The Beatles 65'
Here's a stunning first Stereo pressing of the Beatles 65' in archive quality condition with no creases or corner damage. No splits to the outer wrap with breathe holes and price sticker listed as 2.88! Bright vibrant color and a snow-white rear. All edges are straight and smoothe with no age "alligatoring" often seen on many 60's lp covers.
Original Blue inner sleeve is visible at the center of the opening. Shortly into the run of this title, Capitol changed the inner-sleeve to the Orange, making this a bonified first issue from December 1964. The Stereo needle damage statement on the lower rear also indicates early pressing. No cut out markings or punch holes, and the borders are clean white. The paste down slick is centered as well as the spine description.
Riaa#5 near the center of the rear, indicates a West coast pressing.
Original Stereo copies of this title are highly collectible, and rarer than the Mono version.
You won't find a nicer copy of this title anywhere, and it's Factory Sealed!
