<B>The Beatles - Introducing the Beatles Ad Back LP Stereo Vee-Jay 1062 (1963) Condition: VG++/VG</B></I> You've seen the many counterfeits of this release make the rounds; now take a good look at this genuine copy. Not only is it the real thing, complete with a sharply printed image of the Fabs, it has the rare "ad back" as well Here's the story in a nutshell: due to an injunction from Capitol Records, Vee-Jay was forced to remove two tracks from this LP ("Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You"), something the struggling Chicago-based label did not want to do (having already pressed up copies in both stereo and mono). A unique solution was to replace the original back cover with one featuring no song listings, only pictures of other Vee-Jay releases. Customers had no idea which songs were included, and neither did curious business rivals! Now, here's the low down on condition: the front cover graphics remain crisp and and distinct, with no obvious aging. The bottom seam shows some light scuffing from storage, and a very light storage ring from the label crest can be seen on the back cover. The disk retains the majority of original gloss, and the few minor marks on the vinyl don't result in any noticeable sound problems; in fact, the disk plays a solid VG+.
