In this auction:

·       “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” LP by The Beatles

·       This is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1062.

·       It was released beginning in February, 1964.

·       This is a MONO (Monaural) Pressing.

·       This is Version 2 of this LP with column back cover and includes the cuts “Ask Me Why” and “Please Please Me” which replaced “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You” that are on Version 1 of this LP.

·       The LABELS have a BLACK BACKGROUND with RAINBOW COLORBAND and VEE JAY OVAL LOGO.

·       The OVAL LOGO issue of the Version 2 pressing of this LP is LESS COMMON than the BRACKETS LOGO issue.

·       BOTH COVER and VINYL are ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC! How do we know?

1)    The cover has George’s shadow and Vee Jay Records spine printing.

2)   The labels have “THE BEATLES” printed above the spindle hole.

So you can bid with confidence that you are receiving the real deal and not a counterfeit. 

·       The COVER is in VERY STRONG VG to VG+ CONDITION. There is light to moderate overall wear. There is some light wear at the top and left side of the front cover and 2-3 light surface creases on George’s leg and at the top of the front cover above the title. There is some slight wear on the bottom seam and small pushes on the 2 bottom corners. The seams and spine are strong with NO SEAM SPLITS. The white reverse has light wear and light aging primarily near the opening.  

·       The VINYL is in NICE VG CONDITION. There are light surface hairlines/scuffs. (None are “feelable”.) The vinyl has LOTS OF GLOSS!
