The Beatles – Beatles VI (1971 Apple/Capitol Reissue, Winchester Pressing – ST-2358)

1971 Apple Records reissue of Beatles VI, originally released in 1965 as one of Capitol’s classic U.S.–only Beatles albums. This is the Winchester pressing with W4 matrices (ST-1-2358 W4 / ST-2-2358 W4) on the green Apple label, housed in the original Capitol Beatles VI sleeve.

The album pulls together U.S.-market favorites including “Eight Days a Week,” “Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey,” “Bad Boy,” “Dizzy Miss Lizzie,” and more – essential mid-’60s Beatles in their prime.

This copy shows honest play wear but is a solid player’s copy and a nice way to own a vintage Apple-label Beatles LP without paying first-pressing prices.

Condition

• Vinyl: VG – visible surface marks and light scuffs; should play through with some light surface noise and the occasional pop. No major gouges or warps noted.
• Jacket: G+ – heavy ring wear and discoloration, corner and edge wear, tape reinforcement on seams. Structurally intact and fully legible.
• Inner sleeve: Plain paper sleeve (not guaranteed original).

(Adjust these grades if, after play-testing, you think it’s better or worse.)
