    I just today--well, yesterday now--found a mono copy of INTRODUCING THE BEATLES on Vee-Jay. It has the same track listing as PLEASE PLEASE ME,
    but I'm glad to have it in my collection.

    There were several different bootleg pressings of the Vee Jay album. I
    think the Vee Jay album only has 12 songs while "Please Please Me" has
    14 songs.

    If you want to check which pressing you have, what is written in the
    dead wax on each side (the middle of the record in the space between the
    last track on that side and the label).

    The song lineup above is correct for the American "Introducing The
    Beatles" album on Vee Jay

    However the lineup for the earlier original "Please Please Me" UK album
    on Parlophone has two more tracks

    Yup, that's the track listing of my copy.

    Until Sgt. Pepper (or thereabouts) British and American Beatles lps were different, 12 songs on American releses and 14 songs on British releases, and they varied a bit on which songs were included. The "Rubber Soul" album was rather different depending on which side of the Atlantic it was sold. IIRC,
    the same was true of other bands' LPs, too.

    It has 12 tracks, along with an original Vee-Jay inner sleeve.

    The Vee Jay inner sleeve eliminates the chances of it being a bootleg.

    If you want to check which pressing you have, what is written in the
    dead wax on each side (the middle of the record in the space between the
    last track on that side and the label).

    The deadwax has a date written in it: 2-6-64. Unfortunately, with my
    aging eyes, I can't make out the matrix number.

    This may be your pressing.

    Even tho it was very similar to their debut UK LP I remember many copies
    of the US "Introducing The Beatles" (Vee Jay) and the even bigger "Meet
    The Beatles" (Capitol) albums being imported into Britain and appearing
    in certain London locations

    Yup, it's VJLP 1062. It's also in excellent condition, which (per
    Discogs) makes it worth about $50. That was slightly more than I paid
    for it.

    Check out the label closely to see if it's exactly the same. There are
    many variations of this album with only slight differences.
