Description

THE BEATLES - SECOND ALBUM - CAPITOL - ST 2080 - STEREOVinyl Condition: VG++ to NMSuper rare label! Time missing on only one track!
Just about perfect. Very minor surface marks if any. Plays flawlessly. Audiophile owned. This record was upgraded to a poly sleeve in 1964 the day it was bought. And that makes all the difference. The only issue is the initials written on the label. This record looks like it would as if you bought it today and just played it a few times at most. Has original blue sleeve in excellent condition. 
Scranton triangle in wax
Matrix #s - ST-1-2080-B2 / ST-2-2080-A1#2
Cover Condition: NM-
RIAA # 3
Almost perfect! The only reason this does not get a M rating is the crease in the top left corner(see pic). And the very very slight ring wear. Corners are very crisp and sharp, super gloss, Spine is tight and completely legible, no surface scratches, whites are white. It looks and feels almost new in every aspect! This is a nice quality LP with a rare label.

I have tried to describe this item in detail but may have missed something small. High quality photos have been provided to assure the buyer what you see is what you get. Please study them carefully by zooming in. We will be posting much more quality and rare vinyl in the near future. All records come protected and professional packaged. Thanks for shopping with Discount Hobby Shop!
I use this scale for grading records and sleeves.

  • Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). 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. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. 

    An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. 

    Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 

    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. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". 

    The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. 

    Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 

    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. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. 

    Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 

    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.
