                    Beatles - The Early Beatles 1965

                 USA-  Capital ST-2309 green label.

The Early Beatles is The Beatles' sixth release on Capitol Records, and their eighth album for the American market. The album resembles more of an early compilation because all of the tracks had previously been featured on the early 1964 Vee-Jay release Introducing... The Beatles. The front cover photo for this album is the same as the back cover photo for the British LP Beatles for Sale.

Vee-Jay had gained American rights to the tracks before the group became popular in America (because Capitol, the US division of EMI which owns The Beatles' record label Parlophone, had refused to release the group's records), and their releases had initially failed to chart. But after the group became popular, Vee-Jay, still having the rights to the early material, were able to re-release them in America and this time the records sold in the millions. Capitol tried to stop Vee Jay from releasing the tracks, but were not successful. In October 1964, Vee-Jay's license to distribute the Beatles recordings they possessed expired, so Capitol were finally able to get the American distribution rights for the album.

See grading scale below.

I strictly grade my records, I examine them under a bright light so that no one will be disappointed.

Please ask all ???'s before bidding.

GRADING SCALE

Mint (M): The record , cover and all inserts are in absolutely perfect condition. If there is even one flaw, such as the cover photo being crooked, the record is M- or Near Mint at best. We do not use this grade, even for sealed/new records.

Mint - (M-): The highest grade we use, as we believe there are no such things as “Mint” records. Full vinyl gloss. Label not faded. No signs of wear on disc or cover.

Excellent ++ (EX++): Not quite M-, may have literally one or two very minor flaws; ONE light paper scuff; small writing on label and/or cover; dinged corner; etc.

Excellent + (EX+): Slightly better than EX. Has a few very minor flaws.

Excellent (EX): Better than average. Has a few minor flaws, very minor label wear. Very little or no lessening of sound quality. The cover may have slight wear or creasing.

Excellent - (EX-): A bit better than average. Light scuffing, a few very light scratches (“needle scuffs”); little deterioration in sound. The cover may have a small seam split. Ring wear and/or seam wear may be more prominent

Very Good ++ (VG++): Not quite EX-; slight scuffing and possibly some graying in the grooves. No major deterioration in sound quality.

Very Good + (VG+): Only slightly better than average condition; the record has obviously been played. Light scuffs and some light scratches (“needle scuffs”) are visible. Only slight deterioration/distortion in sound.

Very Good (VG): Average condition. Used but not abused. Scratches and hiss can be heard upon playback. Normal wear and tear on cover will be present in the way of split seams/spine or moderate to heavy ring wear. Generally worth 50% of Mint condition value.

Very Good - (VG-): Just slightly less than average, still a good record to play. Has numerous scratches and scuffs; a few “clicks” or “pops” and hiss will be heard upon playback. This is usually the lowest grade we use on eBay.

Good + (G+): Good plus is just slightly better than Good. Sound quality is noticeably deteriorated.
