$

In this auction:

• “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” LP by The Beatles

• This is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1062.

• It was released in February of 1964.

• This is a MONO (Monaural) Pressing.

• This is Version 2 of the “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” LP with the column back cover and includes the cuts “Ask Me Why” and “Please Please Me” that replaced “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You” which were on Version 1 of this LP.

• The LABELS are BLACK with PERIMETER COLOR BAND and VEE JAY OVAL LOGO.

• This Version 2 issue with the oval VJ logo is NOT a common version 2 label for this LP. (The version 2 brackets-logo label is much more common.)

• BOTH COVER and VINYL ARE ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC!

1. The cover has George’s shadow and spine printing.

2. The labels have “THE BEATLES” printed above the spindle hole.

So you can bid with confidence that you are receiving the real deal and not a counterfeit.

• The COVER is in VERY STRONG VG to VG+ CONDITION. Overall, the front cover slick has light wear as you can see in the images that is primarily at the bottom . There is a very small bit of wear in the center of the front cover. The name “Malory” is written lightly in ballpoint at the top right corner of the front cover. There are a couple of very small “pushes” on two corners and some light to moderate wear on the corners at the top and bottom of the spine. The rear white slick is quite clean, but it shows some aging (light age-spotting/foxing). The seams and spine are strong.

• The VINYL is in VG to WEAK VG CONDITION. There are numerous light surface hairlines/scuffs but none are “feel-able” and the vinyl still has nice gloss. The labels have a number of spindle trails visible in the images. While the vinyl does have a lower grade, this LP with the BLACK VJ LABEL WITH COLOR BAND and OVAL LOGO LABEL is one of the tougher issues to find.

  Maybe you need a copy of this LP for your vinyl collection?
