Extraordinary very rare copy, undocumented in any of the published issues about the Beatles, a Mono copy of “Meet the Beatles!” with the hybrid transitional label variation, containing 2 BMI publishing credits. It's considered traditionally that the 1st West Coast issue, pressed in early February, 1964, contains 1 BMI credit on the labels. However, we're sure that this undocumented copy of Meet the Beatles! with 2 BMI credits was pressed approximately at the same time as it contains a five pointed "Star Symbol" stamped in the trail-off vinyl, which, according to the information by Capitol Records, could be found only on the copies, pressed in 1964, and which was changed to a six pointed star circa early 1965. Only a few times, we've encountered a copy with the hybrid label, containing 2 BMI publishing credits. It won't be hard for you to find an Ad Back copy of Introducing the Beatles or Yesterday and…Today Butcher Cover, but I'm afraid, this copy of Meet the Beatles is incomparably rarer and is impossible to find. Original thick cardboard single type paste over cover with the 1st West Coast greenish "Beatles" banner in the original factory shrink wrap, containing two breathe holes on each side of the cover. The 1st version cover without the 'George Martin, Producer' credit. Very early 1st press with the RIAA 6 Identification Number on the back cover, identifying it as a Capitol Records, Los Angeles, Hollywood Pressing Plant issue. Original Capitol Records T-2047 Mono catalog number black transitional hybrid label, containing 2 BMI publishing credits on the first two tracks of Side 1: "I Want To Hold Your Hand (BMI-2:24)" and "I Saw You Standing There (BMI-2:50)", with a multicolored spectrum ("Rainbow") band along the label's edge without the "subsidiary" print. Very early 1st US Mono issue thick glossy vinyl pressing with the stamped 1st matrix numbers in the trail-off vinyl: Side 1: T-1-2047-G8 4 Five Pointed Star Symbol 2 / Side 2: T-2-2047-F7 1 Five Pointed Star Symbol. The five pointed "Star Symbol" stamp identifies the issue as an early Capitol Records, Los Angeles, Hollywood plant pressing. The issue comes with an original Capitol Records very early 1st print royal blue "LA 12TC-1" inner sleeve ("LA" for West Coast), containing the other Capitol Records releases.
CONDITION:
COVER: NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) Very clean cover with some very light creasing at the top and bottom left corner, which is probably not even worth mentioning.
VINYL: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) The glossy vinyl contains some light surface hairlines, marks and scuffs from the inner sleeve, none of which can be felt with a finger nail.
CAPITOL RECORDS ROYAL BLUE INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT (EX)
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS! USPS can no longer accept or deliver international mail temporary to several countries due to the service impacts. Please check whether your country is on the list of temporary service and guaranteed-delivery suspensions. Additionally, please take into consideration that the disruption of air mail schedule causes significant delays, which affect the expected delivery date declared by eBay and USPS. From our side, we guarantee the prompt shipping of the item within 24 hours after receiving payment.
Please pay attention that we DON'T ship to Russia and Germany. No exceptions. We'll immediately cancel the transaction if our policy conditions are violated. Sorry about that.
POLICY:
Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid.
