INCREDIBLE BEATLES LOT: ALL 19 CAPITOL SWIRL 45s + 18 PICTURE SLEEVES + BONUS!

YOU GET THE ENTIRE SERIES—EVERY ONE OF THE 19 CAPITOL SWIRL 45s RELEASED BY THE BEATLES!

AND 18 OF THE PICTURE SLEEVES!

PLUS AN AWESOME BONUS (see below)!

These are not throwaway fillers. I’ve put together the ABSOLUTE PICK OF THE CROP of more than 1000 Beatles 45s and hundreds of picture sleeves I’ve collected over decades.

The records have been spot-checked by me on a new turntable only once. Instead of alphabet ratings, which are so subjective and misleading, I’m giving you a real appraisal of the sleeve, label and playback qualities. I was once a Disk Jockey, so I’m able to bring a little expertise—and a lot of honesty—into this auction.

Plus, I’m offering a SUPER BONUS that I’ll get into after you read my descriptions of this outstanding collection:

A HARD DAY’S NIGHT/I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER CAPITOL 5222

DISC: An outstanding East Coast First Press, with super sound and a flawless label.

SLEEVE: Nice but for a small price tag on the A-side, and a tear in the center of the sleeve.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE/BABY YOU’RE A RICH MAN CAPITOL 5964 

DISC: This is an early East Coast pressing, Later pressings had a comma in the B-Side title. The sound is fabulous! The label is, too, with just a hint of ringwear.

SLEEVE: Strong and clean, with no writing, no splits, no holes. Just a very few microtears at the top from putting the disc in and out.

AND I LOVE HER/IF I FELL CAPITOL 5235 

DISC: A dandy East Coast First Press, with the Unart publishing credit that was later removed. Very nice sound for its age.

SLEEVE: The A-side has price tag residue. Otherwise, terrific!

CAN’T BUY ME LOVE/ YOU CAN’T DO THAT CAPITOL 5150 

DISC: Very good sound, with some normal fuzz in the intro and ending. There’s no marks, labels or stickers on the label, but some minor ringwear to be expected on one of their first singles.

EIGHT DAYS A WEEK/ I DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY CAPITOL 5371

DISC: Another East Coast First Press, and this one’s sensational! An amazing copy for its age, visually and aurally.

SLEEVE: A super strong copy; not a mark on it!

HELLO GOODBYE/I AM THE WALRUS CAPITOL 2056

DISC: Just a wee bit of ringwear keeps this disc from being perfect. The sound is as clean as they come.

SLEEVE: A terrific sleeve, free from tears, writing, marks, stickers.

HELP!/I’M DOWN CAPITOL 5476 

DISC: Not a flaw to be seen—or heard.

SLEEVE: On the B-side there’s a number written in the “s” of “Beatles,” which you’d have to know about to see. And a couple of tiny holes, probably from a stapler from long ago. Otherwise, a strong sleeve, indeed.

I FEEL FINE/SHE’S A WOMAN CAPITOL 5327

DISC: Side A is Near Mint. Side B has a small bit of sticker residue. The sound is just superb!

SLEEVE: Some minor ringwear on both sides, a good deal less than you’d expect. Side B has a written name and number, very small.

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND/I SAW HER STANDING THERE CAPITOL 5112 

DISC: The Hofer credit on Side B indicates a First Pressing. The audio quality is like you just brought it home from the record store in 1964! There’s some normal wear on both sides, but no marks, tears or stickers.

SLEEVE: Very strong, no marks, writing, whatever.

I’LL CRY INSTEAD/I’M HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU CAPITOL 5234 

DISC: The sound on this one is, in a word, awesome! Some small initials and a number on the label don’t take away from the effect.

SLEEVE: A fine copy of one of the more popular—and scarce—swirl sleeves. Only a small name on both sides, along with a small price sticker on Side-A, is what separates it from perfection.   

LADY MADONNA/ THE INNER LIGHT CAPITOL 2138 

DISC: This disc appears—and sounds—like it was never played! Absolutely Near Mint! From the markings in the dead wax, this appears to be a West Coast pressing. The label has the running times of both songs, indicating it is a later issue; the earlier ones were printed too soon to include the running times.

SLEEVE: The sleeve is ragged on one side, although not spilt. The new owner can possibly clean it up with a touch of glue.

MATCHBOX/SLOW DOWN CAPITOL 5255 

DISC: Very minor ringwear and a small name on the A-side are the only minuses here. The sound quality has some age-appropriate noise that can usually be filtered out or to a bare minimum. 

SLEEVE: One of the most sought-after Beatles sleeves, this one’s a beauty! There’s just some small price sticker residue on the flip side. Note how the sleeve has “Match Box” as two words, and the record label has it as one.

NOWHERE MAN/ WHAT GOES ON CAPITOL 5587 

DISC: Definitely superior sound and appearance on both sides! This early East Coast pressing does not include writing credit to Ringo for “What Goes On.” Later pressings corrected that mistake.

SLEEVE: One of the best sleeves in this package, it’s mark-free, and strong like it just came off the presses,

PAPERBACK WRITER/ RAIN CAPITOL 5651

DISC: This West Coast pressing would be absolutely perfect if a previous owner hadn’t written a number on the B-side.

SLEEVE: A very strong sleeve except for a couple of scrapes on the group’s name.

PENNY LANE/ STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER CAPITOL 5810 

DISC: This is an early pressing with the running time shown for “Penny Lane” of 3:00. Subsequent  (and rarer) pressings had the corrected time of 2:57. It sounds just fine.

SLEEVE: This sleeve has some wrinkles, scuffs and a small tear at the top.

TICKET TO RIDE/YES IT IS CAPITOL 5407

DISC: Here’s another disc in this package that looks and sounds like it was never played!

SLEEVE: Other than “Can’t Buy Me Love” (not included here), “Ticket to Ride” is probably the most valuable of all the swirl sleeves. This one is superb!

WE CAN WORK IT OUT/ DAY TRIPPER CAPITOL 5555 

DISC: A bit of scuffing doesn’t take away from this great double-sided #1 hit.  

SLEEVE: A little ragged on top and a crease in the middle, but no marks, tears, stickers, prices, etc.

YELLOW SUBMARINE/ELEANOR RIGBY CAPITOL 5715 

DISC: Terrific all around. Just a small written number on the A-side.

SLEEVE: Some numbers by the catalog number on both sides, and minor ringwear.

YESTERDAY/ACT NATURALLY CAPITOL 5498 

DISC: Amazing sound after all these years, and a Near Mint label to go with it!

SLEEVE: With the small price sticker on the B-side still on, it looks like you just came home from Lincoln Drug with it—it’s that good!
