Read here about this Album:

The first Beatles album released in the U.S., Introducing...The Beatles is a slightly abridged version of Please Please Me, which had been released in the U.K. four months earlier. It includes two fewer tracks than its British counterpart, deleting "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why."  From 1963 to 1965, when Capitol Records belatedly released the material on The Early Beatles, this was the only American album containing some of the Beatles' initial recordings.

~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

This album is a GREAT collector's piece for ALL Beatles lovers!  This is the first album released in the U.S. by one of the most important rock bands of all time!  And it is one of the more rare Beatles albums! 
The album itself and its cover are in good shape.  The only blemishes include a staple in the upper left corner and some standard wear on the cover.  All seems are fine with no splits.
I have LOVED my record collection, and am sad to part with this album.  However, I have decided that the time has come to begin down-sizing my possessions.  So my loss is your gain!
Thanks for your interest!!!!  Please view all my other listings!!!

Before listing this item, I looked into whether or not it was indeed a genuine and authentic original pressing.
The following are factors that all originals MUST have; which my album has:

Authenticity for the Album:

• Label has "THE BEATLES" and the title "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" above the center hole
• Gloss or semi-gloss rainbow/colorband label
• Bright, sharp silver print.
• Vinyl trail-off (the gap between the end of the last track and the edge of the label) usually measures an 1" wide

Authenticity for the Cover:

• Cover, front and back, has slicks that are glossy
• Printing on covers is of high quality
• Back cover lists contents in two columns
• George Harrison's shadow is visible to his right
• The time is visible on both Ringo and John's watches

According to my research, the version of the cover for this album is VJ 1062 (2).MC1B, and the album is version VJ 1062 (2).MR1B

Album VJ 1062 (2).MR1B: Oval logo, Colorband label, Left-justified titles
Cover VJ 1062 (2). MC1B: Titles are on back with "Please, Please Me" including a comma
