The Beatles – Introducing... The Beatles
Vee-Jay VJLP 1062 – Original Mono Pressing
Offered here is an original copy of Introducing... The Beatles on Vee-Jay Records, catalog VJLP 1062, one of the most famous and heavily collected Beatles LPs in U.S. record history. The vinyl is clean, plays great, and is very close to EX in my opinion. Side 1 label has initials written on it. The cover shows shelf wear, sticker residue on the side, and a name written on the back cover. The glue or residue may possibly be removable, but I will leave that up to the buyer. Also included is the original Vee-Jay inner sleeve, which grades VG- with bottom seam separation.

Matrix / Runout Details
Side 1: 63-3402-URJ 2-12-64 ARC 3-25-4
Side 2: 63-3403-3-URJ 2-12-64 3-30-4
These matrix and runout markings are important to collectors because Introducing... The Beatles exists in many variations and has been widely counterfeited over the years. Specific matrix details help buyers compare copies against known authentic pressings and distinguish between different early Vee-Jay issues.
About the Release
Released on January 10, 1964, Introducing... The Beatles was the first Beatles album issued in the United States. Vee-Jay had originally planned to release the LP in 1963, but financial problems and legal complications delayed it until just days before Capitol’s Meet the Beatles! reached stores. The album is closely tied to the Beatles’ explosive arrival in America and remains one of the most historically important releases in the group’s U.S. catalog.
For collectors, VJLP 1062 is one of the most desirable and studied Beatles records because there are so many label, cover, and track-listing variations, along with a large number of counterfeits. Original copies are sought after not only for their rarity, but also because they document the complicated pre-Capitol phase of Beatlemania in the U.S. Copies with authentic early matrices, original Vee-Jay sleeves, and strong-playing vinyl continue to attract serious interest from Beatles collectors.
