  THE EARLY BEATLES
CAPITOL ST-2309 STEREO
RELEASED: 3/22/65
WEST COAST ISSUE
RARE COLUMBIA RECORDS CONTRACT PRESSING

IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP.

THEY DON'T COME BETTER THAN THIS. A STUNNING WEST COAST ISSUE THAT IS SIMPLY IMPECCABLE.

THE COVER REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP (2 "BREATH HOLES" ON FRONT SHRINK) AND IS A FLAWLESS MINT MINUS. JUST A TINY WRAP TEAR ON UPPER LEFT CORNER WITH NO AFFECT TO THE CORNER IN THAT AREA.

THE RECORD IS AN "AS NEW" MINT UNPLAYED JEWEL. THE WEST COAST BERT-CO FLAT FINISH LABELS ARE SUBLIME.

MAKING THIS EXAMPLE EVEN MORE SPECTACULAR, THIS IS A COLUMBIA RECORDS CONTRACT PRESSING FROM THEIR SANTA MARIA, CALIFORNIA PLANT. COLUMBIA MANUFACTURED ALBUMS HAVE A 2 11/16" DIAMETER RING LOCATED 1 3/16" FROM THE CENTER HOLE. THE TRAIL OFF AREAS HAVE HAND ETCHED MATRIX AND A LACQUER NUMBER "53".

THE MATCHING NEAR MINT LOS ANGELES LATE 1964 CAPITOL RECORDS RED ORANGE RUST INNER DUST SLEEVE ("PE 12-2AL" IS PRINTED IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER) IS ALSO INCLUDED. THIS INDICATES THAT THIS RECORD IS AN EARLY FIRST RUN OF THIS TITLE.

CONDITION: M- / M  (UNPLAYED)
ITEM#: LP469
