 FOR SALE IS A COPY OF THE BEATLES' "THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM (ST2080)" STEREO LP RELEASED ON CAPITOL RECORDS IN 1964. UNLIKE THE FIRST LABEL VARIANTS (WHICH WERE PRINTED WITH TIMING AND CREDIT ERRORS), THIS PRESSING HAS CORRECTED THE MISTAKES THAT APPEAR ON THE EARLIER (AND MUCH MORE COMMON) PRESSINGS OF THIS RECORD. THE COVER IS G+ / RECORD IS VG.

THE COVER HAS A MODERATE AMOUNT OF EDGE AND STORAGE WEAR. THERE IS ALSO SOME STAINING ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVER, RANGING FROM MODERATE TO HEAVY (THE HEAVIEST BEING THE TAPE STAINS THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES OF THIS ITEM.) THE BOTTOM SEAM AND SPINE SEEM TO HAVE COMPLETELY SPLIT, BUT HAVE BEEN RETAPED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE COVER IS STILL PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE RECORD.

THE RECORD HAS A LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNT OF SURFACE SCRATCHING AS WELL AS A MODERATE SCUFF ON SIDE 1. NONE OF THESE MARKS CAN BE FELT TO THE TOUCH, NOR DO THEY AFFECT THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS RECORD. THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO SKIPS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE, MOSTLY NOTICED IN THE QUIETER SECTIONS OF THIS RECORD. OVERALL, THIS RECORD IS A VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN! YOU WILL BE SATISFIED!

BELOW I HAVE POSTED THE GRADING SYSTEM I USE FOR ALL MY RECORDS:

SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.

NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.

VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks ­ very minor ­ that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.

VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.

VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.

G: I try not to go here, but if it's a rare or exceptionally great piece of music that must be heard, then I'll offer it. But the noise will be very noticeable, and you'll want to find a better copy. Still, the record will be fully playable, and you should enjoy it because it's such wonderful music. Jackets in this condition will have large seam splits, large writing, paper tears, or water damage. But it will still be fully capable of protecting the album inside.

F: I'll never go here on both the vinyl and jacket. This would have to be a case where the vinyl was playable with a bad jacket OR a real special jacket with the record not of much use. You won't see this very often!
