VEE JAY RECORDS SR (VJLPS) -1062

"Inroducing The Beatles" is the first The Beatles LP issued in USA!!! Original first pressing, Version 1 "Ad Back" cover, STEREO, released January 10, 1964!!! Authentic "Ad Back" cover variation has miniature color photographs of the covers of 25 Vee-Jay albums, on the back side. The back cover artwork used on this version of the jacket is nothing more than one side of the inner sleeve dust jacket. All "Ad Back" covers were manufactured with front slicks containing the phrase “Printed in U.S.A.” running vertically along its lower left side. The stereo covers have the white top banner with “STEREOPHONIC” centered in grey and the number SR 1062 in black in the upper right-hand corner. Cover was printed by Coburn & Company, an offset printing firm in Chicago.
