The Beatles HUGE 12 Lp set , Awesome! 

These all look like originals to me, or very early 2nd pressings, which can mean a period of weeks in the case of Meet The Beatles for example. Here they are…. THE BEATLES!   Meet The Beatles T 2047, West coast issue,  lovely VG+ LP, VG  cover (but she did write on back and underline the songs & so on or it would rate higher) w 6 on back, correct blue inner sleeve, 3 BMI credits, the rest ASCAP, no George Martin credit on the back cover, this is a nice one! The back shows how some girl just loved these guys and took time circling their names, asterisking her favorite songs, to me this really adds to the charm of the piece. Some girl truly loved this, and she took great care of it! The front has zero writing and this = other than the writing on back= is a super nice cover. The Beatles 2nd Album T 2080, also a west coast pressing, 3 on the back cover, asterisk on vinyl dead wax very faint, covers and Lp's were not always made in the same plant-many of you already know that but for anyone else's benefit I hope that's of use. It's why a really low number white album may not be a particularly early issue. Big batches of covers stacked at the plant, used as they were come upon and from where they were shipped from-in the early to mid 60's Capitol mad much of their stuff in PA, but also some in Hollywood too, sometimes the cover for these has a 6 and sometimes a 2 or a 3. The record is a  solid VG+ Lp, it's one of the nicer ones I've eve come across, the vinyl looks so clean, VG cover ! A Hard Days Night, UAL 3366- Mono, it has a G+ cover w/ splits etc and a VG- Lp that sounded much much better than the appearance!! I played 100% of it (yes, even the instrumentals). Thankfully it's a mono because any U/A stereo pressing-no matter when it was issued, was a faux stereo-they didn't have stereo masters so they did the mono rechanneling thing. This really played well. Mono rocks! Beatlemania T 6051 "The 6000 Series" mono Capitol of Canada! This also has a G+ cover and a VG- LP, unique to Canada, this sounded much better than I expected, not sure if this is what is meant as a loud mix but it's clearly very old and it has punch! This was Canada's 1st Beatles Lp issue, and is different than Meet The Beatles. This is a hard Lp to find. I tried to photograph it for you twice so you can see the residue on the label, it's minor in my opinion, I never try to remove anything from the Lp label. That's the correct original inner sleeve. She wrote "by the Beatles" under the slogans on the sleeve , example "Great Music " she wrote by the Beatles in pencil underneath. It's cute. Julie put her name on the back cover-the ink is fading from all the years.  The Early Beatles T 2309 is a really clean shiny VG mono! Good to VG cover, correct Capitol color greenish inner sleeve. I like this much better in mono than in stereo. It just sounds better! Beatles 65 T 2228 mono is also a nice glossy VG or better and it sounds really nice. Label side 2 has a remnant of clear tape over the Capitol Logo that you hardly notice, I think it could come off but I wouldn't do it. The cover is fair, splits and so on but the graphic isn't too bad, correct Capitol Inner sleeve. Mono is far preferred to stereo for this Lp. Capitol loved a little reverb on the very early stuff... She's A Woman sounds AWESOME! So does I Feel Fine, I like it! This sound is what The Beatles came across to the US buyers in the 60's. It's full and it ROCKS! Yesterday and Today T 2553 Mono has a beautiful VG+ LP, shiny, very clean, a super copy! Nice VG cover,  Capitol color inner sleeve. Very nice! Rubber Soul ST 2442 stereo is a solid VG, nice sheen, plays nicely, one of my personal favorites. Only the US stereo version has the false intro to "I'm Looking Through You!"  G to VG cover, correct Capitol greenish inner sleeve. Help! SMAS 2386, Stereo, very shiny VG or better Lp, VG cover, correct Capitol color inner sleeve, sounds really nice. Magical Mystery Tour SMAL 2835 is a beautiful VG+ Lp, just gorgeous, nice VG cover, unattached booklet inside, all very clean and nice.  Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Mono MAS 2653 is by far the nicest copy of this I have ever seen! It's a super clean VG+ with an almost equally nice cover, the correct insert as seen and the psychedelic sleeve! Other the number 33 written on front and a couple of really teeny doodles that are so minor I initially didn't even notice them, Also inside Cynthia lightly put her name on top very far left. Thank you Cynthia for taking such good care of this. I'm calling the Lp conservatively VG+ and anyone would be delighted with this! The mono version is highly sought out, and so hard to find unless you're willing to settle for a beat one. This is likely to be anyone's final upgrade!

Last is Songs, Pictures & Stories VJLP 1062 on the old VJ label! This is sold exclusively as a collector item, not to play,  as one side of it was pressed off center enough that it (in a minor but perceptible way) alters the playback. The other side is a nice Vg. Oh well. The correct 3/4 gatefold cover and the Lp label inspection assures this is absolutely an authentic one! I'll bet only a few slipped past quality control with this flaw. This is a survivor, and would look really cool framed. I test played each and every Lp listed here, I grade in a conservative way. This is a really nice group of records.                             

 This is an established must have, maintained with the greatest care in my nonsmoker home in archival storage, in my personal collection as acquired for years. 

Vinyl has a uniquely awesome sound - if you grew up in the US in the 60's or 70's you know the difference. Every LP is in a nice new clear poly liner, every Lp is sleeved of course, most of the lp's are in a generic sleeve along with the color original inside if still present as noted above.    

 There is international shipping available but be aware, because of weight the shipping is very, very expensive. International shipping is different depending on where you live. I will invoice you. If the shipping rate looks inflated on the site or with the invoice ebay sends immediately after the auction closes just wait. I will invoice you with the proper amount. Priority International is the service used unless something else has to (tracking and insurance are required per paypal policy, so whatever way the postal service can offer tracking is what I have to use). It could be as little as 69. 95 dollars or as much as 180 dollars (if actual cost to your country is more, all must be sent with tracking, and this can cost more. I only charge what the post office charges).

2 things: 

1) DID YOU KNOW THE "Beatlemania" LP FROM CANADA WAS THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN BEATLES ALBUM TO BE RELEASED (IN NOVEMBER OF 1963!!) YES, EVEN PRIOR TO THE INTRODUCING THE BEATLES or MEET THE BEATLES LPS IN THE U.S.! (I knew about being earlier than Meet The Beatles, but not about 1st issue VJ-I thought that was the 1st for the longest time  with a release date also in late 63). VERY HISTORIC AND A TRUE MUST HAVE FOR ANY BEATLES FAN OR COLLECTOR! A NM one is worth big bucks! Perry Cox is the source for this-as I understand it a recognized Beatles memorabilia expert.

2) SGT Pepper cover  has a few teeny staple marks top left-I hadn't noticed them-price tags used to be affixed this way, vintage! More important teeny but just so you're aware.
