Collector's Note
Discogs Release Code: [r10861277]
An iconic album in excellent condition with all inserts and unique misprints, a valuable addition to any Beatles collection.
Los Angeles pressing. Labels have the corrected titles to the songs "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill", "Revolution 1", "Revolution 9". First pressings listed the tracks as "Bungalow Bill, Revolution No. 1, Revolution No. 9."
The cover has an embossed title and a stamped number with the prefix “A” with an interceding space. "SWBO 101" on inside lower left of gatefold and "Stereo" on upper right rear of cover.
With fold-out poster containing band member photos (e.g., Ringo dancing with Elizabeth Taylor) on one side and lyrics on reverse.
Note: Some copies may have the gatefold's interior slick pasted upside down or inverted 180° relative to the exterior.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
I wanted to point out a small error in our listing. It was automatically listed as a 'First Pressing' in the Item Specifics by eBay, but it's actually a 2nd Pressing from 1968, as mentioned in the item description.
