NICE ORIGINAL COPY OF MEET THE BEATLES! WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND A NICE JACKET, PLAYABLE LP.
This is an original Scranton Mono Press with these matrices:
Matrix / Runout (Runout stamped, side A, version 13): T-1-2047-G2 ” #2 [IAM logo] Matrix / Runout (Runout stamped, side B, version 13): T2-2047-F1 #2 [IAM logo]
The jacket is the highlight of this listing.  It does have an address label on front.  I assume there are ways to carefully remove it including residue underneath, and if done, I would grade the jacket in EXCELLENT CONDITION.  There is very light corner and edge wear, no rings or splits, a faint ink smudge near the RIAA on back jacket which is the only marking, and no age-toning of white spaces - it is a clean clear white.  There is a "2" near the RIAA on back jacket.  The blue original inner sleeve has a split bottom center about 3" and a second one on one side center about 2".  There is another address label on Side 1 of the record, again possibly removed with little evidence it was there.  This is the 3rd label variation: Side A credits the first two tracks to BMI with the remaining cuts to ASCAP. Side B credits all songs to ASCAP, except for track 5 "I Wanna Be Your Man" which is credited to BMI.  The record has a clean underlay of vinyl, but also a good number of very light scratches and scuffs.  I will visually grade it in the range of VG to VG+.
