The Beatles on Capitol: Four By The Beatles EAP1-2121

$

305

The Beatles were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did, and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the Beatles grabbed ahold of the international mass consciousness in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity, but never losing their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.............

The Beatles on 45rpm record with cardboard picture sleeve: "Four By The Beatles", Capitol Album EAP 1-2121.
Side 1: Roll Over Beethoven and All My Loving.
Side 2: This Boy and Please Mister Postman

"Recorded in England", "Mfd. by Capitol Records, Inc. U.S.A. T.M. Marca Reg".

The record is in M- condition, and the cardboard picture sleeve is also in M- condition.

This may be the old, (1964) rare, M- condition record and sleeve that you've been looking for! There is no ring wear, no dog ears on this gem. (see image).
Also: What makes this item extra rare is that of the billions of records sold worldwide by the Beatles, very few were extended play.
High bidder: My packaging materials are excellent, but U.S. insurance is highly recommended for this item. ($2.20 per $100 of coverage). There is no insurance available for international shipment, but you know it'll have INDESTRUCTIBLE packing materials, even if the gorillas should step on it!

Grading: Please note: My visual grading standard is conservative. I will seldom use 'mint' condition to describe a record and sleeve because there are very few around that meet this condition. This grade means PERFECT, BRAND NEW.
Most often I will use 'mint minus' or 'very good plus' conditions. Mint minus (near mint) means a record/sleeve that is otherwise mint but has one or two very small flaws on the record or sleeve.
Very Good Plus (excellent) condition means the record has been played or handled infrequently or very carefully. Sleeve shows signs of use and ageing. There may be some loss of lustre on the cover and maybe a light scratch on the record, but will not affect play.
Very Good (VG) condition means will display noticeable signs of playing and handling which resulted in loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches and groove wear. Sleeve will have small rips and light soiling. An owner who cared for records will have owned this record/cover. Not acceptable are serious tears, food stains, serious scratches and signs of abuse.
Unless a record/cover is unusually rare I probably won't have any items on eBay in less than VG condition.

Shipping and handling: I use U.S.P.S. first class mail. I will ship one or two 45's for $2.00. Three or four 45's are heavier: $3.25. Same S&H to Canada. I will give the best S&H price to bidders who have multiple high bids. All records are shipped securely to guard against breakage. All bids are shipped asap, usually within 24 hours, except Sundays. Other international bidders: One or two records is $4.00 via air letter post.

Please don't bid unless you're serious about completing your agreement. Payment is due asap upon notice of high bid. BidPay, cash, money order and PayPal are all acceptable means of payment. A personal check will really slow down delivery to you.
Good luck bidding! Mike
