A beautiful factory-sealed Mono first pressing of Beatles VI, on Capitol Records.  This is the earliest pressing, with "See label for correct playing order" on the back cover, and the number 3 printed on the back corner, indicating this was printed in Scranton, PA.

The fully intact shrink wrap has two 'breath holes' on the front, and one on the back (visible in the red circles in the photos).  The front shrink has a price tag from the regional department store chain Sterns, which operated in the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania area.  The cover is in Near Mint condition, with square corners and two barely noticeable light creases to the front cover slick, to the left of Paul's shoulder, from the fabrication process.

A beautiful sealed copy of a desirable Beatles album.  With Recordmecca's written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.  [Note: Recently there has been a proliferation of fake sealed 60's albums on Ebay, many with fake stickers or price tags. We have written about this on the Recordmecca blog; we recommend googling it.  When buying a rare sealed album, insist on a written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.]

We will ship free by Fedex in the US, however international shipping will be more expensive than usual, because of the value of this rarity and the current health crisis).

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
