Vinyl:  VG++ Play Graded. Sounds Great!  Has some marks that don't affect the sound quality.  Vee-Jay Bracket Labels are Clean and Bright except for a name written on both sides.   This is the Original 1964 Vee-Jay VJLP 1062 MONO 1ST PRESSING, pressed at Monarch Records Mfg. Corp., Los Angeles, CA!!!  Quintessential Early Period Beatles:  the beginning of Beatlemania, this is from the year they conquered America.  Vee-Jay had taken advantage of the fact that Capitol Records had passed on their option to release records by the at that time unknown-in-America Lads from Liverpool.  This record is essentially the same as the one released as "Introducing The Beatles", but this one has the less common cover.  On this record The Beatles pay homage to their influencers:  Motown, 1st Generation Rock 'N Roll, R&B...Crucial!......

Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?  First and early pressings are pressed from the first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues/re-issues (which, in recent times, are often pressed from whatever 'best' tapes or digital sources are currently available) - many so-called 'audiophile' new 180g pressings are cut from hi-res digital sources…essentially an expensive CD pressed on vinyl.  Why  experience the worse elements of both formats?  These are just High Maintenance CDs, with mid-ranges so cloaked with a veil as to sound smeared.  They are nearly always compressed with murky transients and a general lifelessness in the overall sound.  There are exceptions where re-masters/re-presses outshine the original issues, but they are exceptions and not the norm.  First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider.  Subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive.  Inner details are  clearer.   On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.  The physics of sound energy is hard to clarify and write about from a listening perspective, but the best we can describe it is to say that you can 'hear' what the mixing and mastering engineers wanted you to hear when they first recorded the music.

The tremendous success of in 1964 led to numerous repackagings of their material by the independent labels that had taken a chance on them early on when Capitol, their nominal American label, initially passed on its option in 1963. While it still controlled American rights to ' first album, , which it had issued in abridged form as in 1963, Vee Jay now released a slightly different abridgement under the title . ("Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me" were restored, and "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" deleted). This was the same version they had released only 11 days earlier as one-half of .
