Description
ATTENTION THE BEATLES,1960s BRITISH BEAT GROUPS AND CLASSIC ALBUM COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO USA ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL BEATLES ALBUM "MEET THE BEATLES"-TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO ANY UK BEATLES LP! INCLUDES 9 TRACKS FROM THE FIRST TWO UK LPs+3 TRACKS THAT WERE ISSUED ON SINGLES AND AS SUCH IS AN ESSENTIAL LP FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTOR TO OWN. ISSUED ON THE CAPITOL "RAINBOW" RIM LABELS: T-2047. MONO EDITION. THERE IS THE "FILE UNDER:THE BEATLES:POP ROCK/VOCAL GROUP" AT THE TOP OF THE COVER AS WELL AS THE "ALSO AVAILABLE IN STEREO" AT THE BACK OF THE COVER WHICH DID NOT APPEAR ON LATER REPRESSES FROM THE LATE 1960s ONWARDS WHEN IT WAS STEREO ONLY IN THE USA FOR BEATLES REPRESSES. THE LABEL DESIGN ALSO CHANGED! THIS COPY IS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND PLAYS SUPERB WITH LOTS OF BASS! REMEMBER JUST HOW VITAL AND LOVED THIS ALBUM WAS TO AMERICAN BUYERS WITH THE MAJORITY OF COPIES PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR AS WELL AS THE COVERS BEING BADLY DAMAGED. THIS COPY IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS! IT HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH SOME VERY LIGHT,FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS AND SOME VERY SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE MAINLY HEARD IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS OR A COUPLE OF THE FADE OUTS BUT APART FROM A FEW ISOLATED "POPS" THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICELY INDEED! NOT BASHED AND TRASHED! NONE OF THE USUAL "GOOD FOR IT'S AGE" STATEMENTS HERE!
THE MONO MIXES HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE STEREO EDITIONS. VERY STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT MOST WOULD STATE AT LEAST EXCELLENT! THE SOUND IS SUPERB AND VERY CLEAR INDEED! THICK VINYL. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR BUT VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR FADING. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL PLAIN PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS NO WRITING,RIPS,SPLITS OR REPAIRS-JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES.
THE COVER HAS A LITTLE MILD STAINING AT THE FRONT TOP EDGE BUT THE MAJORITY IS REFRESHINGLY CLEAN UNLIKE MOST AMERICAN COVERS OF THIS TIME! THERE IS NO SPLITS,WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE SPINE IS EASY TO READ! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AS WELL AS THE SPINE AND VARIOUS AREAS OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS!
A LOW,REALISTIC £25 PRICE.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
