The Beatles "Introducing The Beatles"
This is a US vinyl pressing on Vee Jay 1062 from 1964. This is a Mono pressing. It plays the Version One songs : 'Love Me Do' and "P. S. I Love You'. The song titles are in two columns on the back cover. The labels are black with colorband and VJ in oval. The labels are 45 size labels, because VJ ran out of album size labels.
This is a real cover. The front cover has crisp sharp printing with George's shadow on the right. The spine has printing. The inside cover folds are 1/4 inch at top and bottom. This is a real record. It has 'Introducing The Beatles' and 'The Beatles' above the spindle hole. The inner groove area is 7/8 inch wide. The record plays the right songs, including 'Love Me Do' and 'P. S. I Love You'. And the labels list the right songs. Also the colorband has all of the correct colors. So, this is a genuine version one record in a genuine version one cover.

The record comes in a Vee Jay Records inner sleeve. The inner sleeve has clear tape on all seams.
About Me :
I started collecting records in 1966. I started selling in Goldmine in 1985. I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby. And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon. My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.
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 bidders must use First Class Mail International. You will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number. ( Buyers from Brazil must assume all risks for shipping to their country. ) 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. Please wait for me to send you an invoice for all of your records in one package.
