Beatles ALL WEST COAST LOT! 6 picture sleeves, 3 45s. A RARE AND AWESOME BUNDLE!

You know that Beatles West Coast (thumb tab) picture sleeves are more rare and valuable than the common East Coast straight cut sleeves. And if you find a West Coast 45 to go with it, you’ve really scored!

Here are SIX Beatles West Coast Sleeves and a trio of West Coast 45s!

PENNY LANE /

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

(Capitol 5810)

This extremely rare issue—a WEST COAST PENNY LANE—is pretty much worth the total cost of the package.

Structurally it’s in great shape, with no seam splits, no tears, no staples, no labels. There’s a name and date on both sides, but the light green ink blends well into the white border.

HELLO GOODBYE/I AM THE WALRUS

(Capitol 2056)

A strong sleeve, with only minor ringwear.

The W.C. 45 plays real well, with typical label wear.

NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EARLY PRESSING, with Maclen Music credited on both sides. Later pressings changed the “Walrus” publisher to Comet Music Corporation.

YESTERDAY / ACT NATURALLY

(Capitol 5498)

No tears or splits, but somewhat “schmutzy” with age. A small date of purchase is written on the B-Side.

The West Coast 45 looks and sounds fabulous, and will make a great complement to the West Coast sleeve.

I FEEL FINE / SHE’S A WOMAN

(Capitol 5964)

A remarkable sleeve with no ringwear! The A side is perfect, but the flip side has two scratches.

The 45 plays without issues, with age-appropriate label wear and small writing both sides.

WE CAN WORK IT OUT /

DAY TRIPPER

(Capitol 5555)

The Beatles’ first double-A-Side release, this sleeve shows normal wear, along with a small name on each side.  

YELLOW SUBMARINE /

ELEANOR RIGBY

(Capitol 5715)

No owner marks, no labels or residue, and the seams are intact. Due to its dark background, ringwear is almost impossible to avoid. 

PLEASE NOTE: All net proceeds from this sale will be placed in a Special Needs Trust Fund for my son, who suffers from a Traumatic Brain Injury as a result of being hit by a motor vehicle. Your bid is appreciated. However, it is not a charity and there are no tax benefits. 

Beatles records are fragile and more than a half-century old. Each has been play-tested once on a newer Sony turntable used only for that purpose. They are being described here in complete, honest and accurate detail, and are sold “as is.” I cannot be responsible for different results due to the buyer’s own equipment. Your satisfaction, along with my 100% Feedback, are very important.

This item will be packed securely, with records in paper sleeves. Once payment is transferred from eBay to my bank account, it will be shipped to USA only! Combined shipping is available. 

Payment must be submitted within 3 days of closing, or buyer forfeits all rights to purchase.
