Description
VEE JAY LP-1062, MONO (AD BACK) FIRST MONO PRESSING WITH "LOVE ME DO" AND "P.S. I LOVE YOU." THE COVER FEATURES ADS FOR 25 OTHER VEE JAY ALBUMS.)
COVER PHOTO IS CRISP AND CLEAR WITH AN OBVIOUS SHADOW CAST AGAINST THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S BACKDROP. THE COVER WAS MADE FROM GREY POSTER BOARD WITH 1/4 " FLAPS OVER THE TOP AND BOTTOM. BOTH "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" AND "THE BEATLES" ARE PRINTED ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE ON A GLOSSY LABEL. THE THE COLOR-BAND IS SMOOTH ON THE RAINBOW BORDER. THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL IS 1 INCH WIDE. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY "AUDIO MATRIX" IS MACHINE-STAMPED IN THE TRAIL-OFF VNYL THEREFORE VERIFYING THE ORIGINALITY AND AUTHENTICITYOF THE ALBUM.
ABOUT THE CONDITION:
THE PICTURES ARE OF THE ACTUAL RECORD: I AM SUPERSIZING SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN EVALUATION. I DID HAVE AN AUDIO TECHNICIAN CHECK OUT THE SOUND AND HE SAID IT WAS EXCELLENT WITH NO SKIPS OR EXCESS STATIC NOISE. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES BUT I WOULD SAY THE VINYL IS IN VG+ OR VG++CONDITION. THE SEAMS HAVE BEEN TAPED WITH INVISIBLE TAPE SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE SPLIT OR NOT. THE COVER HAS A FEW MINOR SCRAPES AND I WOULD SAY IT WAS IN VG CONDITION. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN EVALUATION AND I CAN SEND MORE PICTURES IF YOU'D LIKE. THE PAPER SLEEVE IS YELLOWED BUT REALLY GOOD CONDITION
SOME INTERESTING HISTORY: THIS ALBUM WAS ISSUED IN THE SUMMER OF '63 TO AN UNRESPONSIVE PUBLIC IN LIVERPOOL. THE FIRST PRESSINGS (THIS ONE) FEATURED BOTH SIDES OF THE GROUPS INITIAL CHART UK HIT "LOVE ME DO" AND "PS I LOVE YOU". WHILE THE COVER ART REMAINED THE SAME THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE ALBUM'S JACKET BACK COVER ARE KNOWN TO EXIST. ONE VARIATION, THE MOST COMMON, LISTS THE SONG TITLES IN TWO COLUMNS. A SECOND IS THE AD BACK(THIS ONE) WHICH HAS A SERIES OF REPRODUCTIONS OF TWENTY-FIVE OTHER ALBUMS FROM THE VEE JAY CATALOG AND A THIRD ONE IS COMPLETELY BLANK. THE COVERS FOR THE LATTER TWO VARIATIONS (INCLUDING THIS ONE) ARE AMONG THE RAREST AND MOST EXPENSIVE COLLECTIBLE ALBUMS IN THE WORLD. AFTER THE FAB FOUR BECAME ENORMOUSLY POPULAR AND CAPITOL RECORDS ACQUIRED THE GROUP THEY BEGAN SELLING MILLIONS OF RECORDS--CONSEQUENTLY THE VALUES ARE LESS IN THE COLLECTIBLE MARKET.
