"The Beatles' Second Album"
German ODEON
ZTOX 5558
Well folks, here's and increasingly rare ORIGINAL lp from The Beatles in 1964. These copies were originally distributed in very small, limited numbers to foreign military bases in Germany. With the limited distribution, this Lp is known as the rarest German Beatles album to exist! This is evident by the abscence of another of the same pressing on Ebay (when I listed this copy...)

Vinyl: VG. There are quite a few light marks, but that's all they are-LIGHT! Lovely and raw and in STEREO....I can just imaging the soldiers dancing with some local women in the local bar to this record! A bit of background crackle, but a good clean will reduce any further background noise. Having just listened to THE WHOLE ALBUM; I noticed a very small jump at the start of track 1 side 1-a slightly heavier stylus would sort this out, no problem.
Flat, FLat, FLAT...With original sheen!
Cover: Original front laminated cover with the catalogue number in the top right. Card backing, with pictures of The Beatles and an advert for "Meet The Beatles" Lp. The covwer has seen better days as there's a fair degree of feathering to the opening as well as a 1cm split to the front and two (one 1cm and one 2cm) small splits to the back card. Rather discoloured too. Some tape residue to the top and bottom (not sure if this is factory produced as there really isn't any need for tape-not splits to the top/bottom). One split of 3cm to the spine. It's certainly not a completely trashed copy of a rare cover-but far from mint! Please see the picture.
Inner: Plastic lined inner in great condition-It has done it's job in keeping the record in very good condition.
ALL IN ALL A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET HOLD OF AN ICREASINGLY RARE ALBUM-NOT MINT, BUT CERTAINLY NOT TRASHED

A note on grading: Mint means I have just stepped out of my time machine from the 60's OR kept the record in fantastic dry, warm and ideal conditions for 50 years...Unlikely isn't it..
