Original very early 1st Stereo pressing factory sealed copy of The Beatles’ 10th studio album released in the US on June 20, 1966. The Stereo version of this album comes across significantly rarer than its Mono counterpart. Pressed at the Monarch pressing plant in Los Angeles this copy has the factory identifier in the form of the RIAA 5 number in the lower right-hand corner of the back cover. Without any doubts this copy is a very early 1st Stereo pressing because the RIAA 5 number was used on Los Angeles covers only until 1966 unlike the other Los Angeles pressing containing the RIAA 6 number on the cover. Having the RIAA 6 identifier on the cover it’s always hard to identify the pressing date of a factory sealed copy as covers containing it were manufactured up until 1970, including the issues with the “Subsidiary…” text. The top right of the front cover contains an incredibly rare rectangular "ADVERTISED IN LIFE" red background sticker with the "LIFE" magazine logo still affixed to the shrink wrap. Capitol Records was among one of the companies that placed its ads in the "LIFE" magazine. The release of the albums advertised in the magazine was equipped with a sticker on the cover informing the buyer that the album has been advertised in "LIFE". Together with this copy, up for an auction is the original incredibly rare fold-out two panel "LIFE" magazine color subscription form insert postpaid card. The front panel of this uniquely designed insert has a rare photo taken by Henry Grossman at the EMI studios on Abbey Road in England. This original unused insert was attached to the middle of the "LIFE" magazine's issue with the same staples that held the pages of the magazine together and was used for subscription. After detaching the mail form and filling out your information you could ship the form to "LIFE" magazine located at Time & Life Building, Chicago, Illinois 60611. Original 1967 insert is 7" tall and 5.5" wide including the protruding part. (The left panel of the insert is slightly shorter than the right one and has the width of 5") This original “LIFE” insert is insanely rare and is extremely hard to find. The album is in stunning Mint condition.
