Introducing The Beatles Album / LP Colorband with the small [VJ] bracket version

$

68

Description

This auction is for the vinyl record album only - NO COVER is included.  It is a moderately fair condition copy of 'Introducing The Beatles'.   This particular variation is the rare small bracketed [VJ] with tehe colorband border, the label normally used for 45's.   As seen in the pictures, this has the non-comma 'PLEASE PLEASE ME' and the songwriters name typo under 'CHAINS', credited to Coffin-King (should be Goffin-King).   The album could probably benefit from a cleaning, but I do not have the proper products, nor would I attempt to use a home-made cleaning product on it.  It is offered for sale because there must be someone out there looking to collect examples of all of the different variations of this record.  As seen below - a NM copy of this particular variation is valuable.  While this is not a NM copy, it can serve as an example of this particular variation of this much sought after album.
