One of the most counterfeited records in existence. Original Vee-Jay pressings come in two main label variants: the oval logo (earliest) and the bracket logo. The first pressing (VVLP 1062) has 'Introducing The Beatles' in plain text. Genuine copies are extremely scarce.
Matrix / Runout
Genuine first pressings include 'Love Me Do' / 'P.S. I Love You' in the runout track allocation.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
Label variant: the earliest oval-logo first pressing is extraordinarily rare. The vast majority of copies claiming to be originals are either later Vee-Jay pressings, bootlegs, or outright fakes. If the price seems achievable, assume it is not a true first.
- 2
Song listing: genuine copies of the original VVLP 1062 include 'Love Me Do' and 'P.S. I Love You'. Later pressings removed these due to a licensing dispute. Fakes frequently get the track order or inclusion wrong.
- 3
Vinyl surface noise: genuine 1963 pressings have a distinctive surface character and slight crackle profile even in excellent condition. Counterfeits pressed from inferior stampers exhibit a particular harshness in the upper midrange rather than the warmth typical of early-60s US vinyl.
