$

240

This is John, Paul, George and Ringo, The Beatles, singing four songs on "Four By The Beatles" on Capitol EAP 1-2121 from 1964. This extended play record looks to be a strong VG++ with very minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a Capitol Records company sleeve. This is the original 45 with the blue/green labels. There are two picture sleeves (covers). The one with Ringo sitting in a chair is the Capitol Records picture cover and it is MINT condition. This is the sturdy heavy cardboard cover that was issued by Capitol for this EP.  The picture sleeve with all four Beatles sitting on a bench is a custom sleeve that was available over the internet in the early 2000's. It is also in MINT condition.  All of this comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeves. Price guides suggest a valuation of $400 for this 45 and picture cover in NM condition. You can save $100 off the lower end of that valuation for this nearly NM 45 and picture cover and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve with it.

U.S. postage and handling is free on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. 

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
