From www.beatlesagain.com: 

"NOTE: Although the Blank Back copies have been generally regarded as
promotional issues, there are some collectors and historians who now
believe them to be simply the result of an oversight at the factory.
The fact that Vee Jay rarely used, before or after this LP, blank back
covers as a designation for promos would support this theory to some
degree. Also there are individuals who claim they actually purchased
these in retail stores. Whether promos or not, they are definitely rare
and deserve their higher value."

I purchased this record album from an estate sale where there were other record albums from the same time period.  This auction is a true auction, starting at $9.99 with no reserve, so bid NOW and give yourself a great Christmas gift!  Don't miss this chance to own an authentic copy of this very rare Beatles album!

  • Buyer to pay for shipping through USPS. "Shipping" is for actual postage plus a very small amount to cover tape, printer ink, plastic envelopes if used, styrofoam peanuts or bubble wrap if used, and Delivery Confirmation. There is no handling fee.
  • I will always combine items to save my customers money on shipping. To be included in the same shipment: 1) Items must be paid for at one time. 2) Last item purchased must close within seven days of the first, and be paid for no later than eight days from the end of the first auction.
  • INSURANCE--In order to keep shipping costs down and with only 3% of my past buyers requesting insurance, insurance will NOT be included in the shipping price. If you would like insurance, please let me know at the end of the auction, and I will send you an invoice reflecting the extra charge.
  • Shipping within the USA only. Sorry, international shipping created too many headaches.

  • Shipping occurs usually 24 to 48 hours after payment is received. If you need the item by a certain date, please be sure to let me know.
  • Please note: I have NO control over the U. S. Post Office. I like to save my customers money whenever possible so I offer choices for shipping. However, if you select First Class, Parcel Post, or Media Mail, your delivery time may range from 7 to 14 days. There is a reason those methods cost less than Priority Mail.

All non-paying bidders names will be BLACKLISTED on a separate website created by sellers dedicated to BLOCKING abusive bidders from further purchases! (in addition to legal remedies listed below)
  • I reserve the right to cancel bids from bidders with negative or hidden feedback.
  • I reserve the right to cancel any transaction if I suspect fraud.
  • I DESCRIBE ALL ITEMS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. Vintage and antique items are NOT new, so do not expect them to be perfect.

All sales are final, but in the unlikely event that there is a problem, please contact me before leaving neutral or negative feedback to see if the matter can be resolved.

Therefore, please read the following: WE WILL AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE NONPAYING BIDDERS THROUGH ALL AVAILABLE AVENUES, INCLUDING EBAY, PAYPAL, SMALL CLAIMS COURT, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN YOUR JURISDICTION, AND THE US POSTAL SERVICE FRAUD UNIT.
