Beatles “Meet the Beatles” MONO LP Still in Shrink NM

$

129

(Note to newbies: “Still in shrink does not mean still sealed!  It means the album is opened, but the owner didn’t pull the shrink off the cover.)

This week’s auctions are from my A-List.  All Beatles LP’s listed will either be first or second pressings, all still in the shrink!  Be sure to look at them all.

Cover---Previous owner took great pains to very carefully scotch tape the shrinkwrap nice and tight.  The only place the tape touches the cover is at the center of the mouth of the cover.  As a result, the colors are bright and crisp, the corners and seams are razor-sharp.  There is a little yellowing on the backside, along the mouth, and that’s it.  Otherwise, this looks like a brand new cover.  There are two breathe holes on the front, between John and George.  RIAA is 9.

Inner Sleeve---The originally issued inner sleeve is present.  It’s the tan Capitol sleeve, indicating that this was a later mono issue, probably 1965 or 1966.  Some discoloration with age.  All seams are steady-strong.  No splits.  Your mono “Meet the Beatles” LP will be shipped in a generic inner sleeve, so as not to damage your original Capitol sleeve during shipping.

Vinyl---Drop-dead gorgeous, gleaming blinding vinyl.  Looks stunning brand new.  There are few very light lines on both sides that my camera picked an argument with me over, because it couldn’t see them to photograph.  You’ll find them under a direct bright and bare bulb, but not in normal room lighting.  Cherry.  Plates are F13/ G14.

Labels---Labels are perfect.  Not a single spindle mark.  This is a Los Angeles pressing with Jacksonville labels.  Very scarce in-house labels with tiny font.  Since the Jacksonville plant went online in the summer of 1965, this is one of the first titles it had pressed.

(Please note that due to time constraints, I have had to stop play-testing my vinyl.  However, I am happy to by request.  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!)
