This has NEVER been opened and is in absolute stunning condition with no marks, tears or anything that takes away from the condition. As for the version...I will tell you what it does and doesnt have which will allow you to draw your own conclusions.
*Fakes have a brown border around the front - this one does not *Fakes have a bright yellow tint and the word "STEREO" printed in black at the upper left - this does not *Fakes do not have George Harrison's Shadow visible - You can clearly see his shadow on this one. *Some of the originals had the songs "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" still on them as this one does. *This does not have any red pixels visible at all!!!This is a GREAT addition to any collection and still has the original protective plastic cover...you cannot do better on ebay...I am listing this at a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, but I will end this auction if enough interest is not displayed close to the end of the 10 day auction.
Introducing... The Beatles was the first Beatles album released in America after Capitol Records passed on Please Please Me. It was first released by Vee-Jay Records on January 6, 1964. Essentially, this album was Please Please Me minus two tracks. Original pressings of Introducing...The Beatles did not include "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why". However, as Capitol Records, through its subsidiary, Beachwood Music, controlled the publishing rights to "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," Capitol threatened legal action against Vee Jay if Vee Jay did not cease distributing the album. Vee Jay responded by replacing the two tracks in question with "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me" on subsequent pressings. Introducing...The Beatles peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, spending nine straight weeks in that position, not quite able to knock Meet the Beatles! out of first place.
By the fall of 1964, with little other Beatles material to offer, Vee Jay attempted maintain its sales by issuing other variations of the album. On October 1, 1964, Vee Jay released The Beatles vs. The Four Seasons (Vee Jay VJDX-30), a two-record boxed set containing both Introducing...The Beatles and Golden Hits of the Four Seasons, a greatest hits album by Vee Jay's other major artist. On October 12, Vee Jay reissued Introducing...The Beatles under the title, Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles (Vee Jay VJLP 1092). Although the re-titled album featured a newly-designed record jacket, the actual record label still bore the original title of the album. Oddly, Introducing...The Beatles was still available under its original title when Songs, Pictures and Stories was released, and Billboard charted both titles simultaneously, even though the contents were identical.
By early 1965, Vee Jay's rights to the album had expired, and, on March 22, 1965, Capitol issued The Early Beatles, which contained eleven tracks that had previously been issued on Introducing...The Beatles.
