I copied this description from another seller it was the best info I could find. 

ATTENTION!!! With all of the many "BOOTLEGS" on ebay, it's very 

important to point out; this is an initial pressing of an AUTHENTIC 

"Version 2" record; NOT a BOOTLEG of the Beatles LP entitled ... 

"INTRODUCING ...THE BEATLES" officially released February of 

1964 by Vee  Jay Records (none ever in 1963).

Beatles LP "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" 

Vee Jay Records (Version 2 - MONO) VJLP-1062. 

Rainbow Brackets [VJ] Label ! Very Nice! The "REAL DEAL"!    

This was a 1st Pressing of the VERSION 2 of this LP, the most bootlegged* LP of all 

time. VERSION 2 featured the songs PLEASE, PLEASE ME and ASK ME WHY as opposed 

to a VERSION 1 which originally listed LOVE ME DO and P.S. I LOVE YOU.  

  *Actually it was predominantly the VERSION 1 marked "STEREOPHONIC" in Gray on a 

    White background across the top of the jacket that was the primary target of bootleggers 

    although     some "MONO" LPs were also victims as well. 

CONDITION:  VINYL has some minor typical surface marks but actually quite nice with very few 

issues (hard to find in absolutely MINT condition). Song titles on label are LEFT JUSTIFIED. Very nice 

disc! Most of what you will find online is usually trashed, but not this one. I would say VG+. It could use cleaning. The inner sleeve is not original. 

It should be noted that Brackets [VJ] Logo labels were the predominant variation for VERSION 2 albums. 

Once in a while, some VERSION 2s have been spotted with RARER more valuable "OVAL" Vee Jay Logo, 

making them quite collectible, but not often as the Brackets [VJ] label was most common on the VERSION 2.

CONDITION:  FRONT COVER / OUTER JACKET is quite nice, there is splitting, & surprisingly little ring 

wear for this jacket - EXCELLENT CONDITION!  Also, it passes the all important and conclusive 

"HONEY" test referring to (mainly Version1 records) the song title on the back of the jacket entitled 

"A TASTE OF HONEY" whereby the letters "H" and "E" in the word "HONEY" have no ink missing 

in their top left corners of each letter. All fakes (mainly VERSION 1s) always have ink missing 

there.  For a record issued in early 1964, this one's REALLY NICE!

It is RARE to find one of these in such nice condition.  Any version of this LP is quite collectible and 

valuable to any BEATLES collection!
