RARER COVER VARIATION WITH THE PRINT
"NEW IMPROVED FULL DIMENSIONAL STEREO" BANNER
PRINTED IN THE WHITE BAND BORDER OF THE TOP LP EDGE

CONDITION: STILL SEALED
ITEM#: LP380
PRICE: ------

THE COVER SLICK ON THIS STILL SEALED EXAMPLE IS THE RARER VARIATION WITH THE PRINT  "NEW IMPROVED FULL DIMENSIONAL STEREO" BANNER PRINTED IN THE WHITE BAND BORDER OF THE TOP LP EDGE. IT ALSO HAS THE LARGE SPLIT BLACK DOT, RECORD NUMBER, AND THE PRINT "FILE UNDER:THE BEATLES". THIS CHANGE OCCURRED WHEN CAPITOL REALIZED THAT THE STEREO LOGO ON THE DARK GREEN BACKGROUND OF THE FRONT SLICK WAS DIFFICULT TO READ, THEY THEN PREPARED REVISED BACK LINERS THAT HAVE THE STEREO LOGO BANNER ON THE PORTION THAT WRAPS AROUND TO THE TOP OF THE FRONT COVER. THEREFORE, THE FRONT COVER SLICKS THAT HAD THE STEREO LOGO BANNER PRINTED ON THEM, WERE TRIMMED AT THE SAME PLACE AS MONO SLICKS TO REMOVE THE STEREO DESIGNATION.

THERE IS NO FACTORY DESIGNATION NUMBER ON BACK COVER. 3 FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES" ARE EVIDENT (2 ON FRONT COVER, 1 ON BACK COVER). OLIVE GREEN SLEEVE (SUMMER TO LATE 1965 CAPITOL SLEEVE) BARELY VISIBLE THROUGH MOUTH OPENING. THE "STEREO NEEDLE DAMAGE" PRINT INFO IS ON TOP AREA OF THE BACK COVER, SIGNIFYING THIS IS A TRUE FIRST ISSUE.

FRONT COVER IMAGE IS SO STUNNING. BOLD AND CRISP WITH NO RINGWEAR. BACK COVER REMAINS A STUNNING AND BRIGHT SNOW WHITE, WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF YELLOWING ALONG THE MOUTH OPENING. NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD IMPRESSION. SMALL PUSH IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER TIP. THE THREE OTHER CORNERS ARE SHARP.

THIS SEALED STEREO EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST ALBUM TO PRESENT A NEW, GROWING BEATLES TO THE WORLD IN DECEMBER 1965 - IS A MOST OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE. STILL SEALED "RUBBER SOUL" ORIGINAL STEREO ALBUMS DO NOT SURFACE OFTEN, AND THIS ONE IS A WINNER.
