The BEATLES STORY
BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER *RARE* STILL FACTORY SEALED 1st STEREO PRESSING THE BEATLES "STORY" DOUBLE GATEFOLD ALBUM FROM 1964! VERY LIMITED NUMBERS WERE PRESSED, AND SALES WERE LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE, SO BY 65` SOME OF THESE WERE BEING SENT TO CUT- OUT BINS WITH PUNCH HOLES! 99.5% OF THIS TITLE SHOW MAJOR RINGWEAR EVIDENT PARTICULARILY AT BOTTOM OF FRONT COVER IN THE RED SOLID PRINT OF BRITISH FLAG. THE ONLY WAY TO FIND A COPY NOWDAYS WITH NO RINGWEAR, IS IF THE COPY HAS REMAINED SEALED, OR HAS BEEN IN SHRINKWRAP AND STORED METICULOUSLY FOR THE LAST 53 YEARS! THIS IS PROBABLY THE RAREST TITLE IN THE BEATLE CATALOG OF US PRESSED ALBUMS TO FIND STILL SEALED OR MINT TO NEAR MINT CONDITION! THICK CARDBOARD CONSTRUCTION WITH 2 HEAVY VINYL DISCS MAKE THIS ONE VERY PRONE TO SHOWING BLACK RECORD RING, OR INK LOSS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE FRONT COVER.
PRIOR TO CREATING THIS LISTING, I LOOKED THROUGH SEVERAL HUNDRED COPIES ON EBAY, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS THE RING OR INK LOSS, EVEN LATER 70'S PRESSINGS WITHOUT THE "FILE UNDER" TEXT AT THE TOP OF THE COVER!
THE EARLY 60'S (CIRCA 64`) CAPITOL BLUE INNERSLEEVES ARE VISIBLE AT OPENING OR "MOUTH" WHERE DISCS ARE REMOVED FROM COVER. ALL EDGES, SPINE, AND OPENING ARE SMOOTHE ARE STRAIGHT AS NEW WITH NO CORNER KNOCKS. THE COLOUR GRAPHICS ARE SHARP AND CLEAN WITH BRIGHT WHITE REAR. WIDE SPINE WITH CAPITOL DOME LOGO PRETTY WELL CENTERED. NO SHRINKWRAP TEARS WITH STEREO PHONOGRAPH STICKER ATTACHED TO FRONT COVER (THESE WERE SOMETIMES SEEN AND PLACED ON EARLY TO MID- 60`S STEREO RECORD ALBUMS DURING THE MONO ERA)
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN MANY YEARS STILL SEALED IN STEREO, ITS A BONIFIED FIRST PRESSING (ACTUALLY RARER THAN THE MONO PRESSINGS!) NEVER OPENED OR PLAYED AND WILL HAVE THE BLACK LABEL WITH MULTICOLORED SPECTRUM PERIMETER INSIDE WITHOUT SUBSIDIARY PRINT (THOSE LABELS WERE ISSUED IN 68` WITH PLAIN WHITE INNERSLEEVES, NOT THE COLORED CAPITOL SLEEVES!)
DON'T BE OUTBID ON THIS ONE! ORIGINAL STEREO'S OF THIS TITLE VERY SELDOM SHOW UP FOR SALE, AND YOU'LL NEVER FIND ONE AT A USED RECORD STORE BIN OR GARAGE SALE!
CHECK OUT THE PICTURES, AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
