The BEATLES official USA Capitol 1980s reissue release of their First Original US 1964 STEREO LP album MEET THE BEATLES from January 1964 with 12 songs, mostly taken from their recent UK album WITH THE BEATLES (November). NOTE: This copy still has Issue number ST2047. NOTE: Mono was T2047! By 1988 this was on Capitol Purple labels but with a new issue number, C1-90441. So this version pre-dates that version. But is it Purple from 1978 or Rainbow from 1983??? This one is produced by George Martin. Fantastic, As always!! The 33rpm vinyl is always the best way to collect Beatles albums. Another of the worlds most iconic covers on a record album! The early Beatles with 1963 “long hair”, photo by Robert Freeman in the Astrid Kircherr style of shadowed images. A beautiful cover! This STILL SEALED LP is graded Goldmine NM, never opened, believed to contain the Purple Capitol labels shown in photo 3, but could be the Rainbow Capitol labels shown in photo 4. Anyone know for sure?? I spent an hour trying to verify!! I bought this copy SEALED around 1989! It is UNPLAYED. It is unopened!! See photos. Truly Near Mint. All Beatles UK albums were all remastered for 1987 reissue. And of course remastered again in 1995 and 2012, I think. So most of the “original ten” US Beatles Capitol Albums will probably NEVER be reissued again on vinyl!!! Classic hits here are: I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND, ALL MY LOVING, I SAW HER STANDING THERE, and I WANNA BE YOUR MAN!! Of course every song is a classic, even today, over 55 years later. My favorite: THIS BOY The Beatles aimed at getting the LP to market following the huge success of the single I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND, in the UK and the US!! Both the single and the album reached Number One by February when they were on the ED SULLIVAN SHIW three weeks in a row!! And all songs were originals by Lennon McCartney Harrison (except TILL THERE WAS YOU!! They all still sound so fresh, with Incredible energy from the Boys as they attack your ears with superb melodies and harmonies! This is a beautiful record, quite wonderful sounding!! John was 24, Ringo 24, Paul 21, and George 20 on this album release date. The cover/sleeve is SEALED in original shrink wrap since its purchase by me. I quickly learned to handle them as little as possible, especially one of these “new” reissues which I thought would become rarer and greatly treasured!! Read more on “45cat”, my favorite worldwide discography site. Trying to price it is guesswork. Very few are up for sale Still Sealed with the RIAA GOLD AWARD seal.
