The Beatles "Please Please Me & From Me To You" VJ 581 Record/ VJ PS/ Custom PS

$

400

This is John, Paul, George and Ringo, The Beatles, singing their two-sided hits "Please Please Me" (# 3 in 1964) and "From Me To You" (# 41 in 1964) on Vee Jay 581 from 1964. This record looks NM. "Please Please Me" plays in MINT condition with no audio defects. "From Me To You" has a scratchy noisy background. This is hard for me to understand - looking at the record it looks NM but "From Me To You" plays noisy. ??? There are two picture sleeves. The picture sleeve with the white background is the Vee Jay Records picture sleeve and it is VG++ with minor wrinkling. The picture sleeve with the orange background is a custom sleeve that was made in Canada or England and it is in MINT condition. This is a one-off sleeve that was not mass produced.  All of this comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeves. Price guides suggest a valuation of $550 for this 45 and picture sleeve in NM condition. You can save $150 off the lower end of that valuation for this excellent VJ 45 and VJ picture sleeve and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve with it.

U.S. postage and handling is free on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. 

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
