Capitol 5150     Can't Buy Me Love/You Can't Do That
The Beatles' single Can't Buy Me Love / You Can't Do That (Capitol 5150) was released on March 16, 1964. Its picture sleeve is the rarest of all the  Capitol sleeves and near mint copies sell for as much as $1000.00. Twelve variations and reissues exist of the disc. The originals were issued on the orange/yellow swirl label and do not have the words "Subsidiary of..." in the perimeter print. This sixth Parlophone Beatles single was the second Capitol single in the United States..  By this time, the Beatles were so popular that over 3,000,000 advance copies had been ordered by dealers.  These were sent out as quickly as possible, with standard Capitol sleeves.  There was a PS for this single, however, but because of the bulk order, very few copies were issued.  The photo is the same as the photo on "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and the sleeve is black and white.This is a very rare sleeve which has been counterfeited rather well. Fakes that I have seen have the number "5150" in thinnerprint than the original. If you are thinking of buying a CBML sleeve, get a money-back guarantee to its authenticity first.  Also, some original sleeves have been "doctored" with magic marker, as mentioned with the "I Want to Hold Your Hand" sleeve. Since so few copies were made, all of the original picture sleeves to "Can't Buy Me Love" are East-Coast "straight-cut" sleeves.


Goldmine Standard Record Grading
Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) 
A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
Very Good Plus (VG+) 
Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG) 
Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 
Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
Poor (P), Fair (F) 
Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon. Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
