Here’s a super condition copy of Beatlemania by the Beatles, the Canadian pressing.
The cover is what I can only call near immaculate – it is truly outstanding. For an older record it shows almost no age at all – it is not yellowing, it is not damaged or showing any wear at all. Great edges/spine. Original inner, not split.
The wax is really beautiful – there might be some super light scuffs from storage at best, but really nothing bad to report on either side. One or 2 scuffs on “You Really Got a Hold on Me” – and otherwise, you have to twist it around in the light to see anything at all…light storage scuffs would be the extent of it. The marks on the one song are the only ones that look like they might produce a click or pop, but you can see light marks when tipping it in a strong overhead light – I can play test it for you if you like, but this is really great looking wax. Tough to find nicer used records that are this old.
The runout groove has XeX-447 and XEX-448, etched (not stamped).
Looks like it’ll spin at NM or a high VG+++ for most all of it with maybe an occasional pop/click – but there is not needle marks or excessive damage from storage.
