Description
THE BEATLES - 'THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM'
This NEAR MINT U.S. STEREO pressing of their 1964 2nd U.S. album dates from 1968.
This .
This Columbia contract pressing was manufactured at Columbia Record's, Santa Maria plant, near San Francisco and has the black colour-band Capitol label (ST-2080) with 'A Subsidiary Of Capitol Industries' on the rims.
Matrix numbers: ST-1-2080-A11 & ST-2-2080-B12
Vinyl weight: 124g
Housed in a slick-on-posterboard cover with the number '6' in the lower right corner of the rear panel & still in its original shrink.
Complete with an earlier blue Capitol advertising inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect pair with no spindle marks to or around either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Clean unworn playing surfaces which bear a handful of light surface marks on side 1, consistent mainly with inner-sleeve storage/removal, but nothing I would call a scratch.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Little played & free from any groove/playwear throughout. Apart from a little low-level vinyl background between tracks it's hard to fault.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean & strong with unblemished front and rear panel. The corners are light bumped but there is no wear to either opening edge. There is a touch of storagewear rubbing to the shrink and a small section missing in the upper left corner. Both seams are intact, as is the fully worded spine.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with small splits to each seam.
