I was my High Schools Disk Jockey in 1964 and I purchased this Beatles LP in Jan of 1964 while making record purchases for the school. I'm the first and only owner of this rare Beatles LP which has been played very few times.
I guarantee this LP to be a genuine Introducing the Beatles Mono Version 1 including the cover.
Please send me a request and I will email you a video of it playing two of it's tracks.
Here is a good link to evaluate if my LP is genuine. http://www.rarebeatles.com/photospg/introvj.htm#plant
additional information regarding Introducing the Beatles LP.
Some of the more common characteristics found on ORIGINAL COVERS:
-
Covers-front and back-must have slicks that are either glossy or semi-glossy.
-
Printing on covers must be of high quality and professional looking.
-
Back cover lists contents in two columns
-
Stereo copies must meet one of the following conditions:
1. Back cover pictures 25 color photos of other Vee-Jay albums. This copy is commonly known as the "Ad Back" cover. 2. Back cover is totally blank; a completely white slick with no print whatsoever. 3. Back cover lists content in two columns, almost always containing Please Please Me and Ask Me Why. Only a couple of original copies have been verified listing Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You.
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.
-
Any item under scrutiny must measure up in all the above areas of originality testing. If either the cover, disc or label fails even one criterion of the test, then it is likely from that secluded, middle Eastern country: Itsa Faykuh!
