Description

This Is A Detailed And Accurate History And Description of the "Introducing The Beatles" Album Offered Here.
The Following Is From BeatlesCollecting.co.uk

  Vee Jay were producing hundreds upon thousands of copies of the 'Introducing the Beatles' LP to keep with demand before they had to relinquish the publishing rights to the songs to Capitol.

Because of this, it is believed that the rainbow-perimeter label stock ran out while production was going and the word was to keep pressing copies using a black label. One plant used a plain VJ logo, another used the old oval logo and still another used a small brackets logo and started a run with that. However, after only a few hundred copies had come off the line, production had to cease so that unsaleable back copies would not be a problem.

The plant that pressed this particular version was Southern Plastics Inc. in Tennessee. This is a 100% authentic pressing and should not be confused with the extremely common all-black brackets logo fakes. The fakes list the songs 'Love Me Do' and 'P. S. I Love You' and the phrases 'Introducing the Beatles' and 'The Beatles' are separated by the spindle-hole. On authentic pressings these phrases are both above the spindle hole and the song listing includes 'Ask Me Why' and 'Please, Please Me'. The words 'Longplaying' and 'Microgroove' only ever appeared on authentic copies and the 'Audiomatrix' stamp can be seen in the dead wax.

It is widely believed that there are less than 10 or so copies of this variation in existence today.

The "Introducing The Beatles" I Offer Today Meets All Of The Above Standards Plus One!!  The "Small Brackets" Label Variation Was Housed In A Unique Cover For This Title. The Number 2 is present On The Back Cover Immediately Following The "America's Greatest Recording Artists Are On Vee-Jay Records" Blurb.

This Cover Is A Rarity In And Of Itself!! (See Pics)

And Now For The Unpleasant News: The Playability of This Record Is Poor. There Are Approximately Eight "Jumps" On Various Tracks.

The Sound Quality On Side 1 Is Below Par. Side 2 Sound Quality Is Much Better But It Has The Bulk Of The Jumps.

Ideally And Obviously, I Would Love To Offer This Super Rarity In Better Condition But It Is Not To Be. Because There May Be Only 10 Copies In Existence Is The Reason I Offer It At All.

Also, The Inherent Value And Collectability Of This Album Lies In The Very Scarce Label Variation.
