Lot of 9 Beatles Record Albums Released 1964 - 1977 Capitol and Apple Record Labels
I am not a record collector and do not have the ability to test these. In general the records in this lot appear to be in nice condition. I can see some light surface scratches or scuffs. It's difficult to get pictures of the surfaces - I've written in the description anything of note.
On each record numbers are etched in the smooth area surrounding the label. On LET IT BE, "Phil & Ronnie" is etched in that area (see last photo, lower right)
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I'll be happy to provide more photos as requested as well. I'm using the word "Sleeve" to mean the inner paper and the word "Cover" to mean the outer cardboard jacket.
I've listed them in order of date of release:
1. MEET THE BEATLES, Released January 20, 1964, Capitol T2047 Light wear on front cover.Top and bottom edges of cover are open about 5"
2. SOMETHING NEW, Released July 20, 1964, Capitol T2108 Cover spine is completely opened and about 3" is open on top edge. Name is written at top center of front cover. Record label on side one has some scratches in the black paper - see photo
3. BEATLES '65, Released December 15, 1964, Capitol T2228 Original Sleeve. Cover spine has 6" opening along center, bottom edge open a little more than half way. Side one of record has a stubborn tiny speck of something that I won't try to pick off - I'll leave it to the winner to clean properly!
4. RUBBER SOUL, Released December 6, 1965, Capitol T2442 Original Sleeve. Color wear on cover. Cover spine and 3/4 of bottom edge are separated. Record side one has several surface scuffs.
5. SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, Released May 26, 1967, Capitol 2653 Gatefold Cover spine and edge wear, name written lightly upper right front cover. I was able to get a photo of a surface scratch near the edge on side two (see last photo, upper right)
6. ABBEY ROAD, Released September 26, 1969, Apple SO-383 Cover has light spine wear. Record rim is rough to the touch in a few places, not on the surface but the outside rim.
