IMPORTANT! This is the only ONE-OF-THESE in stock at this time!
Beatles 45 rpm WHITE LABEL PROMO: "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET / THANK YOU GIRL" released as Vee Jay catalog number VJ-587 in March of 1964. EXTREMELY RARE!
There were 2 Versions of this RARE "PROMO". One had the title on the A-side on 3 separate lines, while the other had it on 2 lines. This is the 3 line version. It should be noted that the trail off area to the A-Side has the initials "URJ", a hand etched circled "R", and the machine stamped "MR" logo. The B-Side Trail off area is identical to the trail off of the stock VJ-587 (Brackets Label) which was pressed in styrene by Monarch Records. The vinyl surfaces have minor paper slides and only light surface issues. The labels are clean white as you can see with the noted exception of the typical marking on the A-Side (SEE PHOTOS) by a Disc Jockey noting the year ('64). Of course, there is NO SLEEVE.
Usually these PROMOS are found quite hammered, but not the case here. Very RARE and a very nice addition to any serious BEATLE record collector.
Only the right PRICE GUIDES will provide accurate values for records like this. That's why we use only the latest guides that focus specifically on BEATLE recordings. In this case, we use the most current guide published by Stanley Panenka, for accurate descriptions and realistic values. All other guides are at least 7 to 8 years old + and do not really reflect current market values regardless of who the publisher is or what his or her claims of expertise might be.
(We do NOT use guides such as GOLDMINE due to the fact that they are too general and grossly undervalue RARE HIGH END items like this especially when it comes to major artists and/or super groups such as "THE BEATLES". You just don't see items like this very often especially in this condition in today's collector's market, but when you do, you need to grab it while its still available).

Please watch for SPECIAL SALES. Thanks for watching!
INSURANCE: We do not typically provide insurance to any item due to the fact that this can amount to significant added cost. However, this added service is available to any buyer requesting it prior to invoicing. If items are not insured and are received damaged, immediately make the shipper aware of the damage. Once the item is packaged, inspected by, and leaves the seller, one can only hope that it is handled with care which is why insurance is always a good idea (if affordable and available in your country). Grading "VINYL" records can at times be a bit difficult and is not an exact science since it is based upon someone's opinion. Since opinions can differ, we want all buyers to know that whenever a purchase is made and the item is received, if you feel that our listed grading (by seasoned professionals) differs from what you feel it should be, ALWAYS contact us FIRST before filing a claim with Ebay. All items are inspected prior to packaging to insure that our description is accurate. However, we're not perfect and once in a while, items with hard to detect defects, can slip through the cracks, therefore friendly dialogue between buyer and seller is always the best remedy to seeking any satisfactory solution. We will always make an attempt to achieve 100% customer satisfaction whenever possible. Remember that if you are not happy, we have not done our job! Thank you for visiting our site!

It is important to point out that when sellers on ebay set a price for any item, many factors are considered, one of which is the fact that the SELLER FEE can be up to 10% of the Sell Price. So, when you think that the price listed might be higher than anticipated, please keep this added cost in mind. Thank you for watching!
ALL ITEMS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED!
REGARDING OUR PREVIOUS "NO RETURN" POLICY NOW ALTERED:
Our "RETURN" policy has changed. In every auction, we describe each item in great detail and also post several explicit photos which illustrate all aspects of the listing. As professionals and as experts on records specifically by THE BEATLES , we feel that unless you can point out any feature that indicates the item is either NOT AUTHENTIC, NOT PROPERLY DESCRIBED, or is DAMAGED, you will now have 24 HOURS from time of receipt to examine it and RETURN IT. It had been suggested by some potential buyers that if they bought an item such as this, they may still feel the need for a "SECOND OPINION"; or "ADDITIONAL AUTHENTICATION" by shipping it to others. Since we're in the business of "AUTHENTICATING" records, what would be the purpose for this? The photos and description provide adequate information for anyone to determine exactly what it is they are buying. Sending to others will not change any of its characteristics. Also in our opinion, based upon our own previous experience, the more people who handle it, re-packaged it and ship it all over the map, the more chances there are for damage or even becoming lost. IF ANYONE WISHES TO GET THE OPINION OF A THIRD PARTY, WE OFFER TO SEND AS MANY PHOTOGRAPHS AS DESIRED TO ANYONE. IF THEY CAN'T TELL FROM PHOTOGRAPHS WHAT IT IS THEY ARE LOOKING AT, THEN WE HAVE TO QUESTION THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERTISE.
So here's our offer with respect to RETURNS. Prior to your buying, we'll give you every chance to ask as many questions as you wish and also request additional photos. Once your questions are answered and photos are viewed, any knowledgeable buyer should certainly have enough of an idea of what you are buying. We have to assume that anyone attempting to buy this item, is knowledgeable enough on features which would determine its authenticity. Once it has been established that you understand what you're buying and make the purchase, we'll ship it to you. When you receive it you will have 24 HOURS as stated above to examine it or return it, ONLY if you can show that it is either not AUTHENTIC, DAMAGED, or NOT AS DESCRIBED. You must contact us regarding any discrepancy IMMEDIATELY. The 24 HOUR WINDOW guarantees we the seller that the item will only remain in your hands and will NOT travel elsewhere, risking potential damage. Once the 24-HOUR PERIOD ends, you will own it. It is our belief that one whole day in the hands of anyone with even some knowledge of what a FAKE might look like, is certainly enough time.
NOTE: For over 50 YEARS our reputation worldwide regarding the authentication of records by THE BEATLES, has been unquestioned. Our descriptions are detailed. Our photos clearly illustrate the item's characteristics! If there are any doubts, feel free to ask as many questions as necessary or request additional photos. Any so-called "EXPERT" worth their salt, would be able to identify an authentic item from a FAKE from any detailed photo. As stated above, IF THEY CAN'T TELL FROM PHOTOGRAPHS WHAT IT IS THEY ARE LOOKING AT, THEN WE HAVE TO QUESTION THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERTISE.
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
