Description

This is the 1964 "Introducing The Beatles".  This is a rare record Version 1 on the LP, but cover labeled Version 2







Record is in pretty good condition, I see no major scratches, but I do not have a Phonograph player, so I cannot be sure of the play. See pics. The sleeve and cover are in good shape, but worn as can be expected of a record of this age.




The story behind this Album's history, where it is a Version 1 record (album), with a Version 2 Label Cover.........

On 16 January 1964, less than a week after Introducing... The Beatles was released, Vee-Jay was served with a restraining order stopping further distribution. Beechwood Music, Inc., Capitol Records' publishing subsidiary, owned the American publishing rights to LOVE ME DO and PS I LOVE YOU, and because the two songs had not yet been officially released in the US, Beechwood refused to issue a license for Vee-Jay to release them. Approximately 80,000 copies of Introducing... The Beatles had been released with the two songs on them, with only 2,000 or so in stereo

To circumvent the restraining order, Vee-Jay quickly reconfigured Introducing... The Beatles. It removed "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" and replaced them with the previously omitted "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me", though some pressings of the album did not alter the track list. The new versions were prepared in late January and began appearing in stores around 10 February 1964
