The Beatles VJ Introducing the Beatles LP Very Rare No Comma on Cover

$

108

I am continuing to sell more Beatles and Beatles-related vinyl, mostly duplicates, from my own extensive collection. So, please check my other auctions for vinyl you may want for your own collection.

Here are the details:

·       “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” by The Beatles

·       This is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1062.

·       It was released beginning February, 1964.

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

·       The LP in this auction has the VERY RARE VEE JAY COVER THAT DOES NOT HAVE A COMMA IN THE song title “PLEASE, PLEASE ME” AT THE TOP OF THE SECOND COLUMN ON THE REAR COVER. 

·       According to the Price Guide for the Beatles American Records by Perry Cox & Frank Daniels (and I quote):

“The cover without the comma is rarer

and it increases the value of the cover”

·       Also, according to the Price Guide for the Beatles American Records, the VJ record that was issued in this cover should have Oval Vee Jay logos on black labels with color band.

·       The record in this auction does have Oval Vee Jay logos on black labels with color bands.

·        BOTH COVER and VINYL are ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC!  So you can bid with confidence that you are receiving the real deal and not a counterfeit. 

·       This is only the second cover with no comma that I’ve ever had. I sold the other one in an Ebay auction about a month ago. I’ve been collecting for 45+ years, so that should confirm the rarity of this “No Comma” Cover.

·       The COVER is in VG CONDITION. There is moderate overall wear and corner wear. There is some age and glue spotting on the rear cover and some light flaking on the bottom seam and at the top of the spine. The top and bottom corners of the spine are “bald” and the bottom right corner at the opening is also “bald”. There are small corner pushes on the top left and bottom right corners.   

·       The VINYL is in VERY STRONG VG CONDITION. There are some light surface hairlines/scuffs, but there is one “feelable” scratch on part of the last 2 tracks on side 2. The vinyl still has lots of gloss.

·       This is certainly NOT a common copy of “Introducing the Beatles” version 2 LP!!!   

·       This is a VERY RARE VEE JAY COVER and RECORD for your vinyl collection!
