Description

This is a vintage and very historic first issue "AD BACK" version of The Beatles classic, "Introducing The Beatles" album. This is the much scarcer "STEREO" version of the album in terms of The Beatles American albums. This historical and collectible Beatles album is simply the most coveted Vee Jay Beatles album...period.
This is an original, very early 1964 Vee Jay Records version ONE "Introducing The Beatles" album in "STEREO" with the ads of other LPs on the back. Commonly referred to as simply "the ad back", this album is difficult to find in any condition. (Vee Jay VJLP/SR-1062/63-3402)
Record has VG+ labels. The vinyl surfaces are VG+ as well. They include minor scuffing and minor scratches in places but nothing deep or major. This is the "thick print version" of the record with the large print "STEREO" at the top of each label. The original, inner sleeve is included and is in VG+ condition. The folds are shown in the pics and the right side has a 5" slit in the sleeve. The record cover surfaces are VG++ front and back. The corners and sides of the cover are conservatively VG. The corners have small dings, as shown in pics. The bottom edge has the most edge wear and can be seen in pics. There are no slits or tears, just basic minimal wear to corners and sides. The overall product is an easy VG+.
All "Ad Back" covers were manufactured with front slicks containing the phrase "Printed in U.S.A." running vertically along its lower left side. The stereo covers have the white top banner with "STEREOPHONIC" centered in grey and the number SR 1062 in black in the upper right-hand corner. It has the oval Vee Jay labels. From what I can gather, the vinyl is what's considered the "1st Label" for Version 1 covers. Black Rainbow label with oval Vee-Jay logo. MR1A states words "Long Playing", "Microgroove" in upper & lower case font. "INTRODUCING ... THE BEATLES" and "THE BEATLES" both above the spindle hole. "P.S. I LOVE YOU" and "LOVE ME DO" found only on VERSION 1 copies.
