Notes

Black rainbow label with oval logo, does not have "Microgroove and Longplaying".

Incredibly rare 'ad back' cover; the LP has the first (withdrawn) track lineup of 'Introducing The Beatles', which included 'Love Me Do' and 'P.S I Love You'. The very first run of 6000 front cover slicks says 'Printed In U.S.A' on the lower left hand corner near the spine. The print quality of the covers is excellent, with sharp photo reproduction and a semi-gloss finish. The exact lineage of the three back covers that Vee Jay produced (ad back, title back, blank back) is not known, and the collecting world has been rife with speculation and theories for years. There are known counterfeits of the stereo 'ad back' cover.

Note, for identification purposes, for this release, if evaluating the labels only, the essentially identical label (including Matrix runout information) of Discogs release The Beatles - Introducing The Beatles

    Looking for a very clean ad back cover only. Will pay well for it. Please message me.

      My copy (old and beat up found without a jacket/cover) seems closest to this version but the dead wax is: (Delta/Triangle) 5702 t1 MR (stamped and circled) 63-3402 Audio Matrix (stamped) 6-29-63 (very faint etching). Very similar to https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/The-Beatles-IntroducingThe-Beatles/release/3781724 but missing ARP stampings. Labels are black with rainbow edge and oval logo. Does NOT say Long Playing or Microgroove. Please help me determine what I have, thx.
