This, the second variation of the "Introducing the Beatles" album's back cover is also shrouded in mystery and speculation...

It is similar to the Ad Back in that it contains no information regarding the group or the songs. But while the Ad Back is one of the most colorful back covers in the Beatles catalog, the second variation is at the other end of the spectrums glossy blank white slick...

This variation is known among collectors as the "Blank Back" cover. The mono and stereo Blank Back covers each have two noticeable but minor variations...

One is a mono cover with "Printed in U.S.A." on its front cover slick, the other constructed with a later front cover slick without "Printed in U.S.A." Similarly, the stereo cover has the same variations with "Printed in U.S.A." on its front cover slick and another which does not...

In all likelihood, the Blank Backs were a limited transitional run substituted after all Ad Back slicks had been used but prior to receipt of the third back cover variation that listed the song titles...

COVER - Cover of this particular copy is in VG- condition with some wear, circular stain front center, 3 inch split seam bottom right and writing and sticker on the blank back cover (see scan)... It appears to be the later front cover slick without "Printed in U.S.A printed on front...

MONO LP - Logo on label of the lp is oval and album includes the tracks : "p.s. i love you and love me do"... There is some circular ring wear on one side of the label...

The mono lp has been played and it does have some scuffs (but nothing deep)... Both sides might play thru with some minor surface noise but no skips...

I'd grade the overall condition of the record as VG-...
