Welcome, you are bidding on...
The BEATLES "Meet The Beatles" STEREO ST-2047, Capitol Rainbow Label: 2 ASCAP (Side-2, Track-1 & 3), the rest all BMI credits, West Coast Pressing RIAA #6.
They say a picture is worth one thousand words...but some pictures don't tell the whole story, so please read my item description & condition below as well as my terms of sale.
ITEM DESCRIPTION & CONDITION: The BEATLES first LP release in the USA on Capitol Records "Meet The Beatles" this copy is a 4th press from March 15, 1966 (1 of 6 known variations) referred to by Bruce Spizer as WEST COAST STEREO [CAP 2047.SC2B/CAP 2047.SR4B] described as follows:
1) The vinyl disc ST-2047 is, as mentioned above, a West Coast STEREO copy from the 4th pressing in 1966. The Capitol Rainbow label contains only two (2) ASCAP credits (side-2, tracks 1 and 3) while all remaining credits are BMI. The vinyl looks pretty bad having several scratches and quite-a-few scuff marks. Only a couple on side 1 (A) but significantly more on side 2 (B). I have no way of play testing so I can’t comment on whether-or-not play quality is affected by the wear. The labels are in pretty good shape having a couple wear marks around the spindle hole and the bottom portion of the colorband of side 2...see photos.
2) The protective inner sleeve is a west coast copy numbered PE 12-2AS. It is the Orange (Rust) colored version, having a 'curved' top opening. The condition is excellent except for one little fold-over in the upper seam near the opening...not pictured.
3) The Album Cover/Jacket is an RIAA #6 (West Coast) copy with the George Martin 'producer' credit on back and the Olive Green colored title on the front. The album cover is definitely the best part of this item, beautiful vivid colors, absolutely no ring wear to speak of, no writing or markings of any kind and the front slick is extremely well centered. Only a couple week spots being the slightly bumped corners, slight yellowing along the opening on the back cover and a stain in the same area...see photos and judge the condition for yourself.
