Description

RARE East Coast (Scranton) pressing of Four By The Beatles EP - Capitol EAP 1-2121

Matrix runouts: F1-2121-F3#2
F2-2121-G4#2

One of only two EPs ever released in the USA by Capitol Records, this is the first and was issued on May 11, 1964. One more EP was released by Capitol but the EP format wasn't a hit with US record-buyers so no more were ever released and not many were sold. This is a treasure and a necessity for any serious Beatles collector to own!

Cardboard sleeve is G+ to VG- : corners are pretty dog eared and several pinholes on corners as well. Small tear/crease on opening and a small area of discoloration on back. Bottom seam is split and 2" split along top. (See photos) Most copies I have ever seen are near this condition. These are quite rare and seem to have been well loved!

Vinyl is VG : many hairlines and a few larger scratches/scuffs none of which look audible. You may request a playcheck as I am in the process of hooking up my turntable again but I wouldn't anticipate any serious playback issues with a disc like this.

Labels are VG+ : blue labels with artist credits aligned to the left which signifies a Scranton pressing. Small area of bubbling on one side and some scuffing around spindle hole. No writing or other marks.

Please check photos carefully and don't hesitate to ask any questions! I strive for 100% feedback so I have tried to fairly and accurately describe all flaws.

Shipping is $4.00 Media Mail in the U.S. or $5.95 for Priority Mail. Please tell me before paying if you would prefer Priority. This item will be well packed with extra care. Thanks for looking and be sure check out my other listings!
