Description
TITLE/ARTIST: Hello and please continue to check out all current and future listings as everything from my personal collection - Beatles and more - will eventually come up for sale - good records from the '50's, '60's, and much more - all are "oldies" and most all in great shape! Here is one of those rare and highly collectible LP`s by "The Fab Four" themselves, The Beatles - their very 1st release for the Vee-Jay Label with the "gatefold jacket" and all the other 1st pressing signs - but, please read on. It is on this original Vee-Jay Label - with VJ in brackets - from back in 1964 with all writing on the label above the hole, as was once a telltale sign for original VJ first pressings. It was another Vee-Jay release of the same "Introducing The Beatles" LP (see label title), but was issued with a different jacket and title - this one being a "gatefold jacket" with the original 2/3 front side flap and entitled, "Songs, Pictures, and Stories Of the Fabulous Beatles". Of course, Vee-Jay Records was one of the very first labels that tried to jump on the Beatles' success as they hit the "big time" here in the US back in 1964. And, it is yet another album in outstanding, very good condition - both the vinyl and the jacket, although neither is perfect either. This LP - the 1st of just a few albums Vee-Jay released - features twelve (12) early songs by the Beatles and all of the titles are visible in the pictures above - and all the songs are in original MONO, not to mention they are also in very good shape (again, please see the pictures above for all song titles and more). LABEL INFO: This original, Vee-Jay Label (1062) is in great shape with no real issues at all - I don't even see any spindle lines around the center circle, which indicates to me that it had very little actual play. VINYL INFO: Likewise, the vinyl is also extremely shiny, clean, and nice with again, no serious issues - just a few light and totally uneventful surface and/or paper lines, but nothing too noticeable. Otherwise, in my opinion the vinyl looks almost as good as the day it was 1st purchased, and again, was likely played very sparingly. JACKET INFO: Finally, the "gatefold" jacket, and all of the pictures and individual stories on each Beatle inside it, is primarily very good as well, but it does have a couple of minor flaws worth mentioning. There are a couple of small scuff marks in the corner areas and some small amount of light ring wear and/or aging, primarily on the backside - but again, nothing I'd call too serious. The jacket's front side and the inside sections are just fine (again, see pics above). INTERESTING FACTS: Although the package might not be perfect, it really isn't bad either - especially for what it is to collectors. So, please have at it and continue to check this site for more great conditioned "oldies" from my personal collection - Beatles and others - and I never use any "reserve prices". As I have already mentioned, over time I am selling off my entire collection, and there are many more to get to yet -- of all genre's, sizes, and varieties. Many of these still to be listed records are rare and hard to find, and most all of them are in near mint shape. So again, please bookmark my site and check it out from time to time. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!! If anyone ever needs more info than what is listed, please email me. I will respond! POSTAGE/HANDLING CHARGES: In the United States, the buyer agrees to pay $5.00 (Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation) for the first LP purchased, and then just $1.00 per LP after that-----so, buy in quantity and save. These are U.S. rates only, and all foreign winners will have to await an email me for their exact costs, although I will send a detailed invoice as soon as the auction is over---but, there too, it is cheaper to send multiple pieces. The charges for overseas are listed in the shipping category below--$23.00 for the 1st LP and then just $4.00 per LP after that. PLEASE NOTE: I take a great deal of pride in packaging all my mailings both safely and securely. However, I cannot be responsible for records that are lost or damaged by either US or overseas Postal Services. But, for additional fees, I will gladly ship the packages Priority Mail and/or add insurance! Please email me with either, or both, requests if this is of interest to you. Also, please continue to check out "rogersrecords" on ebay for future collectible records of all types. There are many more to come! browser does not support JavaScript.
