                         HELLO DEAR BEATLES COLLECTERS. WHAT IS BEFORE YOU IS THE MONO MEET THE BEATLES FIRST PRESSING WITHOUT PUBLISHING CREDITS ON LABLE . THIS COPY IS THE VERY VERY RARE FIRST WEEK PRESSING WHEN CAPITAL WAS IN A BIG HURRY TO GET THESE OUT THE DOOR AND PRINTING EDITORS LEFT OUT THE IMPORTANT SONG PUBLISHING CREDITS. vERY FEW OF THESE WERE PRINTED FOR THE MISTAKE WAS FOUND EARLY AND SUBSEQUENT ISSSUES HAD THE CORRECT LABLES PRINTED. THIS IS KNOW AS LABLE VARIANT ONE , AND THERE WOULD BE 3 MORE AFTER THIS UNTIL THE CORRECT LABLE WAS FINIALLY MADE.  THIS PRESSING WITHOUT THE PUBLISHING CREDITS COULD ONLY BE FOUND ON THE EAST COAST PRESSING PLANT IN SCRANTON PA, FACTORY # 3. ALL THE OTHER FACTORYS PUT THE CREDITS ON THE LABLE IN VARYING FORMS.  THIS ALBUM IS VERY VERY RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.  THE CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM IS AS FOLLOWS:  THE COVER IS STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WITH THE FACTORY BREATH HOLES PRESENT, THE SHRINK DID A GREAT JOB AT PROTECTING THIS VALUABLE PEICE OVER ITS 41 YEAR HISTORY.  IT'S BY NO MEANS IN MINT CONDITION BUT I RATE THIS COVER VG+. THE SHRINK STILL COVERS 98% OF THE COVER, AND THERE IS NO WEAR UNDER THE SHRINK. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE SCANS IS ON THE SHRINK NOT THE COVER. THERE ARE TEARS IN THE SHRINK IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS AS SEEN IN SCANS, 1ST TEAR IS LOCATED TOP LEFT CORNER AND IS LESS THAN A 1/2 AN INCH, AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AT THAT LOCATION. THE SPINE ABOVE THE SPINE PRINT MEET THE BEATLES IS MISSING  LESS THAN A 1/2 INCH OF PAPER.  THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER HAS ABOUT AN INCH OF SHRINK MISSING ONLY FROM THE FRONT THE BACK IS STILL COVERED IN THAT AREA, THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT PUSH IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER AS SEEN IN SCAN STILL WHITE IN COLOR ALSO AS IS TOP LEFT. THE BOTTOM SPINE HAS ABOUT  A  LESS THAN A 1/4 INCH OF FLAKING BELOW THE 2047. THE REST OF THE CONERS ARE NOT DOG EARED, BUT HAVE EVER SO SLIGHT ROUNDING. THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM COVER IS STILL SNOW WHITE WITHOUT YELLOWING OF THE COVER.   ON BACK COVER THE SHRINK IS TORN NEAR THE MOUTH ON THE TOP LEFT AND ABOUT 2"  AND THERE IS NO YELLOWING IN THAT AREA OR WEAR.  THERE IS ALSO A VERY TINY TEAR ABOVE THE PRINT NEWSWEEK AND SHOWS NO WEAR. THE BACK COVER IS BEAUTIFUL AND WHITE. IT HAS THE # 3 NEXT TO THE RIAA SYMBAL & NO GEORGE MARTIN CREDIT. IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL DARK BLUE INNER SLEEVE WICH I GRADE AT VG+ NO WRINKLES AND 2 SMALL SEAM SPLITS. THE ALBUM ITS SELF IS VG+ THE LABLES SHOW NO  WEAR AND THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT PRINTING AS SHOWN ON SCAN LABLE SIDE 2  IN PEN AND IS VERY THIN  G.F AND IN MARKER  BLOT F. THE RECORD RATES VG+ WITH ONLY MINIMAL HAIRLINE SCRATCHES  AND THE LABLE ON SIDE 1 IS MINT. THIS ALBUM WAS DEFINETLY TAKEN CARE OF AND LOVED. TRAIL OFF AREA OF SIDE 1 HAS THE NUMBER T 1- 2047-F1 #3.  SIDE 2 HAS T 2-2047-G4 . I HAVE SEEN THESE ALBUMS SELL ON EBAY FOR $300 OR MORE IN THIS CONDITION, AND IF YOU GO TO THE WEB SITE WWW.FAB4COLLECTIBLES.COM HE HAS A FEW FOR SALE BETWEEN $475-$1000 DOLLARS AND GETS THOSE PRICES. MY COPY FALLS IN BETWEEN THOSE 2 ALBUMS AS FAR AS CONDITION AND IS AVAILIBLE WITHOUT A RESERVE.

                                        THIS AUCTION WILL NOT HAVE A  RESERVE HELD ON IT, THE RARITY AND HIGH COLLECTABILITY OF THIS ITEM WILL DICTATE IS FINAL PRICE. BUT REMEBER HOW RARE AND COLLECTABLE FIRST PRESSINGS OF MEET THE BEATLES ARE SO BID FREELY AND KNOW YOU WILL BE ADDING A VERY RARE AND DESIARBLE ALBUM TO YOUR COLLECTION.
