  BEATLES LP "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES"     Vee Jay Records (Version 1 MONO) VJ 1062. OVAL Label.    AUTHENTIC in every way!           VINYL has typical surface marks (very hard to find MINT). Has the OVAL Label which was      the predominant label variation for most VERSION 1s.  Any  VERSION 1 is a rarity in any      condition. Remember that finding this variation in NM condition is almost impossible. In fact      it's been our experience that most are usually found "hammered" by the teens of the era in      1964. If you're fortunate enough to ever find a VERSION 1 in NM condition, it will be quite      expensive! (There have been a few VERSION 1s  found with the [VJ] Brackets Label variation.)
   COVER / OUTER JACKET has some typical edge and ring wear. The Spine is in tact and      readable. Most importantly, it passes the all important "HONEY" test referring to the song      title on the back, "A TASTE OF HONEY"  where the "H" and "E" in "HONEY" have no         ink missing in top left corners of each letter. ALL FAKES HAVE INK MISSING THERE.      For those who are unaware, NO FAKE HAS EVER PASSED THIS TEST. The Official VJ     release date was JANUARY 10, 1964.  Contrary to popular belief, no variation of this LP      was ever released prior to this date, and definitely never at any time in 1963. (SEE PHOTOS)
   Quite collectible and valuable to any BEATLES collector!  Definitely an upgrade to any      collection!
    This was the most bootlegged* album of all time. Feature songs "LOVE ME DO &"P.S. I     LOVE YOU". It has a Vee Jay OVAL Label with RAINBOW color ring.          * Actually it was predominantly the VERSION 1 marked "STEREOPHONIC" in         Gray on White background across the top of the jacket that was the primary         target of bootleggers although some "MONO" LPs also were victims as well.

   1.) First & foremost, real copies of any version of this LP must have "INTRODUCING ... THE BEATLES" & "THE     BEATLES", ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE  on the record label. If either phrase is below the hole, it is FAKE!      No exceptions.
   2.) Keep in mind; there were only (2) official versions of this LP; VERSION 1 & VERSION 2; and never any re-    issues made by Vee Jay. Therefore wherever you see "RE-ISSUE", you can be certain that it is a FAKE.
   3.) VERSION 1; Includes: "AD BACKS", "BLANK BACKS" & "COLUMN BACKS or TITLES ON BACK" versions.     All confirmed "AD BACK" covers have "PRINTED IN USA" on the front cover printed vertically in the lower left hand    corner. If this is missing, the "AD BACK" slick was no doubt removed from another Vee Jay LP, and pasted on to the     back of a lesser valuable later version. This process often leaves tell-tale wrinkles on the border of the slick. And also     contrary to popular belief, and although songs present were originally recorded in the UK in 1963 for the original LP     entitled "PLEASE, PLEASE ME" on PARLOPHONE, NO COPY OF THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN 1963, it's a known     fact that the 1st copies of "INTRODUCING … THE BEATLES" were officially released by Vee Jay Records, not before     January 10, 1964. 
   4.) The 1st VERSION 1 COVER (outer jacket) prepared was called the "AD BACK", VJ 1062 (1) MCI. The back of this     jacket featured color images of 25 Vee Jay albums. The Front cover has the words "PRINTED IN USA" in the lower     left side printed vertically. VERSION 1 records have a significant value, however the outer jacket is really what makes     this quite a significant find. 
   5.) The 2nd VERSION 1 COVER for this LP was known as the "BLANK BACK" featuring a 100% BLANK BACK of the     outer jacket with a semi-gloss all white paper slick pasted there. Some covers (MC2A) do have "PRINTED IN USA" on the     front like the "AD BACK" while others (MC2B) do not. Once again it is the cover that makes the overall piece much more     valuable. 
   6.)  The 3rd VERSION 1 COVER was known as the "COLUMN BACK" or "TITLES ON BACK" cover. It listed song titles     on the back in (2) columns. This variation (MONO or STEREO) came with either the "Oval" logo label or Black Rainbow with     Vee Jay in typical "Brackets" [VJ]. Any authentic STEREO of this variation is very rare as there have been millions of     FAKES that have tried to mimic this cover. FAKE covers are found with records that are clearly counterfeit, and on all     labels, "THE BEATLES" always appears below the spindle hole. And if the VINYL is FAKE, the cover usually is too.      LABELS  – The 1ST label for VERSION 1 run was the Black Rainbow label with the "Oval" logo. The records included     the songs "P.S. I LOVE YOU"  & "LOVE ME DO"  replaced later on VERSION 2 pressings with "PLEASE, PLEASE ME"      and "ASK ME WHY". The VERSION 2 was not released until early February 1964. There are (3) font variations with     "Oval" labels for this version. The MR1A states words "LONG PLAYING" and "MICROGROOVE" in upper & lower case     font. MR1B doesn't mention words "LONG PLAYING" or  "MICROGROOVE", and the MR1C has these words but only in     upper case font. (A few of VERSION 1s have been found with the "BRACKETS" [VJ] logo on the label). 
    7.) VERSION 2 – Official versions must have all words "INTRODUCING … THE BEATLES" and  "THE BEATLES" above     the spindle hole. If either is below, it is always be a FAKE. The VERSION 2 featured song titles "PLEASE, PLEASE ME"      and "ASK ME WHY"  replacing "P.S. I LOVE YOU" and "LOVE ME DO"  found only on VERSION 1 copies. VERSION 2     was released in early FEBRUARY 1964. The labels varied with either the Black Rainbow "Oval" logo, or the Black Rainbow     "BRACKETS" [VJ] logo, or the Black Background with SILVER "VJ" logo, or a Black Background with SILVER "Oval" logo,     or the Black Background or SILVER "VJ" in Block Style print, or Black Background with SILVER "BRACKETS" logo [VJ] (very     rare). In rare cases, some VERSION 2 records can also be found with a 45 rpm label on them as well (Black Rainbow with     "Oval" logo). There are also some FAKES that feature Medium Sized SILVER BRACKETS [VJ] LOGO printed on an all        Black label (Real ones have the much smaller logo). All VERSION 2 covers are "Column Back / Titles on Back". No     copies of any STEREO VERSION 2 disc with a regular sized Rainbow label and the "Oval" logo are known to exist. Although     back in 1964 at Vee Jay, anything would have been possible.
   8.) SOME IMPORTANT TESTS FOR AUTHENTICITY:      TEST #1 – The most obvious visual authenticity test is the "Shadow" test. It had been thought originally that if George's     "Shadow" appeared on the right side of the front of the LP cover, this was a definitive sign of authenticity. It was later     discovered that some elaborate FAKES also had this feature, so although the shadow must be there, its appearance alone     does not define the LP as being authentic.     TEST #2 – The 100% and most conclusive test is the  "HONEY"  test. This test refers to the back of the outer jacket and the     song title "A TASTE OF HONEY". On ALL FAKES, in the letters "H" and "E", the top left corners of these letters are not     solidly printed with ink missing there. This is THE  most definitive test recognizing authenticity. FAKED covers (especially     the back panel) were poor photo copies of original VERSION 1 COLUMN BACKS, but because of their poor quality, they     were subject    to many subtle inconsistencies which can be spotted by the trained eye, and of course the "HONEY" test     illustrates one of these errors. Also, with reference to the back of the outer jacket, there are other "ink" tests however most     have never been confirmed to be 100% CONCLUSIVE and NO FAKE HAS EVER PASSED THIS TEST.      TEST #3 – A "FLAP TEST" requires the inspection of the inside of a jacket's opening.  In publications dedicated to pointing out     differences between authentic & fake records and covers, for years it had always been assumed that any cover that would be found     with NO FLAPS, had to be FAKE.  But in the 1990s some authentic covers on  WEST COAST  releases were discovered to have     NO FLAPS at all. Collectors had always assumed that all legitimate covers had to have 1/4" flaps at the inner top and bottom. But    that thinking has obviously now gone out the window. This changes conventional thinking specifically on any  VERSION 1 cover.    But it is important to point out that if and when a cover is found with NO FLAPS, it must still pass all other tests, most importantly    the 100% CONCLUSIVE "HONEY" TEST. Why did these "FLAP" discrepancies exist? Remember that Vee Jay  had hired more     than one firm with respect to the make-up and printing of these jackets  (i.e.  Coburn & Ivy Hill). So, naturally there would have to     have been subtle differences in how both of these vendors independently produced a finished product. What we've stated here was     always suspected. Realists have always surmised that there could never have been only one or two legitimate covers produced as     a sample of any production run with NO FLAPS. But without supporting documentation from Vee Jay, no one really has any idea    how many of either were actually manufactured. What we do know is that around  79,000 MONOS  and  ONLY  2,202 STEREO     VERSION 1 albums were produced which included all of the AD BACKS, BLANK BACKS & COLUMN BACKS (or "Titles On         Back"). When you consider the way that Vee Jay was being run in 1964 nothing would be surprising. With legal issues hanging     over their heads in 1964 confirmed by eye witnesses who worked at Vee Jay, there had always been a sense of urgency to move     any and all products out the door as quickly as possible regardless of appearances and characteristics.  VERSION 1 covers were     assembled some time in late December 1963 and also early January 1964. But like everything else that went on, just imagine     what the quality control must have been like in those chaotic days. Actually there were times when people actually wondered if any     authentic COLUMN BACK jackets existed at all, but obviously they do. Remember, the "HONEY" test tells all and NO FAKE has     ever passed this test. In 1964 there were no rules at all at Vee Jay.    TEST #4 – Read the "Trail Off Area". This area of the disc on most if not all FAKES is always wider than legitimate copies.     On all GENUINE copies, this area varies between 3/4” & 7/8” but on FAKES it is often anywhere from 1” to 1 1/4”. Most (but     not all) legitimate albums normally had raised relief machine stamped logos in the "Trail Off" areas. Since machine stamps     are very hard to copy or duplicate, FAKES often have no markings or only hand scratched ones. The most common machine     stamps are from AUDIO MATRIX (AR) or the ARP logo.     TEST #5 - Another trait of all FAKES is that they're pressed on much thinner vinyl. Always check for thickness by comparing     an LP that in doubt to a known legitimate copy and you'll see the difference.     TEST #6 - On the back of the jacket, the "B" in "BEATLES" at the top right in FAKES has a noticeable ink irregularity in the     lower left inner section of the letter. In the REAL covers, the "B" is printed clearly with no flaws. Check this feature against     known legitimate covers.     TEST #7 - On the back of the jacket, to the left of "MISERY", all the FAKES have a very noticeable ink irregularity in the     north/south post line. Some refer to this as an INK BUMP. It is very easily spotted.      TEST #8 - If the label's color band has NO color GREEN in its lower to middle left side, record is FAKE.     TEST #9 - Matrix Numbers are 63-3402 & 63-3403 and job numbers are 5702 and 5689 preceded by a small triangle.     Pressing IDs / Stampings are either AUDIO MATRIX, ARP, MR. Hand etchings are 6-29-63, RA or A. All others or lack there    of are FAKES.     TEST #10 - O

riginal covers 

have somewhat 

of a gloss to the paper stock used 

on back (glossiness may 

vary). But if the paper 

   used 

appears to be a FLAT WHITE STOCK, 

it's a FAKE.

  
   (SEE SECTION 14 BELOW FOR  FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF "FLAP" TEST EXCEPTIONS).
   9.) It is important to note, THE most "FAKED" LP was the STEREO VERSION 1 "Column Back" album. All FAKES feature     song titles on the outer jacket and record label: "P.S. I LOVE YOU" and "LOVE ME DO". However when you play a FAKE,     these songs are normally NOT on the disc. Instead you will probably hear "PLEASE, PLEASE ME"  and "ASK ME WHY".     (There are exceptions that have turned up playing "P.S. I LOVE YOU" & "LOVE ME DO", but in most cases, these usually turn     out to be FAKES). Also note that although outer jacket illustrates "STEREOPHONIC" at the top of the Front cover in GRAY     on a WHITE background, you won't EVER find the word "STEREO" anywhere on the record label and the recording is in     MONO as well.
   10.) Contrary to popular belief there were NEVER any "REISSUES" of VERSION 1 or VERSION 2 LPs. And if you have seen     any version of this LP with a stock photo on the front with DARK BROWN border, or the cover has a YELLOW haze to it, it is     a FAKE! Keep in mind that Vee Jay NEVER sealed these albums so if you have one that is sealed, there is good chance that     it is a FAKE! 
   11.) Recently it has come to our attention that some sellers feel they know all there is to know about this LP by posting bogus    info. For example, some state that unless the word "MICROGROOVE" appears on the label, the disc is a FAKE. NOT TRUE!      There are certain variations that do NOT have either words "LONG PLAYING" or "MICROGROOVE" on the label, and yet     they are all legit pressings. Also there are some who have stated that if you see the word "STEREO", it is not a legit pressing.     NOT TRUE!  We have NEVER seen the word "STEREO" on any fake label - ever; but if it DOES appear on the label, it' is to    be considered authentic. And also there are some who have actually stated that any STEREO OUTER JACKET that offers the     song titles "LOVE ME DO" and "P.S. LOVE YOU" is a FAKE! WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE GETTING ALL OF THEIR     INFORMATION?  Although rarely seen, all of the VERSION 1 STEREO COLUMN BACKS feature the songs "LOVE ME DO"     and "P.S. I LOVE YOU" and since there were ONLY 2,202 COPIES EVER PRESSED, when found it would be worth a small     fortune in any acceptable condition.
   12.) Jackets with RED, WHITE & BLUE DOTS located under the top back paper overlap are normally FAKES. These dots     were normally used during the printing process and they are CLEARLY VISIBLE WITHOUT THE NEED TO SEPARATE THE     PAPER FROM THE JACKET.  Disturbing the paper is NEVER recommended since it does seriously devalue the jacket once it's    separated. So, if you don't actually see any DOTS thru the PAPER, the COVER is AUTHENTIC, AS LONG AS ALL OTHER     TESTS ARE PASSED. And usually a FAKE cover will be accompanied by a FAKE disc.
   13.) If the record has a label with a RAINBOW color band without high resolution or gradual color change, it's FAKE. Some     labels are plain BLACK with SILVER lettering with either a small [VJ] Brackets label or SILVER OVAL label. These have NO     Color Band and are the exceptions. Color Bands MUST INCLUDE the color  "GREEN" or the record is a FAKE..
   14.) (RE: OUTER JACKET "FLAPS")  It's been disclosed by even the most knowledgeable experts that some WEST COAST     COVERS have been found to have NO FLAPS, yet they pass ALL THE OTHER LEGITIMACY TESTS which include the all     important 100% CONCLUSIVE "HONEY" TEST (listed above).  Therefore where there are  NO FLAPS present at all, the     jacket MUST STILL PASS ALL OTHER TESTS  for legitimacy in order to be considered AUTHENTIC. 

Also, these come with 

   an 

authentic 

disc inside, which is yet another way to assist in determining 

authenticity.

 Vee Jay  in  1964 was known to have     thrown caution to the wind when it came to any resemblance of quality control.  One reason was the fact that they had many    legal battles to overcome.  Based upon that fact alone, the company decided to rush the construction of all jackets using any     available materials in order to save money and beat their legal deadlines.  In doing so, any  STEREO disc might have been     paired with any  VERSION 1 cover.  Knowing how  Vee Jay  as a company generally operated, anything would have been     possible in 1964.  However, passing the "HONEY" test is still  THE MOST IMPORTANT validation test.  NO FAKE HAS     PASSED THIS TEST - EVER!  Always keep that in mind when examining the results of any other tests. Nothing else matters.     And one final word about "FLAPS". It is a known fact that covers with "NO FLAPS" were discovered as originating on the     WEST COAST. In fact a well know collector, presently has in his possession a "MONO" cover, and another has "2 STEREO     COVERS". Obviously these are small numbers, but we point out that if "ONE" or "TWO" exist, using common sense there     would only have been more, especially since these pass all the known authenticity tests including the 100% CONCLUSIVE     "HONEY" TEST. As screwed up as Vee Jay was at that time, they would never have had any kind of production runs in the    single digit numbers. Even for them it wouldn't have made sense.
   15.) We have had people write in and ask "WHY DO PAUL'S HANDS NOT APPEAR ON THE FRONT COVER?" on certain     versions of INTRODUCING ... THE BEATLES. This comment mainly applies to the STEREO covers where his hands NEVER     appear on any version of this LP. His hands only appear on MONOS and on STEREOS that DON'T have "STEREOPHONIC"     printed across the top of the front cover in GRAY on a WHITE BACKGROUND. Some STEREOS were also housed in MONO     covers with applied "STEREO" or "STEREOPHONIC" stickers. Only in these cases would you ever see "PAUL'S HANDS".     These stickers were WHITE with BLACK ink.
    We only hope that this sets the record straight on these very important but often misunderstood points. If anyone has any      comments or feels that our information is lacking in any way, please come forward.
   Please  take  a  moment  and  look  over  all  of  our  listings.          It's important to point out, when sellers on ebay set a price for an item, many factors are in play. One of which is the     fact that SELLER FEES can be up to 10% of the Sell Price. So when you think that the price listed might be higher     than you think it should be, please keep all these added costs in mind. Thank you for watching!    Where does our knowledge about "VEE JAY" RECORDS originate? Although there have been several very well done     and well researched publications about the history of the "BEATLES", their recordings, and the companies who had     the unique opportunity to have had an association with them, most if not all based their research solely upon THIRD     PARTY INFORMATION and whatever existing info/documents remained available. Regarding our specific expertise     with respect to "VEE JAY", our owner was fortunate enough to have had a relative who was personal friends of both    Vivian Carter and her husband Jimmy Bracken (original"VEE JAY" owners). Their friendship goes back to their days     in the 1950s in Gary, Indiana. Since he had previous experience at that time in the recording industry, they hired him     to work at "VEE JAY". With his first hand knowledge of everything that went on there through December 1964, his     insight and experiences with respect to daily company operations and internal issues which he graciously passed on     to us, have been invaluable since they originated from his personal experience. Production & Vendor issues were his     areas of knowledge and expertise that he was personally involved with on a daily basis during the  "BEATLES"  era.     His first hand knowledge plus his personal possessions and documents retained from his years there, have been and     always will remain priceless to us. He had always stated that 1964 was very stressful for everyone there. Although he     remained friends with the Brackens, it was no longer a place he felt he could continue to work. We are thrilled to have     had the opportunity to pass on what we consider to be some of the greatest personal insight that one could ever have     imagined obtaining from a recording company of such historical significance.
      ALL ITEMS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
    "LIMITED" RETURN POLICY ...     We now have a LIMITED RETURN POLICY requested by many potential buyers!  Actually when you look through many of the current auctions appearing on ebay,       you will find that we weren't the only sellers who had refused RETURNS. It should be noted that under the category of RETURNS many sellers state the "SELLER       DOES NOT OFFER RETURNS. YOU ARE COVERED BY EBAY's MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU RECEIVE AN ITEM THAT IS NOT AS DESCRIBED IN THE LISTING".       Our LIMITED RETURN POLICY refers to items AS DESCRIBED IN THE LISTING. To define  "AS DESCRIBED"  we adhere to such rules of this site with actual limited       verbiage within an auction with respect to WHAT THE ITEM IS, WHO THE ARTIST IS, SPECIFIC FEATURES, AUTHENTICITY and ORIGINALITY. With respect to terms      like AUTHENTICITY of an item, that will be determined by viewing detailed photos and posting of accurate descriptions.  This seller never engages in the selling      of items which are not authentic (unless specified such as a "copy"). If the potential buyer has a question as to the authenticity of an item, he or she may request       additional photos or further details, some of which can be provided by viewing and comparing to known examples or referring to accepted publications. As for the       condition of an item (i.e. RECORD, OUTER JACKET) for example, in the case of a vinyl record, we will do our best to describe what it's play surface may look like       and post detailed photos to the best of our ability as amateur photographers. (Always keep in mind that describing the condition of a vinyl record is not an exact       science and is based upon someone's visual examination and an opinion of an examiner. Industry standards are followed by all of our examiners). Labels will be       best described by posting detailed photos that would illustrate defects if and when they exist. As for an outer jacket or picture sleeve, we'll inform buyers about       any possible bends, folds, seam splits, writing, tears etc. Photos posted for any possible defect will be the best descriptive evidence for anyone. When it comes       to items that are sold as a ONE-OF-A-KIND, RARE COLLECTIBLE, ARTIFACT or MUSEUM PIECE, these are sold based upon what they in fact are, and with limited       consideration given to condition since they are unique pieces. These items would not fall under standard return guidelines unless there are damages discovered       upon arrival. As stated in some of our previous auctions, we will continue to insist that prospective buyers ask questions or request additional photos if they are      uncertain, PRIOR TO PURCHASING OR MAKING ANY OFFERS. We want to always make sure that buyers fully understand, exactly what it is that they are buying.       In the specific case of Vinyl Records where we would normally provide a detailed description with pictorial images, examination and inspection upon its arrival       should never take a buyer any more than two days to determine that the item received is the item purchased, and that it's condition is satisfactory to the buyer.       Therefore within the two day window of opportunity after the item is received by the buyer, he or she is required to contact the seller to report any deficiencies       importantly ignorance is no excuse. If a prospective buyer is not 100% certain of what they are viewing on an auction, they would be well advised to pass on its      purchase.  We do not want someone to buy an item, pay for it, then receive it, only for we the seller to have to wait 2 full weeks before it might be determined by       the buyer that he or she suddenly and unexpectedly has an issue. That will stoke the possibility for a potential return, along with a certain dispute, and possibly       a refund of any funds received originally by the seller that by this time may have already exhausted. That places the seller in an awkward financial position and       one that we prefer to avoid. It's been our experience in over 50 years of collecting and selling, that there have been too many buyers, who we would refer to as a      "Knit Picker", not to mention some of whom have been discovered to have in some cases, damaged the item purchased while in their possession  (accidentally       or intentionally) and then tell us that "it was received that way". Therefore it has become our policy that all items are  "PHOTOGRAPHED & INSPECTED" prior to       the process of packaging as a protective measure in an effort to avoid any potential disputes.       (This is our RETURN POLICY. If a buyer feels that we've either       omitted something or not explained something properly, let us know how we can improve. We feel that it is a fair policy which allows a buyer the opportunity to       return an item should circumstances allow for it. - 8/16). Thanks for watching!

Once again, Thank you      for watching and we look forward to hearing from you anytime!  
    All vinyl records are sold on the basis of their collectibility, rarity, scarcity, with special consideration in some cases given      specifically to whom the artist happens to be. Also factored in is a physical and visual examination of play surfaces, labels,      outer jacket and inner sleeves (where applicable)  and in most cases when there is obvious issues to the naked eye which     would most certainly affect play. This would be a part of the item's description (however unless a record is of extreme rarity     and does have value regardless of it's condition), we try to avoid ever selling severely damaged records. We point out that      "THE BEATLES" are in a category of their own and in cases with many of their extremely rare items, we have sold some      of their records even if they did have some issues, however their value in any condition made these specific items retain a      certain value and collectibility and a buyer would be made aware of issues before we would ever sell it. We don't play test      every vinyl since we have tens of thousands of vinyl records in stock, making it impossible to play each of them. Please      remember this when buying and always ask questions prior to finalizing any purchase.
