Description
THIS IS THE FIRST BEATLES ALBUM RELEASED IN THE USA. IT IS AN ORIGINAL VERSION ONE INTRODUCING THE BEATLES ON VeeJay RECORDS. THIS IS THE MUCH SCARCIER VERSION WITH Love Me Do & P.S. I LOVE You. THE FRONT OF THE COVER CLEARLY SHOWS GEORGE'S SHADOW, AND HAS A 1/4 INCH FLAP ON THE INSIDE. THIS IS A MONO PRESSING. THE COLUMN BACK COVER IS SOLID WITH NO SEAM OR SPINE SPLITS, AND NO WRITING, TAPE, LABELS, STICKERS, OR STAINS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RINGWEAR PRESENT ON THE FRONT, AND BOTH FRONT LEFT CORNERS ARE PUSHED WITH SOME SMALL CREASES. THE SEAMS AND SPINE HAVE SOME RUBBING, WITH MINIMAL PAPER LOSS. THE WORDS VEE JAY(TWICE) & INTRODUCING THE BEATLES ARE PRINTED ON THE SPINE AND STILL READABLE. I'LL GRADE THE COVER AS A NICE VG+. THE VINYL LABELS ARE ALSO IN VG+ CONDITION (see pics). THE RECORD IS THICK & HEAVY AND WAS PRESSED BY SOUTHERN PLASTICS INC., TENN. THE DEAD WAX HAS Audio Matrix STAMPED ON BOTH SIDES. SIDE 1 HAS 63-3402 ETCHED IN THE DEAD WAX & SIDE 2 HAS 63-3403. ALSO ETCHED ON BOTH SIDES IS 6 - 29 -63, WHICH I ASSUME IS THE DATE WHEN THIS WAS PRESSED. THE ALBUM WAS NOT RELEASED UNTIL FEB. '64 (VeeJay began producing covers during July of '63). THE VINYL DOES HAVE MANY LIGHT SCUFFS, SCRATCHES (none that can be felt), BUT IT STILL PLAYS WELL (no skips, and great sound with some pops & background noise). I'LL GRADE THE VINYL AS VG, BUT PLAYS VG+. WITH A DATE OF JUNE 29, 1963, THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE EARLIEST BEATLES 33rpm RECORDS MADE IN THE USA. This comes with an upgraded dust sleeve, not an original. I guarantee the authenticity of the vinyl & cover. I grade albums using Goldmine standards. Any questions?? Please email me, and you will receive a prompt reply. Thanks -
