     Seldom seen and insanely rare original 1963 Beatles Vee Jay #522 White Label Promotional 45 titled "From Me To You bw Thank You Girl."   You frequently see the black label stock variations on Ebay, but it's not very often you see a WLP of this title - let alone one this nice.  
     Folks, this is a beauty!  It's not unplayed NM, but it could not have seen a turntable more than a handful of times.  Any wear is from handling.  The vinyl is a stunning full wet black gloss look with nice white labels without any soiling or writing.  The silver perimeter near the dead wax shows just a little hint of wear.  I would say it is storage wear and not even play wear.  The numbers are hand etched in the trail off as is the machine stamping of ARP letters denoting the Owosso, Michigan stamping plant where this was made.  The letters RA are hand etched in the dead wax and are barely visible, as is, the machine stamped  Audio Matrix logo.  
     This one passes all of the tests folks as the real deal.  The only real imperfections on this one can only be seen with a magnifying glass under a bright light - and they are light and few.  I have had a number of VJ white label promos over the years, but none were even close to the quality of this one.  My experience tells me it is a solid VG++ all the way around to almost a boarder line NM-.  You may have seen better, but I haven't held a better wlp of this title.  I have worked with all the big names in Beatles collecting, and I believe my experience and judgement is pretty accurate.  Want a world class copy of this rare record and I believe you have found it. 
      I have just started listing on Ebay again after a 2 year absence due to an illness.  I am shocked to see how Ebay has continued to push out the small specialty dealer/sellers in favor of the big volume retailers.  I cannot afford to put a reserve on this piece like I once could because the expense is literally off the charts.  Therefore I will put a starting price at NO RESERVE.  I have always noticed reserves tease buyers as much as they protect sellers.  You would think Ebay would value someone like me and make this a little more like it used to be, but that is not the case.  I promise you that if you bid on this record you will not be disappointed.  It's that special.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
