Incredibly rare and super collectible one of the re-packaged versions of The Beatles Introducing the Beatles: Songs, Pictures & Stories, Original 1st US Stereo Release Version 2. Original thick cardboard unique ¾, 8-inch fold-over gatefold cover (front flap of the cover is shorter than the back flap). The front cover has an ultra rare, confirming displaying the record's stereo sound format, original red rectangular sticker with 'Stereo' in black affixed to the cover. The cover is still in its original loose-fitting protective "Sears Roebuck And Co.' baggy with the red Sears logo in opposite corners. The Stereo version of this album is significantly rarer than its Mono counterpart, considering that less than only 2% of this album sold were Stereo.

Centered song titles and credits, including the "Coffin-King" misprint, as oppose to the correct spelling "Goffin-King", along with "Microgroove" and "Long Playing" banners.

The trail-off vinyl includes the "S" suffix before the matrix numbers, referring to the Stereo format of this copy. The matrix numbers also contain the "AudioMatrix" stamp, the identifier of Audiomatrix Inc., New York, along with a handwritten manufacture date stamp "1-24-64" on both sides in the trail-off vinyl and "URJ" stamp in the dead wax, identifying this pressing as a Universal Recording Studios mastering.

POLICY:

Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid.
