Description
NO DOUBT THESE EARLY, FIRST LABEL COPIES WITHOUT THE PUBLISHING CREDITS "BMI" OR "ASCAP" ON THE LABELS, WERE SWEPT OFF THE SHELVES DURING THE THE ONSLAUGHT OF BEATLEMANIA AND MOST HAVE BEEN PLAYED BEYOND RECOGNITION AND TOSSED OUT. TODAY, ONLY ABOUT 20 TO 25 EXAMPLES HAVE BEEN VERIFIED SO FAR TO SURVIVE, AND MOST OF THOSE COPIES ARE IN VG OR LESS CONDITION. THIS MONO EXAMPLE IS A VERY HIGH GRADE EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY HISTORIC ALBUM.
ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT KNOWN EXACTLY WHEN CAPITOL BEGAN SHRINK WRAPPING ITS ALBUMS, FOR THE MAJORITY OF THESE FIRST LABEL ISSUES HAVE SURFACED IN EITHER A DISTRIBUTOR LEVEL "IN-STORE BAGGY WRAP" OR NONE AT ALL. OBVIOUSLY, THIS STUNNING EXAMPLE EMERGED FROM THE CAPITOL FACTORY (SEALED AT ONE TIME, OF COURSE) IN IT'S ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP.
THE COVER (VERY FIRST MONO COVER WHICH DOES NOT HAVE "PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN" CREDIT PRINT (CAP2047.MC1A, SPIZER) IS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS AND A TRUE NEAR MINT. PEERING UNDER THE SHRINKWRAP, THE COVER LOOKS AS THOUGH IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY YESTERDAY! WHITE BORDERS ARE "SNOW" WHITE. BACK COVER IS AMAZING! ONLY MINOR IMPERFECTION IS A 4" SHRINKWRAP SEAM SEPARATION ON THE TOP EDGE. COVER IS NOT AFFECTED IN ANY MANNER IN THAT AREA.
RECORD IS A GORGEOUS NEAR MINT WITH TREMENDOUS SHEEN TO THE GROOVES AND THE ORIGINAL LUSTER IS VERY MUCH INTACT. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF OVER THE YEARS. SOME VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL INNER SLEEVE "WHISPS" ARE BARELY VISIBLE, THAT DO NOT AFFECT VISUAL INTEGRITY OR BEAUTY OF THE VINYL. THE VERY IMPORTANT FIRST ISSUE LABELS ALSO GRADE A STUNNING NEAR MINT.
WITH ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE ROYAL BLUE INNER SLEEVE.
This record is valued at $1,850.00.
