MEET THE BEATLES LP

1964 | Capitol | ST-2047

Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation, Keep in mind I am only visually assessing the condition of the jacket and vinyl. I encourage you to ask questions, before biding, I will answer honestly. Good Luck!!! - Jason

CONDITION- Jacket: G+ / Vinyl: VG+ or EX

**** READ: Looks Like its a Mono Jacket, possible wrong jacket for this stereo vinyl **** 

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade: G+ Jacket is still in one piece. The  spine is in ok shape and the print is still sorta legible in some spots but there is splitting half way up,  bottom seam split open ALL THE WAY (see photo's). little bit of burn or record rub, the corners are slightly rounded from age, its a little dirty... not too bad,  maybe a small blemish here and there some scratches on cover, small price sticker damage in the front, pictures tell the story, jacket is still a complete square and will hold the vinyl within a plastic cover.

Inner Sleeve - generic plain white paper sleeve.

The vinyl:  VG+ or  EX. The record looks great, Shiny and glossy, Very Few Light surface scratches not deep. a few nicks and dings, minor long dull eraser mark on side 2 (cosmetic) ,  Other than that there are some light finger prints, maybe a smudge... the album looks really good, possibly EX. I don't see anything that will impact playback.

The label on side 2 has a sticker damage, (see photo)

 

Note: This vinyl is heavier than a normal record, and it's not flimsy or bendy. 

Code is STAMPED on (not etched)

This could be a really nice everyday play Stereo copy... If you still have questions please message me.

All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket - to prevent damage to the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. 

I do free combine shipping! So if you're think about buying a second or third album, I combine ship for free UP to 4 albums (2 Double LPs) total.  After that I might need a second box (but if you wanna buy that many I'll pay for the second shipping cost)

All overseas Shipping will dill be done thru eBay international shipping program. No exceptions.

Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! 

Grading Scale:

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light  cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I do not grade LPs professionally and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, I'm grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, I'm selling it as is. If you're really interested in this record and you think the description & photo's are missing something, Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo's. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl? together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
