READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning. I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.
I took in a large collection of Beatles albums this week, which range in condition from a nice VG to EX. They feature labels from first pressing Capitol to Apple through to the purple Capitol label. I tossed out all the garbage, and will be selling these copies interspersed with my regular inventory for anyone who would like to have great play-copies, but who generally can’t afford the rarer variations for sale.
The vinyl is very good on these, although the covers may be a bit dirty, and/or split. Here’s one that’s a good, solid play copy.
Beatles 1966 LP “Yesterday”…and Today First Pressing MONO Non-Butcher, VG!
Vinyl--- VG/VG. My VG grading is still a strong, playable grade. Lots of scratches on both sides, but none are feelable. These are untested, so they might play with some surface noise. If that’s the case, a good cleaning will do it a world of good.
Plates--- G4/F5. Machine-stamped triangle with the letters, “IAM” inside it makes this copy pressed by Scranton.
Cover--- VG. Top right corner of the front cover has a water stain, where someone rested a glass. Top left corner of the back cover looks like a cat chewed a small section of it. Light to moderate dirtwear. NO SPLIT SEAMS.
Labels--- EX/EX. Light spindle marks.
Capitol Inner Sleeve--- VG-. Original Capitol yellow inner sleeve is present. Could use a replacement.
A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original Capitol inner sleeve en route.
RIAA: 4
As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up. Thanks!)
Note: All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.
CAUTION! There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids. A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.
Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!
(Please note: Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized. The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle. Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix? Thanks!)
