This is a 1964 U.S. CAPITOL RECORDS MONO PRESSING OF THE 1964 LP titled 'Meet The Beatles'.  It is Capitol Records U.S. catalog number T 2047, black labels with rainbow borders, with its original blue Capitol Records stock inner sleeve showing pictures of other then-current Capitol Records LP releases.  

I know that there are apparently many print and pressing variations of this LP - I personally feel that assigning different high collectable values to different variations with minute print or pressing differences with an LP that is this common is a lot of hogwash, but since there are those out there who feel differently, here are the details that may be relevant for some buyers:  

Number to the left of the RIAA logo at the bottom right corner of the back cover is 2 

I believe this is what is known as a 'Decca pressing', with deep groove toward the outside of the labels

Matrix numbers are hand etched - Side A is T1-2047-P13; Side B is T2-2047-T15

Please see my label scans for label print details

Please e-mail me for other information.

Condition of record is a real nice EX with just a couple of visible surface marks which cannot be felt and will not affect play.  There are some very tiny bumps in the play surface which are a very slight pressing defect and which will also have absolutely no effect on play.  Condition of cover is a high VG+ with a red rubber stamp showing the address of a previous owner near the top of the back cover, a small amount of ring and contact wear, and some wear and a little flaking along the edges and on the corners.  Cover has no water damage, splits, tears, or stickers.  Capitol Records stock inner sleeve is in real nice crisp condition with no splits or tears.  This LP would be a nice addition to any Beatles or rock-n-roll record collection!  Media mail postage within the U.S. is $4.00.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (17.50) AND GERMANY is $22.00 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
