THE BEATLES’ SECOND ALBUM – STEREO with RARE I CALL “YOU” NAME ERROR on Side Two

You’re looking at “THE BEATLES’ SECOND ALBUM” with RARE “I CALL YOU NAME” ERROR on Side Two. This is a nice STEREO copy of this great 60 YEAR OLD ALBUM.  According to Stanley Panenka’s great book “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES RECORD PRICE GUIDE,” the exact same pressing in NEAR MINT condition is valued at $800.00! 

(Because of the record’s scarcity, it’s valued at 70% of the total price. The cover is more common, so it’s value is only 30% of the total price.)

There are 2 important factors pertaining to the scarcity and value of this particular version of the album.  They are: 

#1) “I CALL YOU NAME” ERROR – Capitol discovered the typo right after its release and quickly printed corrected labels and sent them out to the appropriate Pressing Plants to replace the incorrect ones on future pressings. That's why copies of this particular pressing are not so easy to come by.

#2) MONO VS. STEREO – Stereo copies of Beatles albums manufactured prior to 1966 are significantly RARER than their Mono counterparts.  It is estimated that only about FIFTEEN PERCENT of Capitol's Beatles albums manufactured prior to 1966 were Stereo. (That’s 6 2/3 Mono pressings for every 1 Stereo pressing.) There are no Mono copies of this particular version. It only came out in Stereo.    

Here are the particulars…

ALBUM CONDITIONS

ALBUM COVER:  (VG+) Real solid. No splits or tears anywhere.

Front: The front cover still looks really good. Don’t see any ring wear. There is some staining around the edges, but is’s not too obtrusive. The bottom left corner has a little water damage. All four corners have minor dings.   (SEE IMAGES.)

Back: The back cover still looks really good. Don’t see any ring wear. There is some staining around the edges, but is’s not much. The bottom left corner has a small dent. The bottom right corner has a little water damage.  (SEE IMAGES.)

Seams: As mentioned before, the seams have no splits or tears. There is some wrinkling on the bottom seam from the water damage next to the spine. 

Spine: The spine looks really good with all text present and clearly legible. There is some light staining and some minor wrinkling. Both corners have small dings. (SEE IMAGES.) 

VINYL RECORD:  (VG)  

Record: Play tested.  No skips.  Vinyl does have some scuffs and light scratches, but it still sounds great. The occasional pop does little to affect the sound. The record still has a lot of its original luster. I would have given this record at VG+ except for one thing… There is a tiny chip along the very edge of the record. It doesn’t make a sound because it’s on the very edge, not at all on the playing surface. I never would have noticed it myself except I was wiping off the record after cleaning it with my Groove Washer and felt it. I doubt anyone would notice it if they weren’t actually looking for it. I’ve circled it in one of the images so you can see where it’s located.   (SEE IMAGES.) 

Labels: Both labels look great with no sign of spindle marks.  (SEE IMAGES.) 

Sleeve: Comes in a new generic sleeve.
