Beatles Souvenir Of Their Visit To America Vee-Jay EP 1-903 NM-/VG+ Original 45 DJ Promo Record Issued March 1964 Vee-Jay Records  One of the Much Scarcer to find Promo Records! 
Beatles Souvenir Of Their Visit To America Vee-Jay EP 1-903 NM- DISC JOCKEY ADVANCE COPY, Blue & White Label reads : "Promotional Copy"
A nice example of this VERY RARE DJ Promo 45. Vinyl is GORGEOUS Near Mint Minus on Both Sides 1 & 2 with just a couple of light superficial lines on both sides. NM- A glossy sheen remains to the grooves, with minimal if any play time evident. Labels:  Side 1 is glossy white with very slight ring mark. NM-               Side 2 has slight staining and a marker in small circle.               Very slight ringwear mark. Label is clean otherwise. VG+ NO writing and NO handwritten "X" that designated the air-play song. Comes with plain white sleeve. Very hard to come by record!! A definite keeper for your collection!!



Souvenir Of Their Visit To America Vee-Jay EP 1-903, Released 3/64, Blue & White Label   "PROMOTIONAL COPY" These Promotional copies were issued primarily to radio stations for airplay,  and most surviving copies of these special issued discs have been treated to a wealth of play. This example is a stellar UNPLAYED AS NEW MINT, simply glorious and obvious this record has never been on a turntable. This Label variation is the VERY FIRST ISSUE of the Promo EP where all four songs are in the same size print.   (VJEP903.DJ1, Spizer). This disc was manufactured by Monarch Records, and were distributed without the special cardboard jackets (which only accompanied the stock copies).


Both Items will be carefully packed and shipped. Please contact me with any questions. Will Ship Worldwide. Rates may differ depending upon country shipped to.


Goldmine Standard Record Grading
Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.
Near Mint (NM or M-) 
A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
Very Good Plus (VG+) 
Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG) 
Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 
Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.
Poor (P), Fair (F) 
Generally worth 0-5 percent of the Near Mint price. The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon. Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
