This is an original and authentic copy of “Introducing the Beatles” #VJLP 1062 mono. It is in the version 1 format as it contains the songs “Love Me Do” and P. Vee-Jay got into a costly legal battle with Capitol and quickly lost their publishing rights. Prior to this they had replaced those two songs on version 1 with “Ask Me Why” and “Please please Me” which is referred to as Version 2. As I understand it, this is the most heavily counterfeited album of all time. We came across this album in a private collection and quickly had it authenticated by an appraiser. It IS an ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC copy. 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. Back cover pictures 25 color photos of other Vee-Jay albums. This copy is commonly known as the “Ad Back” cover. Back cover is totally blank; a completely white slick with no print whatsoever. Back cover lists content in two columns, almost always containing. Only a couple of original copies have been verified listing. 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. The letters “MR” inside of a circle. The Beatles and the title are both above the spindle hole, a very clear sign of a fake (Where the title and/or the Beatles appears under the spindle hole). A very small MR does appear inside of a circle in the deadwax. Please go through all of the pictures, and feel free to ask any questions. This record was cleaned and tested. Vinyl and cover are both in VG condition (I went low on the grading). This is a super-rare find!
