The Beatles – Introducing... The Beatles

This is helpful for finding out if you have a legit or fake copy. http://rarebeatles.com/photospg/introvj.htm

ARC 3-25-4 and 3-30-4 In the deadwax. Left justified. Small "the"

I have tried all the releases but can't seem to find mine. Mine has everything like this one: rainbow label, SIDE 2, etc. but PLEASE PLEASE ME has no comma. Any help?

Ignoring the British success of the Fab Four, EMI's U.S. partner, Capitol, declined to issue the first few Beatles singles, which were instead picked up by the Chicago-based indie label Vee Jay Records. Vee Jay packaged the early singles as 'Introducing the Beatles', their first U.S. LP. During the second half of 1963 it was the only Beatles material available in America, and sold incredibly well; by 1964 a court awarded the rights to all Beatles recordings to EMI/Capitol, and the record went out of print, only to become one of the most counterfeited albums in music history.

Nowadays it seems almost every copy of this album that turns up is a fake, due to the fact that several different companies in the 60's and through the 70's manufactured an endless array of different counterfeit versions. Add those to the more than 30 different authentic versions that VJ managed to produce in 1963 and 1964, and you have quite a complicated situation for collectors and historians. More variations of this album exist than perhaps any record every issued by any artist. It is the most frequently asked about LP on the Internet, with prices ranging from $10 to $7000, and probably causes the most confusion for collectors of any Beatles album ever released. Some of these fakes are remarkably close to the originals, with the quality of some covers even equaling or exceeding that of originals, making them a little harder to authenticate. Fortunately, there are easily identifiable clues in most cases (see: www.eskimo.com/~bpentium/beatles/intro/intro.html).
