This Is A Detailed And Accurate History And Description of the "Introducing The Beatles" Album Offered Here. The Following Is From Vee Jay were producing hundreds upon thousands of copies of the 'Introducing the Beatles' LP to keep with demand before they had to relinquish the publishing rights to the songs to Capitol. Because of this, it is believed that the rainbow-perimeter label stock ran out while production was going and the word was to keep pressing copies using a black label. One plant used a plain VJ logo, another used the old oval logo and still another used a small brackets logo and started a run with that. However, after only a few hundred copies had come off the line, production had to cease so that unsaleable back copies would not be a problem. The plant that pressed this particular version was Southern Plastics Inc. in Tennessee. This is a 100% authentic pressing and should not be confused with the extremely common all-black brackets logo fakes. The fakes list the songs 'Love Me Do' and 'P. S. I Love You' and the phrases 'Introducing the Beatles' and 'The Beatles' are separated by the spindle-hole. On authentic pressings these phrases are both above the spindle hole and the song listing includes 'Ask Me Why' and 'Please, Please Me'. The words 'Longplaying' and 'Microgroove' only ever appeared on authentic copies read more
