Artist: The Beatles
Album: Introducing...The Beatles
Label: Vee-Jay Records
Catalog #: VJLPS-1062
Format: Vinyl LP
Discs: 1
Dead Wax #: Side 1: △6313 (etched) MR (stamped) S-63-3402-S (etched) URJ (etched). Side 2: △6313X (etched) MR (stamped) S 63-3403-S (etched) URJ (etched).
Special Notes: This record is the Stereo, Version II vinyl with Please Please Me / Ask Me Why and has a Version I blank back cover. Cover has "Stereophonic" banner, Does NOT have "Printed in the USA" labeling on front sides or back. Vinyl label has bracketed "Vee-Jay" logo with colorband label. I personally purchased this in Minneapolis in the 1990's from a local DJ who was retiring and was selling all his records that he accumulated from working over the years at a radio station. At the time of purchase I wasn't aware of the significance of the record as I was just purchasing for personal enjoyment. I picked up many promotional and gold stamped records from his collection along with this record. I am attached to the record, but willing to part with it for this price. I do agree it makes more sense to sell the record separate from the cover since they are mis-matched, however this is exactly how I purchased it from the DJ and I can assume he had more then one copy and they got switched? Or is there a possibility that there was a combo of this sort, as both units were printed in early 1964?
Condition:

Ships in a box well protected. Photos show the exact product that you will receive!
___________________________________________________________________________
GRADING DETAILS:
Near Mint (NM) The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
Very Good Plus (VG+) A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG) Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
Poor (P), Fair (F) The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
