Before Capitol’s Beatles albums became familiar across America, Vee-Jay put together Introducing… The Beatles. It has the rush of a young band finding its audience: “I Saw Her Standing There”, “Please, Please Me” and “Twist and Shout” still make it a pleasure to play. Collectors enjoy tracing the many Vee-Jay label and sleeve variations; listeners get a spirited set of early Beatles songs.
US mono VJLP 1062, with the colour-band Vee-Jay labels and the two-column song list on the back. This is the version featuring “Please, Please Me” and “Ask Me Why”. The photographed runouts show 63-3402-1 on side one and 63-3403-1 on side two, with URJ markings. Please refer to the close-up photos for the inscriptions and the exact copy offered.
Vinyl: A visibly played record with scratches, fine marks and scuffs. It has surface noise and crackle during playback, but no skips were heard. The songs remain enjoyable if you are comfortable with the sound of a well-loved vintage LP.
Sleeve: Ageing, rubbing, marks and edge wear are visible. There are pen marks on the front, areas of wear to the printed surface and small tears along the edges. No through-holes or major structural damage reported. Please examine all sleeve photos closely.
We add a fresh protective inner sleeve for the record and a fresh outer sleeve for the jacket, then pack the LP securely in a sturdy record mailer. If you would like a closer photo of any detail before purchasing, please message us — we will be happy to help.
