The Beatles "Introducing The Beatles"
This is a US vinyl pressing on Vee-Jay Records VJLP 1062 from 1964. This was their first album. It is called Version One, because it plays the original 12 songs, which included "Love Me Do" and P. S. I Love You". The back cover and the labels list "Love Me Do" and P.S. I Love You" and the record plays those songs.
The back cover has the songs on two columns. On the front cover you can see George's shadow on the right. There is printing on the spine. Inside the cover there are 1/4 inch folds at the top and at the bottom. The labels are black with a rainbow colorband and the Vee-Jay oval logo. The printing is silver with 'Long Play' and 'Microgroove" in upper and lower case letters. The album title and 'The Beatles' are above the spindle hole. It has a wide pressing ring, that is 2 3/4 inches wide. The distance between the edge of the label and where the music ends is exactly 1 inch.

About Me :
I started collecting records in 1966. I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985. I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Port Townsend, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby. And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon. On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'. My records are from a no smoking and no pets home. I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.
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 composite cardboard, with an inside wrap around folder. 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.
