***MEET THE BEATLES 1964 ST-2047 STEREO***

**ULTRA-RARE WEST COAST FIRST PRESSING - RIAA #6**
*STILL IN THE ORIGINAL IN-STORE BAGGIE*
COVER: Near Mint+ This is the WEST COAST FIRST PRESSING RIAA #6 on the back cover. The cover is still in the ORIGINAL RECORD STORE BAGGIE! The pictures do not do this justice!!! While many record stores displayed the album without protection, some retailers placed the jackets in loose poly bags. Being offered here is an example of how some of the first pressings were packaged by independent department stores. The cover itself is in Near Mint condition, with bright, bold colors! The store baggie likely kept it in great shape for the last 50+ years. The baggie nice and tight around the cover. I lifted the baggie to see the cover and it's PHENOMENAL!!! The only thing keeping this cover from being a MINT example is some creasing near the top of the spine which can be seen on the back. You can't even see this unless you're looking for it. It probably occurred when a previous owner attempted to remove the baggie. This is the only notable flaw. Other than that, this cover is basically flawless!!! Again, the baggie likely kept the cover in phenomenal shape since 1964. Most likely, any flaw you see in the photos is to the baggie...not the cover itself! This is an extremely rare West Coast FIRST pressing! The original cover is the MEGA-RARE Stereo West Coast #6, with the "Stereo Needle Damage" info at the bottom of the back cover. 
VINYL: Near Mint This is the second label variation with one "BMI" credit. VERY SCARCE! And in terms of condition, this is a beautiful NEAR MINT example!!! The vinyl has a ton of luster! When i look at it under a bright light, i can see some light marks. But that's to be expected for an album over 50 years old! The labels are super clean with no writing! Play tested all the way through - excellent sound quality! The fact that the first label variation of this LP was only produced on the East Coast (Scranton), the second label (one "BMI") produced on the west coast is therefore the very first pressing of this LP. I've been collecting Beatles albums for the last 30 years and this particular pressing is one of the rarest albums in existence! In fact, it wasn't listed in Bruce Spizer's first Beatles record price guide due to the fact he wasn't sure it even existed! I'm hesitant to put it up for sale because i'll likely never see one like this again! This is an INVESTMENT QUALITY album in terms of condition and rarity, so i can't let it go cheap. When it comes to condition, i am accurate and honest. Please view my feedback to read comments from satisfied customers!
