The Beatles '65 Capitol Records ST 2228.  Super clean copy. Record plays close to new.  Jacksonville number 9 pressing.

This is an EXCELLENT player.  Bright shiny playing surface. Very crisp with no surface noise on lead in on either side and virtually no surface noise between tracks  There are no pops or skips anywhere.  Record plays without any issues.   Record is very clean and spindle hole on each side appears as new.   This record plays like a solid VG++/M- that may have only been played a handful of times.

Cover is VG light scuffs and only the slightest traces of ring wear on the back cover and a slight separation about 3/4" front right corner.  Colors are still very bright and only slight traces of handling from over the last 54 years! This would be an instant grab if you saw it at a record show. I really want you to be happy and enjoy this purchase.  I know we vinyl buyers are very picky and I try my best to describe it as accurately as I can. Please take a close look at all the photos and do not hesitate to ask any questions.
I use the following to grade all albums:
SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.

NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.

VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks ­ very minor ­ that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.

VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.

VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.
