DESCRIPTION
(ACTUAL IMAGES)

FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES IS VERY PROUD TO OFFER THIS ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE OF CAPITOL RECORDS' DEBUT BEATLES PICTURE SLEEVE OF "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" B/W "I SAW HER STANDING THERE". THIS VERSION IS THE AMAZINGLY-RARE WEST COAST LOS ANGELES VERSION WITH THE B-SIDE HEADER TITLE  "I SAW HER STANDING THERE" PRINTED ON DROP-DOWN 'TAB CUT' FOLDED SIDE OF SLEEVE. THE STANDARD WEST COAST ISSUE OF THIS RELEASE HAS THE A-SIDE "I WANT TO HOLD HER HAND" HEADER TITLE PRINTED ON 'TAB CUT' SIDE OF THE SLEEVE.

THIS VARIATION OF THIS TITLE IS THE RAREST OF ALL ALTERNATE FOLDED CAPITOL RECORDS PICTURE SLEEVE TITLES THAT HAVE SURFACED (10 DIFFERENT TITLES TO DATE). TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THIS WEST COAST ALTERNATE VERSION OF "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" IS ONLY THE THIRD TO HAVE SURFACED TO DATE. NONE OF THE ALTERNATE FOLDED VARIATION TITLES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ANY PUBLICATION TO DATE.

THE GRADING OF THIS ULTRA-RARITY IS A VERY RESPECTABLE VG++ TO VG+. THE B-SIDE 'TAB CUT' SIDE HAS A SMALL TEAR ACROSS THE "T" OF THE WORD "THE" (MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF A PRICE STICKER). ALSO ON THIS SIDE, THERE IS A TINY VERTICAL TEAR COMING DOWN THE TAB CUT AREA AND RUNS A BIT INTO THE LETTER "A" IN THE WORD "BEATLES".  ON THE STRAIGHT CUT "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" SIDE, THERE ARE TWO STAPLE HOLES UPON THE LETTER "S" OF "BEATLES",  DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE PRICE STICKER FROM THE OTHER SIDE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT HANDLING WEAR THROUGHOUT, AND SOME TYPICAL TONING OVERALL TO THE SLEEVE. YET, NO WRINKLES, NO RINGWEAR, NO SPLITS OR ANY OTHER TEARS. THE GRAPHICS AND TONES REMAIN NICE AND BOLD.
