Beatles 45 "FROM ME TO YOU / THANK YOU GIRL"  VJ 522 issued on the Vee Jay OVAL Label (FIRST PRESSING)  ... released on May 6, 1963.  Wonderful condition! VERY RARE!
All VJ 522 records with OVAL labels (3 versions) are FIRST PRESSINGS from May 6, 1963. The [VJ] BRACKETS label was not introduced until January 1964. In addition, the "BLACK LABEL" version with "SILVER HORIZONTAL BARS" and [VJ] BRACKETS was also released in 1964  (not in 1963 as some had previously suggested) with Thick printing. 
(SEE PHOTOS) The Vinyl play surface is very nice and like most vinyls, unassuming marks here and there. NOT perfect by any means (as we would never claim) but nice play surface; better than many we have seen in a long time and currently the best one that we have. The labels on both sides clean (OVAL  Vee Jay variation). IN ANY CONDITION, this record should be a part of any serious BEATLE  fan's collection, since it is considered the  SECOND rarest Vee Jay BEATLE 45 record produced (next to the VJ-498).
CAME WITH ORIGINAL VEE JAY SLEEVE:  VJ 522 was issued with the stock Vee Jay sleeve from 1963 (VJ RS.01 as shown in photos).
Now over 50 years old, these rare records are drying up rapidly from the collectors market rapidly. In NM condition, which would be almost flawless and extremely difficult to locate, this  record has previously been known to sell for upwards of $2,800.00 to $3,500.00. 
NOTE:  There are some BEATLES PRICE GUIDES out there that are now 7 to 8 years old and completely OUT-OF-TOUCH with the actual values of this and also the VJ-498 45rpm records.  For example, they list this record (In NM condition) at $700.00 to $800.00  which is well below the actual market value of this record.
Guides such as GOLDMINE are OK for general music, however when it comes to something specific such as super groups like THE BEATLES,  THE ROLLING STONES, and others, they are quite conservative and have a tendency to grossly under value most high end items.  Based upon the opinions of most knowledgeable experts, their BEATLES pricing is usually not reflective of current market values.

Please watch for SPECIAL SALES, or where it applies, please make your "BEST OFFER". Thanks for watching. INSURANCE:  We do not typically provide insurance to any item due to the fact that this can amount to significant added cost.  However, this added service is available to any buyer requesting it prior to invoicing. If items are not insured and are received damaged,  immediately make the shipper aware of the damage. Once the item is packaged, inspected by, and leaves the seller,  one can only hope that it is handled with care which is why insurance is always a good idea  (if affordable and available in your country). Grading "VINYL" records can at times be a bit difficult and is not an exact science since it is based upon someone's opinion.  Since opinions can differ, we want all buyers to know that whenever a purchase is made and the item is received,  if you feel that our listed grading (by seasoned professionals) differs from what you feel it should be,  ALWAYS contact us FIRST before filing a claim with Ebay. All items are inspected prior to packaging to insure that  our description is accurate. However, we're not perfect and once in a while, items with hard to detect defects, can slip  through the cracks, therefore friendly dialogue between buyer and seller is always the best remedy to seeking any  satisfactory solution. We will always make an attempt to achieve 100% customer satisfaction whenever possible.  Remember that if you are not happy, we have not done our job! Thank you for visiting our site!
It is important to point out that when sellers on ebay set a price for any item,  many factors are considered, one of which is the fact that the SELLER FEE  can be up to 10% of the Sell Price.  So, when you think that the price listed  might be higher than anticipated, please keep this added cost in mind.  Thank you for watching!
