The Beatles Story - 2-LP Set

Label:  Apple / Capitol Records

Catalog # STBO 2222

Release Year:   Early 1970's

Country:   United States

The Beatles' Story is the sixth album by the English rock band the Beatles in the United States, issued on 23 November 1964 by Capitol Records. It is a documentary double album featuring interviews, press conferences, and snippets of original or orchestral versions of Beatles songs, with voice-over narration. The album's original liner notes described it as a "narrative and musical biography" of Beatlemania.

Original Owner was in the retail record business in the 1970's-80's and received this album as a promotional copy. It is still sealed in the manufacturer's shrink wrap.  The vinyl discs could not be inspected so they are assumed to be in Near Mint condition.  Because the 2-LP set is factory sealed, I could not inspect the vinyl albums, the labels, or the matrix numbers/symbols/letters in the runout.  Information such as the pressing plant and pressing date were not identified.  Seller attests that this record came from the Capitol Records Los Angeles warehouse inventory in the early 1970's, circa 1973-1975.  Covers from that time period had minimal release information.  If a release date is not noted on the cover, the Seller has used the original release date and any subsequent release dates (prior to acquisition) for this listing.  There is no cover number by the RIAA logo.  

The gatefold cover has a punch hole in the upper right corner so it is given a VG+ condition rating.  Grading is conservative.

Around 1974-75, I acquired a full set of Beatles albums as a gift from Capitol Records.  These records had holes punched in the upper right corner when they left the warehouse, which was done to ensure they could not be sold, or returned to Capitol for credit.  I also acquired other Beatles albums as they were released, including solo releases after the Beatles broke up.  Most of these records are in excellent condition and have never (or seldom) been played.  All have their original covers/sleeves/inserts, etc.  My collection of 40 Beatles albums are now being sold individually on Ebay.
