Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

Original 1963 ((MONO)) RAINBOW Capitol *VINYL*
Scarce West Coast Production with green lettering (as opposed to the normal brown lettering)
THE BEATLES
MEET THE BEATLES
\ USA - Rainbow Capitol - ST 2407 - STEREO
Original 1963 first pressing on the highly collected rainbow Capitol label ... includes the original blue Capitol Records inner sleeve to the pressing!
***Scarce West Coast Production with green "BEATLES" lettering (as opposed to the normal brown lettering)
The mono release contains different song mixes from the stereo issue and also provides the deep bold punch in the sound production, vastly different from the stereo issue.
For Americans in the full grip of Beatlemania, this was the first album they could buy. , Meet took the Fabs' second British record, With the Beatles, dropped five covers and added three tracks, including the singles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "I Saw Her Standing There." (This arguably made for a much better record.) Although a great number of songs in the Lennon-McCartney catalog aren't collaborations, the two wrote "I Want to Hold Your Hand" together on a piano in the basement of Jane Asher, Paul McCartney's actress girlfriend -- as John Lennon put it, "eyeball to eyeball." All together, "MEET THE BEATLE" represents a timeless reflection to innocent times in the sixties with two full sides of memorable charming Beatles Invasion tunes....
