The PRISTINE ORIGINAL VJ oval sleeve amazingly has NO SEAM SPLITS or Rips. This Vee Jay oval sleeve is exclusive to the VJ522.

Now over 58 years later, only few are known to have survived. Here is your chance to own one !! The condition of the record is MINT plays right through with no scratches, very glossy, showing little to no play. These VJ 522 issues were at the very beginning of Beatlemania and were often played to death, day and night. NM/Mint labels are very vibrant and free from any rips or tears, which is super rare. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Beatles second United States single, was released May 1963 with the oval labels, and Jan 1964 with the super rare bracket label.
No custom picture sleeve was ever made for these records. Instead, it was issued in an generic Oval Vee Jay Records sleeve.

Vee-Jay did not press its own records. Instead, the company had the metal parts sent to regional factories for manufacture.
Records were then sent directly from these pressing plants to distributors, who in turn sent records to retailers and other distributors.
In 1963 and January 1964, Vee Jay used three primary pressing plants and different label variations. Harder to find is the bracket label.
This issue is the second pressing of the record which has silver lettering on a black label with an outer rim colorband featuring the bracket logo. It has the (MR) symbol in its trail off areas, indicating that it was pressed by Monarch Records. One of the oldest Beatles 45 known to exist. The 45 RPM masters, mothers, and stampers of "From Me To You (master number 63-3218)" and "Thank You Girl (master number 63-3219)" were shipped to ARP, Monarch, and Southern Plastics.

All copies of VJ 522 have the master number and a barely visible "RA" hand etched into the trail off area as well as the machine stamped Audio Matrix logo. This disc manufactured by Monarch Records is easily identified by a circled (MR) symbol machine stamped in the trail off areas, which also contain a hand etched job number preceded by a "∆" symbol.

The Mega Ultra Rare bracket logo variation of this record with thick print has the (MR) symbol in its trail off areas, indicating that it was pressed by Monarch Records. The job number ∆47843 is hand etched in the trail off area of the A side and ∆47843-X appears on the B side.
It's interesting to note, the extremely early VJ pressings listed the credits as: McCartney-Lennon, before they were credited as Lennon-McCartney.
