?????????????????????

The tremendous success of The Beatles in 1964 led to numerous repackagings of their material by the independent labels that had taken a chance on them early on when their nominal American label passed on its option in 1963. While it still controlled American rights to The Beatles' first album, Please Please Me, which it had issued in abridged form as Introducing the Beatles in 1963, Vee Jay hit upon another way of selling the same material. Here, they released a two-LP set -- the first LP is a slightly different abridgement of the Please Please Me album ("Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me" have been restored, and "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" deleted), and the second LP is a reissue of the 1963 compilation The 4 Seasons' Golden Hits. The Seasons also were now scoring hits on another label.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ?click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The records are  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The album is believed to come with its original poster, such as the one shown above, from our previous auction.

(d)          The records are believed to come in their original Vee Jay stock inner sleeves.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
