THE BEATLES “Very Together” Rare Canadian only issue VG+

Here’s a nice copy of this Rare lp, first one I’ve seen for a while. The cover is in the partial shrink and in nice solid VG condition, there is ring wear on the right side as the shrink is missing, delete hole top right corner, light corner wear, no splits and looks very nice. The vinyl is in strong VG to VG+ condition with only very light surface sleeve scuffs. The record plays very well with minor light background well below the music in the odd spot. Nice one!

Very Together is an album by the Beatles and the first compilation of the band's early recordings supporting Tony Sheridan to be released in Canada. It was issued in November 1969 by Polydor Records, with the catalogue number 242.008. The cover photograph features four candles, one of which has been extinguished – a reference to the "Paul is dead" urban legend.

One of four Beatles albums to be released only in Canada, its scarcity in any condition is considerable. The content of the album is identical to that of the previously released European album The Beatles' First ! and the American album In the Beginning  issued the following year. Four songs credited to Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers, performed by other musicians, were added to the tracklist.

///GRADING///

MINT: as stated with no defects

NEAR MINT: as stated near Mint!, or Mint Minus, same thing, very clean with no defect to sound or visual appearance, one scuff or mark may be permitted but it will be mentioned in the description, a near Mint record looks and plays very clean

EXCELLENT: not much below near Mint, may have a delete hole and/or a minor defect or two not visually detracting from the cover, the vinyl will appear shiny and in clean condition with very minor defects not affecting the sound, still very clean and very collectable!

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal cover wear and/or delete/splits, still visually appealing, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much

VG+ a little more cover/ring wear and delete, splits etc., the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects, both cover and vinyl no matter the condition.
