The Beatles’ Story
Capitol STBO-2222 STEREO
Released 11/23/64

Item # LP150       Price $3,750

This release did not have factory number on back cover.
Red Rust Inner Sleeves (Late 1964 Capitol sleeve)
are visible through mouth openings.
4 factory shrink "breath holes" evident ( 2 on front, 2 on back).
Extremely tight seal corner to corner. No rips, No tears.

This remarkable Sealed example is a West Coast (Los Angeles) factory pressing,
dictated by the "cream" tone colored wrap-around Slick that is evident.

Only 1 minor flaw is a 1" shrink seam separation at the top center.
Cover is not affected at all in that area.

The spine is INCREDIBLE - perfectly squared and print is sharp and clear :

The mouth opening remains tightly Sealed, with NO breaks
and the Late 1964 Red Rust Inner Sleeves are visible :

Stereo copies of Beatles albums manufactured prior to 1966 are significantly RARER
than their Mono counterparts. It's estimated that only FIFTEEN percent of Capitol's Beatles albums
manufactured prior to 1966 were Stereo. Finding this Gatefold STEREO Release STILL SEALED,
and in this gorgeous, virtually perfect, world class condition is truly a find !

THE LP IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM
PERRY COX :

PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY HINT OF "BROWNING" OR "MELLOWING"
THAT APPEAR IN ANY WHITE EDGE AREAS
