One of the rare copies of Introducing the Beatles which was used at a radio station. This promotional copy contains a rubber red ink stamp on the back cover which reads "D.J. COPY NOT FOR SALE" in the upper left-hand corner. Very early 1st print cover variation with two titles columns and the withdrawn "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" tracks on the rear glossy paste over slick. Original Vee-Jay with a 2.75' deep groove very 1st label variation with the oval logo and multi-colored band. The vinyl was pressed by American Record Pressing Co. in Michigan  and contains the machine stamped "ARP" and "AudioMatrix" in the runout groove on both sides. The full matrix numbers are as follows: Side 1 - 63-3402 ARP AudioMatrix A; Side 2 - 63-3403 ARP AudioMatrix A IPA. The cover is graded as Excellent Minus. Some light shelf wear on the front and back, light scuffing and wear to the corners and edges. The ring wear is minimal on the front cover and is fully absent on the back. The edges don't have splits. The spine is sturdy and has a fully readable text except for some light wear at the bottom where the catalog number is. The album comes with an original plain Vee-Jay white paper inner sleeve in Near Mint Minus condition. The condition of the vinyl is Very Good Plus due to Side II having a non-feelable 2.5' mark that doesn't affect the playback. Aside from that, the vinyl has a minimal amount of non-feelable hairlines with only some light scuffs from the original inner sleeve. The vinyl plays amazing with a crisp soft Monophonic sound and doesn't have any skips, pops or ticks, barely having any background noise, perhaps only some light one during the quiet passages which is most likely static and will go away completely if the record is professionally cleaned using a VPI cleaning machine.
