Notes

-- first cover known as "Ad Back" has 25 other Vee-Jay Lps showing/ Front cover has "Printed In USA" on lower left side.
-- second cover known as "Blank Back" has nothing printed on back slick / Front cover has "Printed In USA" on lower left side.
-- third cover known as "Title/Column Back" has song titles along with newer "Brackets" Vee-Jay logo showing / some front covers have "Printed In USA" showing on lower left side....most do not! (This cover has been bootlegged, genuine records have "Introducing The Beatles" and The Beatles above the spindle hole...AND the Lps are unbendable!)
-- release discontinued by end of January 1964.

-- Labels can have either "Oval Logo" or "Brackets Logo" (the "Oval Logo" being the more common of the two)

Comments and Reviews


rhythmdog ● 26th Jan 2024		The Blues Breaker: this is not the same LP, check the track listings. There are images of the version your daughter picked up at "Version 2" This version here has as the last cut on Side 1: "Love Me Do" and the first cut on Side 2: "P.S., I Love You". It does not have "Ask Me Why", nor does it have "Please, Please Me". Those are found on "Version 2" in place of "Love Me Do" and "P.S., I Love You" respectively. MOD EDIT: Images moved to correct entry.



The Blues Breaker 18th Feb 2023		I just added the all-black label variation that came with the album my daughter bought today at a consignment shop.



BEATLEJOHN 2nd Dec 2020		Tried to put the cover and label information into some kind of semblance of order...(even though volumes and websites are dedicated to this purpose)...Between Vee-Jay's hurry to get this out -and- Capitol's court injunctions, there are too many anomalies to list here (and on the subsequent issues...monaural and stereophonic!)...John



checkm8 9th Apr 2016		Just as a follow-up, my copy (described in the previous comment) is definitely a bootleg. When I made the previous comment I didn't realize that 45worlds already had an entry for the bootleg version of "Introducing The Beatles" VJLP 1062 under the following: Label: Vee-Jay (with Jolly Roger logo) Country: Bootleg My copy is identical to the bootleg copy (cover images 923350-923351 and label images 923370-923371) that was uploaded by musictom.



checkm8 12th Feb 2016		A have a copy of this album that I picked up a couple of years ago, but I'm wondering if it's a bootleg. - front cover is the same as stereo front cover {Image #488198} - back cover is the the same as the third cover variant {Image #489130} - the label has the "Brackets" Vee-Jay logo in white, with the remaining text in silver - "INTRODUCING the BEATLES" above the spindle hole - does not have "THE BEATLES " above the spindle hole (it's below the spindle hole) - the record is bendable - the label does not have "Long Playing" and "Microgroove" text - the catalog number on the label is VJLP-1062



Record Collector 23rd Jun 2015		If they only stuck with the original album cover it would've been perfect



caseellerbroek 20th Jul 2014		Alternative oval logo labels added, with titles in serif lettering. Where does this label fit in the chronology of this much counterfited record? This copy has the back cover with the titles by the way.



nicoldo64 14th Jan 2014		The New York federal District Court issued an injunction prohibiting Vee-Jay from producing or distributing any records containing the songs Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You.These songs were replaced with Ask Me Why and Please Please Me. The front cover of the album is the same as the Version One cover without “Printed In U.S.A.”. The back cover is identical to the Titles On Back variation of Version One, except for the substitution of the titles of replacement songs.
