PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


WILDLY RARE original T-2576 first American pressing from August 8, 1966 in MONO with the letters IAM inside a triangle stamped in the dead wax (denoting the Capitol Records pressing plant in Scranton, PA), small pressing ring around the center hole, NO "subsidiary" in the lower label rim text, Lennon-McCartney credits on the labels (second pressings used their full names) and original bright orange Capitol printed inner sleeve!!!  LP is a nice VG with a few light paper scuffs.  Cover has barely a hint of wear at the opening and is still in the original shrink wrap(!).  Even has the original Montgomery Ward's price code sticker in the top right hand corner at the top!  Incredibly hard to find a first pressing in the original shrink so don't sleep Fab collectors.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
