Cover: VG++ Vinyl: VG++
Label: Capitol LP 2047 Mono   Year: 1964
"Beatles" in green on cover. No producer credit on back. Unique as most No Producer covers have tan/brown title, not green. Original inner sleeve. Minor cover edge wear, no splits, creases, or ring wear. Slight scuffing on 2 corners. Ink on top of back cover and minor age spots as seen in photos
Colorband on black label. Label has ASCAP after all songs EXCEPT "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "I Saw Her Standing There" which are followed by BMI. Unique as usually only IWTHYH is the only BMI listed song. Vinyl is clean and shiny with minor scuffing and play wear. Ink on label.
This is in pretty darn good shape excepting the name written on the back and label which decreases value (way too many of us did that back in the day!)
Shipping & Handling - Separate sleeved cover and disc. Bubble wrapped, stiffeners and boxed appropriately for shipment via USPS.

The following grades are considered desirable and collectible. Anything below them would have to be extremely rare to be considered collectible. Prices are adjusted down, accordingly. These are based on the Goldmine grading guide. This is what I base my grading upon and their original wording can be seen immediately following, copied direct from their website.

Factory Sealed = SS: Still in shrink wrap.Assumed to be in NM or MT condition, but not necessarily so.

Mint = MT: I do not use this, only because it would be conjecture based on the eye of the beholder, plus they are so rare, two or more people need to come to the same agreement.

Near Mint = NM: Looks and sounds like a new record.They may have slight minimal imperfections such as insignifigant tiny marks: a hairline,sleeve wisp or a tiny scuff. Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time. All original pieces are present.

Very Good Plus = VG+: This will have signs of being handled through normal use. It will usually still retain a good gloss. Light surface scratches or hairlines, light scuff(s). Minimal wear to label including writing on label (WOL) or Sticker on label(SOL)or tear(TOL).May have a slight non-threatening edge warp, though I usually downgrade anything that has a hint of warp as a rule. The audio quality will be near to NM, possible light noise which will not compete with vocals or music.

Very Good = VG: This is a pronounced version of the VG+ grade. This grade may or may not be compounded by multiple issues as described in a VG+ grade. Their will be Surface wear and/or some surface or background noise.Maybe label wear, SOL. or WOL. Edge chip or warping which does not affect play. An in-expensive alternative to NM.

Good = G: The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing. You will probably see very few of these listed on my page. However, If you are looking for something particular, it never hurts to ask.

Here is THE Goldmine® Grading Guide from the Goldmine website.

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition. There is no set percentage of the Near Mint value these can bring; it is best negotiated between buyer and seller.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect.

NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

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.

Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.

VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.

Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
These records go for 10 to 15 percent of the Near Mint value, if you are lucky.

Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.

If the item is common, it’s probably better to pass it up. But if you’ve been seeking it for a long time, get it cheap and look to upgrade.

POOR (P)
and Fair (F)
Poor (P) and Fair (F) records go for 0 to 5 percent of the Near Mint value, if they go at all. More likely, they end up going in the trash. Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Covers are so heavily damaged that you almost want to cry.

Only the most outrageously rare items ever sell for more than a few cents in this condition — again, if they sell at all.
