About this record
Beatles VI arrived in 1965 as Capitol Records' US compilation, pressed at the Scranton plant and identifiable by the IAM triangle stamp in the dead wax on both sides. The first pressing carries a black rainbow label without subsidiary rim text and credits "Words Of Love" to ASCAP—a detail that distinguishes it from later variants.
Demand outpaces supply: 683 collectors want this pressing against 7915 who own one, yet only 67 copies are listed for sale across the market.
What drives its value
The price spread reflects condition sensitivity on this 1965 Capitol mono pressing. A Mint copy commands 128.47 USD, while NM drops to 114.94 USD; VG+ sits at 87.90 USD and VG at 60.85 USD.
The lowest asking price across active listings is 4.3 USD, indicating heavy wear or damage. As a first pressing from the Scranton plant—confirmed by the IAM triangle matrix stamp on both sides—this version holds premium value over later Capitol reissues.
The want-to-have ratio of 683 to 7915 suggests steady collector interest, though the 67 copies currently for sale indicate moderate availability. Original pressings came with an olive-colored Capitol inner sleeve, and back covers initially listed songs with a note directing buyers to check the label for correct playing order, making sleeve condition and completeness material to valuation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number T 2358 (also printed as T-2358) on the front cover and spine. The matrix runout stamps on Side 1 read T-X-1-2358 and on Side 2 T-X-2-2358; both sides carry the Scranton plant identifier IAM in a triangle, along with a #3 next to the RIAA stamp on the back right corner.
The label is black rainbow without subsidiary rim text, and "Words Of Love" is credited to ASCAP rather than later variants. The 11-track mono LP should include the olive-colored Capitol inner sleeve.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline marks and playing the record to assess surface noise; the price guide values range from 128.47 USD (Mint) down to 6.76 USD (Poor), so accurate condition assessment is critical. The back cover should display the song listing with the note "see label for correct playing order," distinguishing first pressings from corrected later issues.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is a Scranton plant pressing and not a different Capitol facility?
Look at the dead wax on both sides of the vinyl. The Scranton plant identification appears as an IAM triangle stamp, stamped (not etched) into the runout. Side 1 matrix reads T-X-1-2358 and Side 2 reads T-X-2-2358, with the IAM triangle on each. You will also see a #3 next to the RIAA stamp on the back right corner of the jacket.
What is a VG+ copy of Beatles VI worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ pressing is valued at 87.90 USD. This represents a record with light surface noise and minimal visible wear. Mint copies reach 128.47 USD, so condition grade determines a significant portion of market value on this 1965 pressing.
Why does the back cover say 'see label for correct playing order'?
First pressings from 1965 shipped with back covers that listed songs but directed buyers to the label for the correct sequence. Capitol released corrected back covers simultaneously, so original pressings with this note are a first-state identifier. The label itself shows the proper track order, making both the label and back cover important to authentication.
What should I look for on the label to confirm the first pressing?
The label is black rainbow without subsidiary rim text. "Words Of Love" is credited to ASCAP on this first pressing. Later reissues altered these details, so verify both the label color and the ASCAP credit against the catalogue number T 2358 on the cover.
What is the lowest price I might see for this record?
The lowest asking price currently listed is 4.3 USD, though this typically indicates heavy wear, damage, or significant surface noise. A Poor-graded copy is valued at 6.76 USD in the price guide. For a playable copy in Good condition, expect 20.28 USD; for VG, 60.85 USD.
