OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE NOTE : THIS RECORD WILL ONLY BE SHIPPED EXPRESS POST, FULLY TRACKABLE TO YOUR DOOR, WITH A SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY. IF YOU DONT AGREE TO THESE CONDITIONS DO NOT BID.
THIS IS A GUARANTEED 1ST MONO ISSUE VEE JAY PRESSING WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE.
IT IS THE MOST COUNTERFEITED RECORD IN HISTORY AND MANY OF THE RECORDS FOR SALE ON EBAY ARE FAKES WITH SELLERS NOT PREPARED TO GIVE BUYERS ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO VERIFY AUTHENTICITY.
THIS RECORD TICKS ALL THE BOXES AND THEY ARE THE FOLLOWING :
''INTRODUCING THE BEATLES'' and ''THE BEATLES'' ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE. COPIES OF THE LABEL WITH THESE TWO WORDINGS SEPARATED BY THE SPINDLE HOLE ARE FAKES.
COVER PRINTED BY IVY HILL LITHOGRAPH IN NEW YORK OR CALIFORNIA. CHICAGO COVERS SAY ''PRINTED IN USA'' ON THE FRONT COVER; VERTICALLY FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ALONG THE SPINE.
ALTHOUGH THE COLOUR SHADES AND TINT VARIED THE COVERS ARE VERY SHARP IN PRINT AND PHOTO CLARITY.
MOST COVERS HAVE A CHARACTERISTIC 1/4 INCH FLAP OF CARDBOARD THAT IS FOLDED OVER THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE COVER. THIS RECORD HAS THIS.
THE FRONT AND BACK COVER ARE GLOSSY WITH AN ENAMEL LIKE FINISH BUT NOT EXTREMELY GLOSSY.
VEE JAY RUSHED OUT AS MANY RECORDS AS POSSIBLE BEFORE OCTOBER 1964 INCLUDING USING THE 45 RPM LABELS. THIS RECORD HAS THE EXTREMELY RARE 45 RPM LABEL.
THE RECORD HAS THE ANGUS Mc BEAN COLOUR PHOTO WHICH WAS ALSO THE PHOTO ON PARLOPHONES  ''THE BEATLES HITS'' EP, BUT VEE JAY SHORTENED THE PHOTOS LENGTH AND REVERSED THE NEGATIVE SO THE GROUPS HAIR IS FLOWING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND THE BUTTONS ON THEIR JACKETS ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES.
GEORGE HARRISONS SHADOW IS EVIDENT ON THE FRONT COVER PHOTO.
PRESSED AT MONARCH RECORD MFG COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA. HAS THE LETTERS ''M.R'' ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD IN THE DEADWAX.
THIS PRESSING HAS ''AUDIOMATRIX'' AND A CIRCLED ''M.R'' IN THE DEADWAX ALSO.
MATRIX NUMBERS ARE CORRECT : SIDE ONE   C2463/63-3402 AND THE TRIANGLE SYMBOL WITH THE 5702A CODING.
SIDE TWO : 63-3403 AND 6-2463 AND THE TRIANGLE SYMBOL WITH THE 7202X CODING.
THE COLUMN BACK COVER HAS THE LETTERS ''H'' AND ''E'' ON THE SONG TITLE ''A TASTE OF HONEY'' CLEARLY FULLY PRINTED WITHOUT ANY SLIGHT LOSS OF INK ON THOSE LETTERS. (see photo) FAKE COVERS HAVE INK MISSING ON THE LETTERS. THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO VERIFY A FAKE COPY OF THIS RECORD.
THIS RECORD IS EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND IN ANY DESCENT CONDITION IF IT IS A GUARANTEED ORIGINAL 1ST MONO PRESSING.
THE LINN SONDEK IN THE PHOTO IS NOT PART OF THE SALE.
PLEASE LOOK EXTREMELY CAREFULLY AT THE PHOTOS AS THEY FORM A LARGE PART OF THE SALES DESCRIPTION.
THE COVER IS IN GREAT CONDITION.
THE SPINE IS IN GREAT CONDITION.
THE LABELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE USUAL SPINDLES MARKS FOR A RECORD OF THIS VINTAGE.
LP CONDITION : STUNNING PIECE OF VINYL, MIRROR GLOSS FINISHES . 
I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR HERE REGARDING MY DEFINITION OF SCRATCHES TO THE VINYL.    A SCRATCH IS VERY DEEP AND HAS DAMAGED THE RECORD GROOVE AND CAN CLEARLY RUIN THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE AS YOU HEAR CLICKS OR POPS EVERY TIME THE RECORD REVOLVES AROUND PAST THE DAMAGE IN THE GROOVE.
A SCRATCHED RECORD IS PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING WILL FIX IT OR IMPROVE THE VITAL LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
THIS RECORD HAS SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VINYL BUT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SCRATCHES.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL CLEANED HAVING BEEN FULLY SUBMERGED IN L''ART DU SON RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION. LOCKABLE HUBS WERE OVER THE LABELS SO THEY DIDN'T GET ANY FLUID ON THEM. THE RECORD WAS THEN ROTATED 20 TIMES CLOCKWISE AND ANTI- CLOCKWISE.
AFTER THE RECORD WENT THROUGH THE L''ART DU SON CLEANING FLUID PROCESS IT WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN USING BIOMOLECULAR DISTILLED WATER TO MAKE SURE THE RECORD HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESIDUE LEFT ON THE VINYL.
I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD RIGHT THROUGH ON MY REFERENCE LINN SONDEK TURN TABLE ( see photo) AND IT PLAYS SUPERBLY. I HAVE BRAND NEW RECORDS THAT SOUND NOISIER.
AS A SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTOR FOR 42 YEARS WITH A WORLD CLASS ACTIVE LINN/ NAIM HI-FI SYSTEM I AM CONFIDENT THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY I CLEAN RECORDS FOR SALE ON EBAY THIS RECORD SOUNDS AS GOOD AS ANY RECORD OFFERED FOR SALE AT (ANY) PRICE. EVEN ORIGINAL RECORDS PRICED IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
I PRIDE MYSELF IN THE SUPERB SOUND REPRODUCTION OF EVERY RECORD I SELL ON EBAY. 
PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK AND BUY WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE.
