Description
Here is a great rare vintage original "Introducing the Beatles" lp on Vee-Jay.
Mono pressing. No cover.
This is rare because it was released in the United States before they were famous there.
This has been counterfeited extensively.
Some of the more common characteristics found on ORIGINAL DISCS:
- Labels have "THE BEATLES" and the title "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" above the center hole.
- Only gloss or semi-gloss rainbow/colorband labels are used on originals.
- All original labels have bright, sharp silver print.
- The vinyl trail-off -the gap between the end of the last track and the edge of the label usually measures from 7/8" to 1" wide, but never greater.
- The rainbow/colorband that circles the perimeter of an original label is of high resolution, with smooth, gradual changes in color.
- The vinyl trail-off area on over 90% of all originals has one or more of the following mechanical Stampings: 1. The term "AudioMatrix." 2. The letters "MR" inside of a circle. 3. The letters "APP" in italics. Among originals, only those made in Santa Monica lack machine Stampings. Regardless, these still have the aforementioned bright silver print and glossy labels. To date, we have never seen a counterfeit copy with machine stamping in the trail-off area.
- We have never found a counterfeit with the word "STEREO" printed on the label.
- Any copy with "STEREO" printed on the label is more than likely an original.
- All originals with black labels that do not have the rainbow colorband are printed on a flat-not glossy-paper stock.
Thanks to eskimo.com for the above information.
-This label has "THE BEATLES and the title "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" above the center hole.
-The label colorband is glossy, with high definition and gradual changes in color.
-The vinyl trail-off are of both sides is stamped with "AudioMatrix" and "MR" in a circle.
-They did not mention that most of the fakes have no green on the label circle. This one has green.
As you can see, this is an original.
Vinyl is scratchy.
Because of the deep groove pressing, it plays great with low noise and crackling.
A rare piece of Beatles history.
Thanks for looking.
Good luck and have fun.
