STEREO COPIES OF BEATLES ALBUMS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO 1966 ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RARER THAN THEIR MONO COUNTERPARTS. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT ONLY FIFTEEN PERCENT OF CAPITOL'S BEATLES ALBUMS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO 1966 WERE STEREO. A SEALED STEREO FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TITLE IS EXTREMELY ELUSIVE, RIGHT BEHIND THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM AND THE EARLY BEATLES.

THIS SEALED STEREO EXAMPLE IS MAGNIFICENT AND VIRTUALLY PERFECT. AN ABSOLUTE GEM.
