THE BEATLES - MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR LP 1967 MONO JACKET STEREO DISC Capitol 2835

Here's a bit of an anomaly - a MONO jacket for MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR from THE BEATLES but it comes with a STEREO disc. This is what's called a "FRANKENSTEIN" copy in the collecting community - when a disc is paired with the wrong jacket (or vice versa). Both pieces show a moderate amount of wear but you know these old Capitol pressings...you could run them over with an 18 wheeler and somehow they would still play and sound fine. So, if you need a MONO jacket (or a STEREO disc) to complete your copy, here's your chance to do it for a very nice price. PLEASE READ GRADING DETAILS BELOW!

Condition varies...please keep in mind that VG+ means average, used condition with no significant defects in my grading scale...pretty much somewhere right in middle...not a top copy but far from junk. VG is on the lower end of my grading scale and I try not to go any lower than that. EX and up and it's in well above average condition. PLEASE READ GRADING DETAILS BELOW!

All records are cleaned thoroughly with the SPIN CLEAN Record Washer system and are ready to throw on the turntable.

If you haven't bought from me before, here's 3 quick things you need to know about me as a seller:

1) I HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING THIS! I WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN TOO! I'M EASY TO TALK TO - JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. I'M HERE FOR THE PARTY!

2) I am very proud of my feedback, and it should tell you a lot about my history on eBay. I actually really truly care about making this a positive transaction for both of us.

3) All of my records are cleaned with the Spin Clean MK-II. It does a fantastic job. Remember - cleaning them doesn't remove the scratches of scuffs, but it does remove the grime and fingerprints and dust and bong resin and Cheetos flakes. I'll put it this way: if I were selling a used car, there's no way I would put it on the lot with a price tag on it if I haven't cleaned it first. And when I get a used record in the mail, it makes me so much happier when it's already cleaned and ready to go. It takes time and effort to do this but I want you to be happy. Plus, it's easier to grade and see how many marks are on the record after it gets a bath. Hip hip HOORAY! We win!

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

ARTIST: THE BEATLES

TITLE: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

LABEL: CAPITOL

CATALOG NUMBER: (DISC - SMAL 2835, JACKET 2835 MONO)

YEAR: 1967

VINYL GRADE: 6 VG (*PLAY GRADED* This is a STEREO copy. As noted above, there is a moderate amount of surface wear. VG is on the low end of my grading scale and a VG- grade would mean it skips. This obviously does not skip with a VG grade but you will encounter some surface and background noise in between songs and during the quiet passages. I have to admit that this thing is not very pretty - there's a LOT of surface wear - but amazingly it plays just fine when the music is in full swing. Seriously. Me and my kids have been listening to this for the past week and it hasn't bothered me whatsoever. And yes, too many snaps crackles and pops would definitely bother me.)

JACKET GRADE: 6 VG (Punch hole in upper right corner. Top seam has a split. Inside of booklet has become detached but still included. Well used. Several photos to see what you are getting with this. This is a MONO jacket. See photos for details.)

INNER SLEEVE: Includes plain white inner sleeve.

ADDITIONAL INFO: MONO jacket. STEREO disc. Well used but disc still sounds fine. Jacket is likely the more valuable piece in this listing as MONO copies are hard to come by, Can you go wrong for under $20 with FREE SHIPPING...? Probably not!

Please check out my other auctions - I am in the process of listing a ton of records. Win as many as you like, I won't charge any more than $4 for shipping if you are in the US! SHIPPING IS FREE IF YOU WIN 3 OR MORE AUCTIONS!?

DUDES AND DUDETTES - I CLEAN MY RECORDS. I TAKE GOOD PHOTOS. I ACTUALLY LIKE TO SIT HERE AND GRADE THEM WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN BED. I'M HAVING A GAS - YOU SHOULD TOO!

Most of my albums (both jackets and discs) show their age and have been visibly used over the years. I have cleaned each and every one of these and given them a visual grade (and will also play grade - time permitting - if they show questionable surface marks).  I will try to be as specific as possible with the imperfections in the details below and will note when there is something significant. Most of these will be decent players at higher volume levels so if that's what you're after, go for it. I have a full time job and don't really do this for the money - most of the time the money I make goes right back into more records for my collection. I have 2 young kids and this is called "daddy" time in the basement. I absolutely do NOT want to attempt to rip off anyone...I'm here for the party, man!

***NO SHIPPING TO ITALY***NO WAY***NEVER AGAIN***

Overall, anything with a grade of 7/VG+ will show some surface wear and/or needle marks but nothing deep. Anything with that grade will still play fine in my book. Obviously if it's an 8/EX or 9/NrMINT it will be in fantastic condition. Please note the subjective nature of grading; your VG+ might be my VG or my VG+ might be someone else's EX - you just have to pay attention, read my grading scale, and most importantly - ASK QUESTIONS.

HERE'S HOW I GRADE:

10 – MINT (Sealed, perfect condition.)

9 – Nr MINT (Like new with only a hint of wear.)

8 – EX (Very few blemishes. Maybe a couple light scratches on the vinyl or a few light creases to the jacket. Serious collectors will be satisfied with this grade.)

7 – VG+ (Average, used condition. Most of my vinyl and jackets are in this condition. Vinyl will show playwear/scratches, but nothing deep and it will play through fine. You may encounter a "pop" or two or some light background noise.The jacket may have creasing, edgewear, ringwear, or corner dings but nothing significant.)

6 – VG (Vinyl/jacket may will show a fair to moderate amount of wear .Vinyl may show a number of scratches and you will likely experience some background noise during playback, but NO skips. The jacket may show a fair amount of wear in the form of creasing, edgewear, ringwear, writing, seam splits, etc.)

5 – VG- (Rarely will I sell anything of this grade unless it is a collector item with some value. Moderate to heavy wear on the vinyl and/or jacket.)

I WILL DETAIL ANY IMPERFECTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION! HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY!
