   BEATLES LP    Vee Jay - 1092 Mono   "SONGS, PICTURES & STORIES   of THE FABULOUS BEATLES"         This was released in July of 1964 as a re-packaging of VJ-1062 "INTRODUCING THE    BEATLES". The marketing staff at  Vee Jay  thought they were clever so they gave     this album the Catalog # of VJ-1092, but inside was a copy of VJ-1062, VERSION 2     of "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES". At this time, Vee Jay was getting very nervous     since they were embroiled in several lawsuits with CAPITOL RECORDS as well as     ARDMORE & BEECHWOOD. In fact in some cases they slipped copies of VERSION 1     Vinyls into this re-packaging effort. They never pressed a vinyl specifically for this     album and continued to use up their remaining inventory of existing vinyls in order     to sell something, regarding of what it was.
   The COVER is an authentic original with the left side being 2/3 of the size of the right    side, which is where the pocket for the vinyl was. Counterfeits are easily spotted as     they do NOT have the 2/3 flap and do NOT have the printing on the lower right side of    the FRONT cover which states (below the vertically placed pictures of THE BEATLES)    the words "LOOK INSIDE" (in RED), as well as the following:
   "COMPLETE STORY OF THEIR FAVORITE MALE AND FEMALE SINGER, THEIR FAVORITE       FOODS, TYPES OF GIRLS, SPORT, HOBBY, SONGS, COLORS, REAL NAME, BIRTHPLACE,      BIRTHDAYS, HEIGHT, EDUCATION, COLOR OF HAIR & EYES".      VINYL has light surface marks/scuffs/light scratches here and there, but nothing deep     (hard to find MINT). Has BRACKETS [VJ] Label which was the normal label variation for     VERSION 2 records, although, some re-packaging included different label variations      such as the Silver & Black BLOCK Style, and the Silver & Black Oval, as well as      the Black RAINBOW with Oval logo. 
    NOTE:  Vinyl has been UPGRADED to one in better condition as     of 9-5-17! It will be Vee Jay Brackets  or BLOCK version, but we     will allow the buyer to choose.
   COVER / OUTER JACKET has small amount of flaking but generally in nice condition     considering that this cover was normally found hammered as well as having a lot of hand     writing such as "I LOVE PAUL" and other silly verbiage by teen girls of the time.  Inside     of the jacket when opened is extremely clean and oddly enough, there is NO WRITING to      be found anywhere. Ring wear is present as is the case on most of these covers. Overall      we would rate this package as probably at least at VG+.
   CATEGORY:   "RARE" Collectible to be purchased as is and as described.

   If you're interested in any VINYL, CD, CASSETTE, VHS TAPE, DVD, POSTER     or any other item that you don't see listed, it doesn't mean that we don't have     it or can't obtain it for you. So please let us know. We have thousands of     items too numerous to list, therefore ... WE WELCOME ALL INQUIRIES!          It's important to point out, when sellers on ebay set a price for an item, many factors are in play. One of which is the     fact that SELLER FEES can be up to 10% of the Sell Price. So when you think that the price listed might be higher     than you think it should be, please keep all these added costs in mind. Thank you for watching!    Where does our knowledge about "VEE JAY" RECORDS originate? Although there have been several very well done     and well researched publications about the history of the "BEATLES", their recordings, and the companies who had     the unique opportunity to have had an association with them, most if not all based their research solely upon THIRD     PARTY INFORMATION and whatever existing info/documents remained available. Regarding our specific expertise     with respect to "VEE JAY", our owner was fortunate enough to have had a relative who was personal friends of both    Vivian Carter and her husband Jimmy Bracken (original"VEE JAY" owners). Their friendship goes back to their days     in the 1950s in Gary, Indiana. Since he had previous experience at that time in the recording industry, they hired him     to work at "VEE JAY". With his first hand knowledge of everything that went on there through December 1964, his     insight and experiences with respect to daily company operations and internal issues which he graciously passed on     to us, have been invaluable since they originated from his personal experience. Production & Vendor issues were his     areas of knowledge and expertise that he was personally involved with on a daily basis during the  "BEATLES"  era.     His first hand knowledge plus his personal possessions and documents retained from his years there, have been and     always will remain priceless to us. He had always stated that 1964 was very stressful for everyone there. Although he     remained friends with the Brackens, it was no longer a place he felt he could continue to work. We are thrilled to have     had the opportunity to pass on what we consider to be some of the greatest personal insight that one could ever have     imagined obtaining from a recording company of such historical significance.

   "LIMITED" RETURN POLICY ......  Actually when you look through many current auctions on EBAY you'll find we're not the only sellers who refuse RETURNS      unconditionally. It should be noted that under the category of "RETURNS", many sellers state: "THE SELLER DOES NOT OFFER RETURNS. HOWEVER YOU ARE       COVERED BY EBAY's MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU RECEIVE AN ITEM THAT'S NOT AS DESCRIBED". Our LIMITED RETURN POLICY refers to any item "AS          DESCRIBED". To define "AS DESCRIBED", we follow the rules of this site with actual limited verbiage within an auction with respect to  WHAT THE ITEM IS, WHO         THE ARTIST IS, etc. With respect to a term like AUTHENTICITY, that can only be determined by viewing detailed photos and posting accurate descriptions along       with accepted industry characteristics. This seller never consciously engages in the selling of items which are not authentic (unless specified otherwise). If a       potential buyer has questions, they may seek additional photos or more details, some of which can be provided by viewing and comparing to a known example       or referring to an accepted industry publication. As for condition of an item, for example in the case of a vinyl record we always do our best to describe it's play      surface and post detailed photos to the best of our ability as amateur photographers. (Describing the condition of a vinyl record is not an exact science and is      based on someone's visual examination and opinion of the examiner. Industry standards are followed by all of our examiners). Labels are best described by       posting detailed photos that illustrate defects if and where they exist. As for outer jackets or picture sleeves, we'll attempt to inform buyers about any possible       bends, folds, seam splits, writing, tears etc. Photos posted are the best descriptive evidence. With respect to items sold such as either a ONE-OF-A-KIND, RARE       COLLECTIBLE, ARTIFACT or MUSEUM PIECE, they're sold AS IS with limited consideration given to condition since they are unique pieces. They don't fall under       standard return guidelines unless there are damages discovered on arrival.  As stated in some of our previous auctions, we insist that prospective buyers ask      questions or request more photos PRIOR TO PURCHASE if they are uncertain in MAKING ANY OFFERS.  We also want buyers to fully understand precisely what      it is they are buying. In the specific case of Vinyl Records, where we would normally provide a detailed description with pictorial images, examination and       inspection upon its arrival should never take a buyer any more than 2 days to determine that the item received is the item purchased, and that it's condition       is as described. Therefore in that 2 day window after the item is received, the buyer is required to contact the seller to report any deficiencies. If a prospective       buyer is not 100% certain of what they are viewing on any auction they would be well advised to pass on purchasing. We don't want anyone to buy an item, pay      for it, then receive it, only for us to be required to wait 2 full weeks before it might be determined by the buyer that he or she suddenly and unexpectedly has       an issue. Blind siding sellers in this manner, will only stoke the possibility for certain dispute and argument regarding whether a potential return and/or refund       is justified. That places the seller in an awkward financial position as well and one that we would  prefer to avoid. It's been our experience in over 50 years of       collecting and selling, that there have been buyers, who we like to refer to as a "Knit Pickers", not to mention some of whom have been discovered to have       actually damaged the item purchased while in their possession (either accidentally or intentionally) and then tell us that "it was received that way". Therefore       it has become our policy that all items are always "PHOTOGRAPHED & INSPECTED" prior to packaging as a protective measure in an effort to avoid any      any potential disputes.       (This is what we feel is a FAIR POLICY. If any potential buyer feels we've either omitted or not explained something properly,       or that we are being unfair in some way, please let us know how we can improve. Suggestions are always welcome. ... 6/17). Thanks for watching!     
  DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING:     FREE SHIPPING:  When "FREE SHIPPING"  is offered, it applies to the "BUY IT NOW" price (as long as       the item is "NOT ON SALE" at the time of purchase) or ANY COLLECTIBLE OVER $50.00. (Batteries are not       included). All others shall pay calculated shipping charges to their destination. Thank you.
    ATTENTION ALL PROSPECTIVE BUYERS!  Thank you for visiting our site. We want to remind everyone       that if you currently don't happen to see what you're looking for here on our site, it doesn't mean that we     don't have it in stock or can't get it for you. We simply cannot list everything that we have all at once.       However, our current inventory includes THOUSANDS of VINYL Albums, PROMOS & 45s, CDs, DVDs,      EPs, 78s, Cassette Tapes, VHS Movies, Metal Stampers and much more in the category       that we would call "COLLECTIBLES". 
     Unfortunately, it would have been impossible to list everything, so if you are looking for something in       particular and don't happen to see it here today, simply send us a written REQUEST       and we will be happy to list it for you. 
    Thank you for watching and we look forward      to hearing from you anytime!      All vinyl records are sold on the basis of their collectibility, rarity, scarcity, with special consideration in some cases given       specifically to whom the artist happens to be. Also factored in is the physical and visual examination of play surfaces, labels,       outer jacket and the inner sleeve (where applicable)  and in most cases when there is obvious issues to the naked eye which       would most certainly affect play. This would be a part of the item's description (however unless a record is of extreme rarity       and does have value regardless of it's condition), we try to avoid ever selling severely damaged records. We point out that       "THE BEATLES" are in a category of their own and in cases with many of their extremely rare items, we've sold some of       their records even when they did have surface issues, however their value in any condition made these specific items       retain certain value and collectability and a buyer would be made aware of it before we would ever sell it. We don't play       test every vinyl since we have tens of thousands of vinyl records in stock, making it impossible to play each of them.       Please remember this when buying and always ask questions prior to finalizing any purchase.
