Introducing The Beatles - VeeJay VJLP 1062 - 1964
One of the most confusing records we’ve researched to
determine both authenticity and issue version.
Following are the points we gathered from researching
quite a few sites about this album.
- George’s shadow on cover.
back of cover glued to 1/4” flap from the front.
The spine has VeeJay twice (both sides of the title)
and catalog number to the far right (lower edge of spine)
Please, Please Me (w/ comma on cover)
Please Please Me (no comma on label)
Mono cover version 2
Mono disc version 2
(4th label variation)
run off side 1 - 63-3402-1 ARC URJ
side 2 - 63-3403-1 ARC URJ
lightly etched ARC 2-11-6? (last digit illegible - Feb 11, 1964)
Allentown pressing?
both sides have a blurred machine stamp (audio matrix?)
distance between end of grooves and label (dead wax runoff) 7/8”
There is an old sticker on the label on one side (please see picture #6).
We couldn’t achieve decent photos of dead wax.
Questions and comments are welcomed.
Additional specific photos available on request.
Plain white paper inner sleeve.
Cover in G+ condition. There is some staining and scuffing,
especially near George’s head on the front cover, and staining
on the back cover also. (please see photos #2-#5).
There are no splits on the spine. Edges are worn. It’s still holding together.
An earlier owner did write the individual Beatles' names next to their pictures on the cover
Record is in Very Good condition. Expected noise but sonically sound.
WE COMBINE SHIPPING
If all of your purchases are “Media”
(Records, CDs, Books, VHS or DVDs, etc)
your shipping will not exceed $6.00 domestically
If buying multiples, request an invoice before paying.
We attempt to grade our vinyl according to Record Collector Magazine guidelines.
All records are play-graded.
MINT
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in
sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster
are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening
in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration
in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,
perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from
folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable
surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
