Description

Up for bid here is one of the US promotional pressing that Vee-Jay distributed to radio stations during the height of Beatlemania. Promo copies were produced in smaller quantities than stock copies making them considerably scarcer. The label is relatively clean with light discoloration, the vinyl has a decent gloss with no major scratches, considered VG. The record features "Please Please Me" and backed with "From Me To You". VJ 581 combined the A sides of Vee Jays first two Beatles singles making it one of the most sought after American Beatle 45s. Original picture sleeve has some tears at top and beginning seam split, bottom center- Nice, RARE package overall
