As with all Beatles records on Vee-Jay, there are multiple label variations for this historic album. This is because the records were manufactured at different regional pressing plants. Exhibits filed in Vee-Jay’s New York litigation with Capitol indicate that stampers were initially sent to the same factories that produced the Beatles 1963 singles: ARP, Monarch, Southern Plastics and later ARC. The most common mono record label variation has a black label featuring an outer rim colorband and the oval logo. There are three typesetting variations. Tipeset by ARC on these black label backdrops with the outer rim colorband and white brackets logo. All stereo versions has a black label with an outer rim colorband featuring the oval logo.
1. Mono. Mono label has centered song titles and songwriters’ credits with “INTRODUCING THE BEATLES” in medium print and “Long Playing” and “Microgroove” on the label. The trail off areas have the hand etched matrix number 63-3402 on Side I and 63-3403 on Side II. Both sides have the hand etched initials “RA” and “A” as well as the machine stamped Audio Matrix and “ARP” logos. This variation was pressed by ARP.
