The Beatles - Please Please Me/Ask Me Why
Catalog Vee Jay Records - VJ 498
1963 Mono Misprint. The first Beatles record released in the states, and they added a second T, which makes this release all the more charming.

AudioMatrix stamps on the both sides.
Matrix numbers:

Media VG. Both sides of this rare record have multiple light marks, throughout. There is one very, very small mark on side A that can BARELY be felt with a fingertip, but that is the only type of anything like that on the record. Both sides of this record play through on my turntable without negative incidence. No skips, no pops, no significant surface noise. The record plays way better than it looks, and is a solid VG , aurally. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask...

I grade using Goldmine Standards.
I use brand new mailers, sleeves, and inserts to make sure your record lands your way in the same shape it was sent out in.
Rest assured, I know how to package, as well as how to accurately grade an LP. Please check my feedback if that is something you re worried about.
