THE BEATLES 1962-1966 (Apple SKBO 3403, orig) SEALED No Cuts/No Barcode Hype Stk

Here is the double LP "The Beatles 1962-1966" by The Beatles, Apple SKBO 3403, stereo, originally released in 1973.  This is a sealed vintage copy (not a modern repress on 180g), most likely a first or very early pressing.  The original press is the only edition to have all of the following:

- Hype sticker on back.

- SKBO 3403 catalog number, with green apple logo on back.

Will be listing a cache of vintage sealed vinyl, including nearly the entire Beatles US catalog, some Pink Floyd, and other monumental albums from 60's and 70's, check them out, save on shipping!

Vinyl is NM/NM - New, unplayed.

Sleeve is NM-/NM- - Still sealed (2 breathe holes on front), price sticker on front (top right).  Bottom right corner of hype sticker is torn off (it would have extended past the right side, may have been cut or ripped at factory when sealing).  

Minor wear to corners.  All except bottom right have tiny breaks in shrink with very subtle wear (still fairly sharp).

Beautiful example of a sealed vintage copy!  Was part of a collection that was purchased new in the late-60's to mid-70's, stored vertically in a temperature controlled environment and away from sunlight.    

Note: Returns are only accepted with vintage sealed items if the record has not been opened.  Even a small tear to the original wrap will alter the value considerably, thus voiding eligiblity for returns.  Please take a close look at images, read entire description, and ask all questions before bidding.  Priority mail and insurance is encouraged for vintage sealed items, price calculated after purchase.  Thanks!

As a collector, I try to provide as much information and a description of each record’s condition as possible.  Unless a sound sample is posted (always of the record you are bidding on), records are graded visually.  My grading system is as follows:

M – Mint – Unopened or just opened.  I very rarely use this grade, I reserve it for the most pristine copies.

NM (+&-) – Near Mint – Record has been treated with care.  Free of notable scratches or abrasions.  Label is generally in great condition.   

VG++ (or EX) – Very Good ++ - May have a couple light surface scratches or scuffs, but is very listenable and should not disturb play.  Label may have slight wear, writing or marks.

VG (+&-) – Very Good – May have more than a few light scratches or a couple heavier scratches or scuffs.  May play with some crackling, but not enough to overpower the music.  Sleeve may have a seam split, ring wear, writing, etc.

G (+&-)– Good – Record may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s).  May have significant crackling that may overpower the music, but still listenable.  Label may be torn.

F (+&-) – Fair – Record has significant damage.
