This listing is for a vintage used vinyl LP of the second album by The Beatles called Beatlemania! With The Beatles.


This is an original Canadian Mono first pressing of the album that's also known as "With The Beatles" in the UK and "Meet The Beatles!" in the USA.


It was released in November of 1963 in Canada by Capitol Records with catalog # T-6051.


It's listed as being part of the "6000" Series and has the Rainbow style center labels.


This copy can be identified as a true first pressing and not a repress from later in the mid 60s because the bottom rim text on the center label reads "Mfd. In Canada by Capitol Records of Canada..." without brackets or parentheses around "Canada" and that text is white instead of in color. And it also has T 6051 on top right corner of front cover of the jacket, which many of the represses do not have. Plus there is also different runout info from later versions.


Record Condition:


Signs of visible surface wear are clearly present in the way of various light, but non-feelable hairline scratches and  scuff marks.


Surface noise is present at times.


There's also some light dust/dirt and a few finger print smudges. So a thorough cleaning would remove that and probably brighten the sound even more.


Industry Grade: VG or VG-.


Jacket Condition:


Signs of shelf wear and age present on edges, spine, and corners.


Some minor ring wear and some of various blemishes are present on the front cover.


No seam splits.


Inner Sleeve: Original paper inner sleeve is NOT included (but it will ship in a modern replacement inner sleeve).


Industry Grade: VG.


Please see the various images on this listing for further details on the condition of the record and jacket.
