This is a US vinyl pressing on Vee Jay 1062  from 1964.    This is the Stereo issue with Version Two songs : 'Please, Please Me' and 'Ask Me Why'.     It has the 'Stereophonic' banner on the front cover and lists the songs on the back cover in columns.    The labels are black with colorband, 'VJ' in brackets and 'Stereo' printed on the right.    The record comes in a Vee Jay Records inner sleeve.     

This is VJ 1062 (2) SR2 B in Bruce Spizer's book. 

The matrix numbers are :  Side One :  (triangle) 6313   "MR" in a circle  S 63-3402-S   'URJ"      and side Two :  (triangle) 6313 X  "MR" in a circle  S 63-3403-S    "URJ".      It is a Monarch pressing.    

This is an original record in an original cover.    The labels have 'Stereo' printed to the right on the center hole.  ( no stereo repros ever have 'Stereo' printed on the labels)    The record plays true stereo.     The colorband has all the correct colors.    'Introducing The Beatles' and 'The Beatles' are printed above the center hole.      The run out area is 7/8 inch wide.     The "MR" in a circle is machine stamped in the inner groove.     On the front cover you can see George's shadow to the right.      The left spine has the record number, the label name, the album title printed on it.     There is a 1/4 inch curved inner flat inside the cover at top and bottom.      There are no break downs in the printing on the back cover on the song title 'A Taste Of Honey'.    On the back cover there is a coma in the song title of 'Please, Please Me'.

The songs are : I Saw Her Standing There, Misery, Anna, Chains, Boys, Ask Me Why, Please Please Me, Baby It's You, Do You Want To Know A Secret, A Taste Of Honey, There's A Place, and Twist And Shout.    

Overall Condition is : Cover is VG+ /  Record is VG

The cover is VG+ with no writing and no seam splits.   There is a hint of ring wear on the front at bottom center and light wear on the back cover.    There is light wear on the bottom seam and the bottom left corner.      There is a bit of wear on the top seam at far right.     There is a tiny dent along the mouth at bottom right.      The vinyl looks VG+ and it plays VG.    There are no scuffs or scratches.     There are light handling marks and some hair lines from going in and out of the inner sleeve.    It plays with static throughout and especially at the very beginning and between the songs.       I just cleaned it and it sounds great.    The labels are clean with light spindle marks.  The record comes in a Vee Jay inner sleeve.

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally.     I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard.     Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard.       Together they are very strong and unbendable.   ( Even the postmen comment on how strong this cardboard is ! )       I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve.     The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides. 

Postage :  Weight : 1 pound 5 ounces

You have to pay for the postage.     I pre-weigh every record, so that you pay the exact amount the post office charges.   There are no handling charges.     This record will weigh 21 ounces ( 1 pound, 5 ounces ) when ready to ship.   US bidders can figure out your own postage costs for US Priority or Media Mail.    All US winners will get shipping through Paypal and an automatic email with the tracking number.      Overseas winners will get shipping by First Class Mail International.    You will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number.     I will send your record as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM : Monday thru Saturday)   I will combine shipping if you win more than one record.      If you do win more than one record, please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package.
