Original Vee-Jay Records pre-release disc jockey promotional copy of The Beatles “Do You Want to Know a Secret? / Thank you girl”, the 2nd of 3 Vee-Jay’s EPs released on March 23rd, 1964. Pressed at the Monarch plant in Los Angeles, this copy has the rarest West Coast picture sleeve with a drop-down die-cut thumb tab. Unlike the majority of picture sleeves of this issue, the picture sleeve of this copy is in brilliant Near Mint (Practically Mint Minus) condition. Original pre-release blue / white Vee-Jay disc jockey VJ 587 labels with a double “Promotional Copy” banner on each side. The Monarch plant pressing vinyl as identified by the “MR in a Circle” stamp and Delta (△) stampers in the runout grooves on both sides. The full matrix numbers including the “AudioMatrix” stamp on Side 1 are as follows: Side 1 – 63-3191 △51070 AudioMatrix MR in a Circle; Side 2 – 63-3219 R in a Circle △51771 URJ MR in a Circle.

Just like the white picture sleeve of the "Please, Please Me and From Me To You" single, which is also listed at our current auction, the picture sleeves of this issue are very often found in a worn-out condition. However, the picture sleeve of this copy is in amazing Near Mint condition and doesn't have any scuffs, tears or creases. It's very clean and doesn't have any ring wear, soiling or writing. I grade the vinyl as strong Very Good Plus. It would be Excellent Minus if it weren't due to some very light non-feelable hairlines, the majority of which are found on the runout grooves. The labels are in Excellent Plus condition. They're very clean and don't have any scuffs, wear or spindle marks, containing just some very small ball pen writing "78" (possibly done at a radio station) at the bottom of each side. The vinyl sounds amazing with a crisp and punchy sound.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation.

After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country.
