It’s just a difference in the image processing at the time of manufacturing.
· The VINYL is graded NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION with just a few VERY LIGHT surface hairlines/scuffs. One label has the number “56” written in dark fine-point pen very lightly and unobtrusively.
· The EP format (7-inch record with 2 songs on each side) for Beatles’ records was not common at all in the U.S. In fact, only 3 Beatles’ EPs were commercially released in the U.S. in the 1960s: 2 were issued by Capitol Records and another was issued by Vee Jay Records. (The Vee Jay EP is being offered in another of my current auctions.)
· It’s a RARE BEATLES CAPITOL EP IN EXTREMELY NICE CONDITION that deserves a place in someone’s Beatles or vinyl collection!
