Meet The Beatles Rare Sealed Mono 1st West Coast Press No Producer Credit READ

Meet The Beatles Rare Sealed Mono T 2047 1st West Coast Press No Producer Credit. This is an extremely difficult to find sealed mono Meet The Beatles first west coast pressing from early 1964.

According to Discogs, this is a 1st west coast pressing since it is identified by RIAA # 6 on the jacket back lower-right side, a dark brown "Beatles" title on the jacket front, and no George Martin producer credit on the jacket back lower left-side. Subsequent mono west coast pressings had an olive green "Beatles" title and later included the George Martin producer credit.

I'm conservatively grading the record NM since I can't access it to ensure it's Mint. See the pictures, the jacket shows multiple signs of wear including various creases and unsharp corners. The creasing is mainly on the jacket front lower middle-left and the top right beneath Capitol Records High Fidelity. The front top right corner shows the most wear and the front bottom right corner has a slight bend to it.

The record is sealed but there is a roughly 10 long narrow piece of shink missing on the jacket front top. There is also a small shrink tear near the jacket front lower left corner. In addition, there's noticeable jacket ring wear.
