COVER REMAINS IN ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP! & ACCOMPANYING RECORD IS RARER REVISED LABEL VARIATION WITHOUT "PRO" SUFFIX.

JIM STECK, A RADIO NEWSMAN WITH KRLA IN LOS ANGELES, AND DAVE HULL, A POPULAR DISC JOCKEY WITH THE SAME STATION, EACH CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS WITH THE BEATLES DURING THEIR 1964 AMERICAN TOUR. AFTER PORTIONS OF THESE INTERVIEWS WERE AIRED ON KRLA, VEE-JAY APPROACHED THE PAIR AND REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO RELEASE THE INTERVIEW ON AN ALBUM. IN ORDER TO FLESH OUT A COHESIVE ALBUM, VEE-JAY EMPLOYED THE SERVICES OF LOU ADLER, WHO EDITED THE INTERVIEWS APPLIED CROWD NOISES, SCREAMS AND PERCUSSION BY HAL BLAINE, A TOP FLIGHT LOS ANGELES SESSION DRUMMER.

THE BACK COVER OF THE ALBUM IS REMINISCENT OF THE 'AD BACK' COVER ON THE FIRST ISSUE OF "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" IN THAT IT FEATURES MINIATURE PICTURES OF ALBUM COVERS AND SINGLES PICTURE SLEEVES.

THE CONDITION OF THE COVER IS A STUPENDOUS MINT MINUS WITH BOLD VIBRANT COLORS AND REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP. ALL WHITE AREAS REMAIN CLEAN AND "SNOW" WHITE. ONLY MINOR FLAW IS A 2" SHRINK SLICE ON THE BACK COVER NEAR THE TOP CENTER, YET THE SHRINK REMAINS INTACT THERE AND THERE IS NO AFFECT TO THE COVER AT ALL IN THAT AREA.

THE ACCOMPANYING RECORD IS IN STELLAR AND GLEAMING UNPLAYED MINT MINUS CONDITION, WHICH FEATURES THE REVISED LABEL VARIATION WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY RARER AS FEWER COPIES WERE MANUFACTURED.

IT HAS THE SAME TYPESETTING AND TRAIL OFF AREA MARKINGS AS THE FIRST LABEL, EXCEPT THAT ITS RELEASE NUMBER DOES NOT HAVE THE "PRO" SUFFIX. (VJ 202 MR1B), SPIZER.

ONE VERY SELDOM FINDS THIS RELEASE IN SUCH WONDERFUL CONDITION, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE COVER WAS SIMPLY OPENED, AND THEN STORED AWAY SINCE NOVEMBER 1964!
