Hello and Welcome. Beginning in the 1960s, I made it my goal to collect every 5-star record still available, and I continued my search for 40 years. While not all the records I list for sale reached that lofty goal, they do represent an undying search for the unique and wonderful in the world of sound. I'm happy to be able to offer them to you now. Here is what you're bidding on: 
TITLE/ARTIST: "Meet the Beatles" by The Beatles on the Capitol Records label (ST 2047) in original Stereo sound, released in 1964. 
CONDITION OF VINYL: Near Mint(Vinyl glows with only a couple of very light scuffs - visually graded using special spotlight). CONDITION OF JACKET: EX(Original jacket has MY initials - JLM - printed on back in marker; light edge/corner/rub/ring wear; BROWN name on cover - please see actual item in photos). 
SPECIAL FEATURES: Rare copy of the Capitol-released "Meet the Beatles" Stereo record, featuring the earliest Beatles songs on their American debut album. Record is in Near Mint condition. SPECIAL NOTE: This version is an early press variation, which gives publishing credits to BMI for every song except 'Don't Bother Me' and 'Till There Was You'. EXTRA: The initials on the back cover (JLM) are mine, as I bought this record NEW in 1964. This is a spectacular Beatles album.
