Here is an opportunity for someone to purchase a rare piece of Beatle history. This is an excellent example of the Bealtes album Introducing The Beatles released by Vee Jay Records in 1964 to cash in on the band's success. This is version #2 of this album which has the song "Ask Me Why". It has no comma on the backside on Please Please Me. Includes the original generic paper sleeve.
It's been recently brought to my attention by another ebayer that this version has the double-slicked back cover. He looks to be correct. I've added another picture to the auction so that you may see it for yourself. I should also point out that this version also has the 1/4" flaps on the top and bottom of the inside cover.

This album has been in my personal collection for over 25 years and I'm now parting out some of my collection. This is a really nice example of this album.

Condition is as follows: Labels: VG+
Vinyl: VG++  Vinyl is in really good shape for an album of this age.
Front Cover: VG+ Rear Cover: VG+
The seams are in excellent shape with little wear and show no signs of splitting anywhere.

The stampings in the run out of the vinyl are difficult to read but appear to say "63-3403-1" on side 1. On side 2 it reads "63-3403-2" and the letters "ARC". There are some other letters in the run out but they are too small to read.

PLEASE READ: From time to time I get non-paying bidders. It's an ugly part of selling on ebay. Not only do I lose money on listing fees and final value fees, but I also lose a sale to a buyer that would have paid. For this reason, if a buyer has not made payment within 10 days of winning an auction or buying an item then I will be forced to open a non-paying bidder claim with ebay. This will result in the buyer getting a strike from ebay. I must also leave negative feedback. I try to avoid such cases in every way possible.

Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.  I have a 100% feedback rating and your satisfaction is my goal, however ALL SALES ARE FINAL and all items are sold AS IS.  If for some reason you are unhappy with any aspect of this transaction, please email me and we can discuss it.
