Beatles Story rare 1/2, 3/4 vinyl configuration record album
I'm rating the album and jacket a little conservatively - overall this is a very nice, solid example of the hard to find Beatles Story -
RARE RCA PRESSING FIRST ISSUE VERSION:
RECORD 1: SIDES 1 & 2 / RECORD 2: SIDES 3 & 4
"THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ALBUMS FOR "THE BEATLES' STORY" CONTAIN RECORDS THAT HAVE SIDES ONE AND FOUR ON ONE DISC, AND SIDES TWO AND THREE ON THE OTHER. THIS CONFIGURATION (1/4/2/3 PAIRINGS) WAS DONE TO ACCOMMODATE PURCHASERS WHO HAD TURNTABLES WITH SPINDLE POLES AND A BALANCING ARM THAT ALLOWED FOR THE STACKING AND CONTINUOUS PLAY OF SEVERAL RECORDS IN A ROW.
YET, A SMALL NUMBER OF THE EAST AND WEST COAST RECORDS PRODUCED BY RCA RECORDS, HAVE THE RARER FIRST PRESSING WHERE SIDES ONE AND TWO IS ON ONE DISC, AND SIDES THREE AND FOUR ON THE OTHER. SINCE THIS CONFIGURATION (1/2/3/4 PAIRINGS) WERE MANUFACTURED BY THE SUBCONTRACTOR RCA RECORDS, THEY WERE PRESSED IN LESSER QUANTITIES AND ARE MUCH SCARCER AND VALUABLE THAN THE STANDARD 1/4/2/3 PAIRING RECORDS."
vinyl: - very good plus/excellent.
Record sounds great!
cover : very good plus - overall solid!
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
