I have here the holy grail of the VJ label released LPs. for those whom are familiar here are the details. If you are not click the link below for more information on its rarity. Cover is NM- spine and seams have no splits there are two areas of chaffing (see photos) has made in USA on front the vinyl is in vg- condition overall. labels are VG but sound is not so good.

Version 1: The front covers of the version one LPs use the same photograph (credited to photographer Angus McBean, who also shot the Please Please Me album cover) that appears onThe Beatles Hits EP in the U.K. For the cover slick of the album, the photograph is cropped just below Paul’s hands (just above his hands on the stereo cover seen in the photo at the top of this article) and the negative is reversed. Stereo copies of the album have a white banner across the top of the jacket containing in bold all capital gray letters ‘STEREOPHONIC’ (again see top photo). Some copies have the words ‘Printed in U.S.A.’ on the front. There are 3 variations on back covers: 'Ad-Back' back cover slick forIntroducing The Beatles(Version 1) 1) Ad-Back: This back cover has no information about the music included with the record. Instead there are photo miniatures of 25 other Vee Jay albums. It has a heading across the top that reads ‘Other Fine Albums Of Significant Interest’, along with a bracketed Vee Jay logo. It is the same exact layout as one side of the inner paper sleeve that comes with the record. Apparently no other back cover had been prepared, or if it was, it was no longer available when Vee Jay elected to issue the record in January 1964. Since timing at this point was critical (due to the plan to beat Capitol to the punch by gettingIntroducing The Beatles out before Meet The Beatles!), the lack of a better back cover caused no delay. The “ad-back” covers are now considered quite rare. 'Blank-Back' back cover slick forIntroducing The Beatles(Version 1) 2) Blank-Back: This back cover also has no information about the music on the album, but instead is simply a glossy white blank cover. Some collectors believe that the blank-back covers were a transitional cover when the ad-backs had run out and the third back cover variation was still being printed. The “blank-back” covers, like the “ad-backs” are now considered quite rare. 'Titles-On-Back' back cover slick for Introducing The Beatles (Version 1) 3) Titles-On-Back (aka column-back): These back covers list the song titles in two columns. One for the side one songs and the other for the side two songs. The album title runs across the top with a bracketed Vee Jay logo centered above it. This is the most common of the three back covers for mono copies, but for stereo copies, there are only a couple of these known to exist. One side of Inner Sleeve ofIntroducing The Beatles, the other side looks like the Ad-Back Each side of the paper inner sleeve shows ads for 25 other Vee Jay albums. The print from one side was also used on the “ad-back” cover (see above). The record labels for the stereo and mono version 1 records have numerous variations. The Vee Jay logo used on all of these is either the ‘oval’ logo (see photo below) or brackets logo. One variation uses a smaller label (designed for single/45rpm) than the standard LP sized label.
