Description
I am putting up for auction some Beatles’ Capitol Record Club LPs from my collection, so please check my other current auctions for more Beatles’ Capitol Record Club LPs. These Black Label with Color Band Beatles Capitol Record Club LPs were special pressings and are HARD-TO-FIND, for sure!!!
In this auction:
· “SOMETHING NEW” by The Beatles
· This LP was issued by Capitol Records.
· But this pressing is SPECIAL! This is the RARE CAPITOL RECORD CLUB PRESSING of this title.
· Record Club Pressings with black label and color band were issued in 1969.
· This Record Club pressing has the printing “Manufactured under license...”.
· This CAPITOL RECORD CLUB PRESSING has its own special catalog number an “8” preceding the original LP catalog number. This LP’s catalog number is ST 8 – 2108.
· The Beatles’ CAPITOL RECORD CLUB PRESSINGS have become VERY SOUGHT AFTER for their RARITY due to the very limited quantities pressed. You had to be a member of the record club to originally buy and have this LP shipped to you!! You could not walk into a record store in1969 and purchase this Record Club Pressing off the rack!
· And this Record Club vinyl also comes with its CUSTOM RECORD CLUB COVER!! The COVER in this auction has ST 8-2108 printed in several places: at the top right corner of the front cover, on the rear cover at top right and on the lower portion of the spine. The 3 black “hash-marks” on the left side of the top seam also identify this as a Record Club cover.
· The COVER is graded NICE VG+ CONDITION. It has light overall wear on both front and rear cover. The rear cover has some light to moderate overall aging. There is small corner push on the top right corner. A 2-inch seam split on the spine has been repaired and a little flaking there, otherwise, all seams and spine are fine. This is a # 16 (Jacksonville Pressing Plant) cover. (Just check the images and you’ll see that this is a nice VG+ cover!)
· The VINYL is ALSO GRADED VG+ CONDITION. There are some very light surface hairlines/scuffs. There is some wear on the Side 1 label at the spindle hole, but not on the Side 2 label.
· The black label/color band Record Club pressings (which were the FIRST Beatles Capitol Record Club pressings) are more difficult to find and have higher values than the green label Beatles Capitol Record Club pressings (that were issued LATER).
· If you are missing this one from your vinyl collection, here’s a nice copy for you if you’re the high bidder.
