DESCRIPTION THIS MOST STELLAR EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC BEATLES DOUBLE-ALBUM, EMANATES FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF ALAN LIVINGSTON, WHO WAS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF CAPITOL RECORDS FROM 1962 - 1968. MR. LIVINGSTON SIGNED THE BEATLES TO THE CAPITOL LABEL TOWARDS THE END OF 1963, WHEN PRIOR TO THAT TIME, THE GROUP HAD BEEN TURNED DOWN BY EVERY MAJOR RECORD COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES. THE REST IS HISTORY. OUR DIGITAL IMAGES OF THIS WORLD CLASS, INVESTMENT GRADE, UNCIRCULATED "FACTORY FRESH NEW" STILL SEALED LP, TELLS THE COMPLETE STORY. IT IS ONLY ONE OF TWO PERSONAL COPIES FROM MR. LIVINGSTON'S COLLECTION. THE "SNOW WHITE" TONE OF THIS EXAMPLE IS BLINDING, AND JUSTIFIES THAT IT WENT TO MR. LIVINGSTON DIRECTLY FROM THE LOS ANGELES CAPITOL FACTORY. THIS SERIAL NUMBER DICTATES THAT THIS LP CAME FROM THE VERY FIRST BLOCK OF NUMBERS, WHICH STARTED WITH 26 AND RUNNING NEAR 590,000. THIS BATCH WAS ASSIGNED TO THE COMPANY BERT-CO OF LOS ANGELES. THESE COVERS HAVE NUMBERS PRECEDED BY A WIDE SHORT "A" AND AND SPACE PRECEDING THE NUMBERS. AFTER THE BERT-CO NUMBERED COVERS PASSED 100, THE NUMBERS ARE PRECEDED BY A SERIES OF ZEROS. THESE COVERS ARE FOUND WITH DISCS PRESSED BY THE LOS ANGELES FACTORY. 1 FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLE" IS EVIDENT ON FRONT COVER, AS SEEN IN THE IMAGE BELOW : THIS LP WAS ACQUIRED DIRECTLY FROM MR. LIVINGSTON BY RENOWNED BEATLES EXPERT AND AUTHOR PERRY COX IN 1989, AND A SIGNED LETTER TO THAT AFFECT FROM MR. LIVINGSTON ACCOMPANIES THE ALBUM. FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES HAS RECENTLY ACQUIRED THE LP FROM MR. COX. THE LP IS ACCOMPANIED BY LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM PERRY COX, BEATLES U.S. RECORDS EXPERT, AUTHOR OF "THE BEATLES RECORD PRICE GUIDE" SERIES OF BOOKS. PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY HINT OF "BROWNING" OR "MELLOWING" THAT APPEAR IN ANY WHITE EDGE AREAS OF THIS ITEM IS CAUSED BY THE CAMERA ANGLE AND ITS FLASH. ALL WHITE AREAS ARE CLEAN).
