In this auction:
-
“INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” LP by The Beatles
-
This is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1062.
-
This is a MONO (monaural) PRESSING.
-
It was released in 1964.
-
This is Version 2 of this LP with column back cover and includes the cuts “Ask Me Why” and “Please Please Me” which replaced “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You” that are on Version 1 of this LP.
-
This label variation is VJ 1062(2).MR5, because the LABEL has a BLACK BACKGROUND with SILVER OVAL LOGO and TEXT printed on it.
-
BOTH COVER & VINYL ARE ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC! We know this because:
1) The cover has George’s shadow and spine printing.
2) The labels have “THE BEATLES” above the spindle hole.
-
So you can bid with confidence that you are receiving the real deal and NOT a counterfeit.
-
The COVER is in VG+ CONDITION. As you can see, the FRONT COVER SLICK is NICE and CLEAN with very light wear. There is light wear on the corners. The top and bottom seams and the seams and spine are nice and strong. There is NO flaking and NO splitting on the seams and spine. The primarily white rear cover slick has very light aging/”foxing”. To summarize, there are NO SEAM SPLITS, NO FLAKING, NO TEARS, NO RING WEAR and NO WRITING on this cover.
-
The VINYL is in NICE VG CONDITION. There are numerous light surface hairlines/scuffs (none of them are “feel-able”) and LOTS OF GLOSS! There are some surface spindle trails, on the black labels (with NO damage to the labels) hat are really only visible when holding the vinyl at certain angles. There is practically no wear around the spindle hole on the labels. (Wear around the spindle hole is often seen on copies of this LP.)
