"Introducing The Beatles" extremely rare 1964 black label w/small VJ brackets LP

Description: The Beatles "Introducing The Beatles" VJLP-1062 mono LP, this is the ultra-rare 'all black label' with small "VJ" in silver brackets - the Side 1 label is a Version One having Love Me Do as the last song (although it plays Ask Me Why), Side 2 is a Version 2, it is Spizer-cataloged as VJ 1062(1/2).MR6, and according to Perry Cox's Price Guide For The Beatles American Records (page 127) they did learn of at least 1 (one) confirmed copy of this label variation (is this the 2nd one confirmed?), the title on each label has "the" in lower case rather than upper case, also the spelling on the songwriters' credit for the 4th song on Side 1 (Chains) is correctly spelled Goffin-King, this disc was pressed by Southern Plastics in Nashville, Tennessee, it has URJ, Audio Matrix, Al, 2-6-64, and 63-3402-1 (63-3403 -1 on Side 2) in the dead wax (some markings are hard to read), for label collectors this is highly rare, the vinyl is visually VG and clean on both sides with several noticeable scratches on each side (nothing super-major) that do not affect play (this has been playgraded VG+ without any major issues - in fact it sounds pretty darn good), I would grade the labels themselves VG++ (please see photos), the cover is a solid VG+ with no seam splits, comes with the original VJ white 'advertisement' inner sleeve in VG- condition (bottom seam is completely split), this item is all original and ferociously rare. U.S. buyer to pay $4.00 and I'll ship Priority. International buyer please inquire for shipping costs (I generally use Ebay International Shipping). Insurance at the discretion of the buyer.
