I am selling many BEATLES LPs (duplicates) from my collection. So, please check my other auctions.

·       “BEATLES ‘65” by the Beatles  

·       This LP Capitol Records ST 2228.

·       This LP was issued 1968 - 1969

·       This LP is a 2nd PRESSING STEREO COPY. “Subsidiary of Capitol” is in the perimeter label printing.

·       The COVER is a Capitol-marked cover and the cover cardboard construction with front cover slick overlapping the rear slick is the correct cover to go with this 1968-69 pressing. There is the number 6 on the rear cover at bottom right which indicates that it came from either the Los Angles or Winchester pressing plant. Covers with the #6 printed at lower right on the rear cover contained original, subsidiary (this one), green or Apple labels. So this COVER contains the CORRECT Vinyl pressing.

·       NOTE: Some sellers will switch vinyl and covers either intentionally or accidentally in order to create a mismatched near mint item to sell. I don’t do that. This is the correct cover and vinyl for this pressing/issue.

·       The COVER is graded VERY STRONG VG+. It looks nice (check images). The cover has light to moderate wear on the front and rear covers, small corner pushes, and small writing at top right on the front cover underneath the LP catalog number. There are a few light scuffs near George’s leg. There is some cracking on the spine, but no paper loss. Top & bottom seams are nice and strong. 

·       The VINYL is NEAR MINT MINUS with a few light surface scuffs/hairlines.  

·       A nice black rainbow Capitol label BEATLES LP to add to your vinyl collection!

Thanks to Perry Cox’s Price Guide for the Beatles American Records for information about this LP.

FYI: I use Goldmine Grading Standards (G for Good, VG for Very Good, VG+ for Very Good Plus, NM for Near Mint, M for Mint) to VISUALLY grade the LPs and 45s I auction, so please know the descriptions of these grades before bidding.
