 True  S T E R E O released in 1964!  " Introducing The Beatles " One of The MOST SOUGHT AFTER LP!!
Super RARE!!!! and EVEN MORE SCARCE EMBOSSED COVER!!! The version ALSO HAS THE MISPRINTED "COFFIN-KING" ON TRACK NUMBER 4.  This is called a “Version two” Stereo album due to the fact that the album contains the songs “Please Please Me” and “Ask Me Why”.  Version one examples of this album have the songs “Love Me Do” and “PS I Love You”.  From the information that I obtained Vee Jay manufactured Stereo albums IN VERY, VERY LIMITED AMOUNTS!  Vee Jay pressed just 3% of the total number of albums for this Title in Stereo!!  This album is RARE to find and it is ULTRA RARE to find this album in TRUE NEAR MINT OR BETTER CONDITION!  Most examples that are known to exist are in VG or less condition!  This particular variation has the black label with colorband and brackets logo.  The cover has the VERY RARE “STEREOPHONIC” word embossed on the cover.

You are bidding on a genuine Beatles STEREO VJ LP "Introducing the Beatles". VERSION 2. Yes, This is the MUCH MORE rare embossed version cover that has the word "STEREOPHONIC" and "SR 1062" at the top right of the cover (VJ 1062 (2).SC4).  I played the entire lp through, and there were no skips. Just background noise and some clicks, some pops more noticeable on side 2 , also in side 1 but not overly distracting. The lp does play in Stereo. Both record and cover are guaranteed original. No reserve auction with VERY reasonable starting bid!

DESCRIPTION: 

Tracklist 

RECORD CONDITION: (G)   Side one. Has several scratches, and surface noise when playing but there is no skipping when playing the album. Side two. Has a long scratch and can hear pop when playing the record on most songs on that side but no skipping. 
JACKET CONDITION: (G) It has a split in on top and bottom corners also there is a white glue like strip on the bottom (please look at the pictures)  

• 
  

• Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.

  Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.
  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
  Very Good Plus (VG+)  
  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
  Very Good (VG) Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
  Good (G), Good Plus (GP) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
  Poor (P), Fair (F) The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
  
  Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
