BEATLES SECOND ALBUM 1964 GERMAN PRESSING RARE MILITARY BASE LP ODEON ZTOX 5558 BEATLES SECOND ALBUM 1964 GERMAN PRESSING RARE MILITARY BASE LP ODEON ZTOX 5558
THE BEATLES LP
SECOND ALBUM
ODEON RECORDS # ZTOX 5558
German pressing of this record album, released in 1964. The copy we are offering here is a hard to find variant that was distributed to U.S. military bases in West Germany for only a couple of months in 1964. This is noted by the record labels displaying only the word GEMA on the left side (the standard copies displayed both of the words GEMA and BIEM on the left side of the record labels).
COVER: The cover is well preserved to be over 50 years old. It grades a strong and exceptionally nice VG+.
VINYL: The record is clean and retains much of its original glossy luster. The record was manufactured with lots of areas that are lightly raised off of the playing surface. We listened to the LP and the raised areas play right through with no problem. The record would grade a solid VG were it not for these raised areas, but because they are there we are grading this LP a VG minus.

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.
With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. Upon request, we will give your sealed LP's the same treatment.
All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.
