Description
IN THIS AUCTION:
-
“MEET THE BEATLES” LP by The Beatles
-
This LP is Capitol Records ST 2047.
-
This is a STEREO LP.
-
The Cover is a Capitol-marked cover with “Capitol” on the front cover, rear cover and spine.
-
The LP in this auction was produced at Capitol Records’ Scranton pressing plant. This is based on the number “3” printed on the rear cover at lower right .
-
The VINYL has a triangle “? ” in the trail-off wax which is the symbol Capitol Records used to identify vinyl pressed at its Scranton Pressing Plant. So, this is the correct vinyl for this cover with the #3 on the cover and the “?” in the dead wax.
-
This LP has black Capitol labels with color bands.
-
This STEREO PRESSING is the SECOND LABEL VARIATION that credits ASCAP for every song except “I Want to Hold Your Hand” which is credited to BMI.
-
As you probably know, the First Variation labels for “MEET THE BEATLES” had NO ASCAP or BMI PUBLISHING CREDITS printed on the labels and has become tough (and very high-dollar) to find these days.
-
The COVER is in VERY STRONG VG+ to NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION. It is REALLY NICE and CLEAN with practically no wear. There is NO wear on the corners, seams or spine either. There is just a very tiny “push” on the lower right corner. There is some light overall aging (foxing) on the white rear cover mostly near the opening.
-
COVERS for SECOND LABEL VARIATION VINYL did not have the George Martin production credit printed on the rear cover and had “BEATLES” on the front cover in tan or brown. The COVER in this auction DOES NOT HAVE the George Martin production credit printed on the rear cover, and “BEATLES” is brown in color; therefore, this is the CORRECT COVER for this SECOND LABEL VARIATION VINYL.
-
The VINYL is in NICE STRONG VG CONDITION with a number of very light/slight surface hairlines/scuffs (none “feel-able”) and LOTS Of GLOSS!
-
This record comes with what may be its original and correct Capitol Records blue inner paper sleeve which has some minor tattering at the opening and a 6 -inch split on the bottom.
