Description
THE CLEAN VINYL OF THIS LISTING IS THE SELLING POINT!
This 1967 pressing has these features and matrices:
Triangular stamp with the letters "I AM' in runouts denotes a Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton pressing. Black label with colorband, without "subsidiary" rim text. BMI credit after every song on label.
"All selections are published by Maclen Music, Inc., BMI" on left inside gatefold.
Original issue with ("No You're Not" said Little Nicola) under the "I Am The Walrus" title inside the gatefold sleeve in block print
"Some of the psychedelic inner sleeves were also used for Magical Mystery Tour, although most copies of that album, as well as all Beatles albums pressed in late 1967 and 1968, were packaged in generic white dust jackets without die-cut center holes". Source: The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records - Part 2 written by Bruce Spizer. Page 224. This one has a plain white inner sleeve.
Matrices:
Matrix / Runout (Runout A etched, /IAM\ stamped): SMAL-1-2835-A21 #3 /IAM\ Matrix / Runout (Runout B etched, /IAM\ stamped): SMAL-2-2835-B22 3 /IAM\
NOTE: the "3" at the end of each matrix (#3 and 3) appears stamped rather than etched.
The booklet in this version is unfortunately mostly not present and detached. Found inside was just the first and last leaf of the booklet detached from the binding, with all the inner leaves/pages not present. The jacket otherwise in pretty good condition, with moderate corner wear, light edge wear, no marks, rings or splits. LP stored in plain white inner sleeve, LOOKS PRETTY CLEAN with some light scratches seen over generally clean vinyl, I'll grade VG+ (conservatively, likely better).
