Beatles EP WHITE LABEL PROMO: "ASK ME WHY / ANNA / MISERY / A TASTE OF HONEY" released as Vee Jay catalog number VJEP I-903 (DJ1) in March 1964. GORGEOUS and EXTREMELY RARE!

It should be noted that the trail off areas on this record have the identical markings of the FIRST PRESSING of the stock copy referred by Vee Jay as VJEP I-903 (01B) and pressed by MONARCH RECORDS from the very same stampers. Most of the time this version was issued without any special sleeve. Very beautiful clean label and vinyl surfaces on both sides. Only very minor surface marks not really that apparent to the naked eye (visible only when seen in certain light and obviously nothing to be concerned about).

NO SLEEVE (alone worth thousands of dollars; the "ASK ME WHY" PROMOTIONAL Vee Jay sleeve is printed on one side only and in BLACK & WHITE with the back side blank. The record entry is unusual from the bottom position).  

GORGEOUS piece of vinyl (See Photos) in Beautiful Condition. One of the finest we've seen in years (NOTE: Usually these are found to be quite 
"hammered" and marked up by Disc Jockeys). CONDITION is always very important, and when assigning TRUE VALUE to rare items like this, one must give special attention and consideration to RARITY and SCARCITY! Only certain PRICE GUIDES will provide accurate values for records like this. That is why we use only the latest guides that focus specifically on BEATLE recordings. In this case, we use the most current guide published by Stanley Panenkafor accurate descriptions and realistic values. All other guides are at least 7 to 8 years old + and do not really reflect current market values regardless of who the publisher is or what his or her claims of expertise might be. Actually, you can throw out all of the PRICE GUIDE info on HI-END items like this because the value is pretty much gauged by the current market availability.

(We do NOT use guides such as GOLDMINE due to the fact that they are too general and grossly undervalue RARE HIGH END items like this especially when it comes to major artists and/or super groups such as "THE BEATLES". You just don't see items like this very often especially in this condition in today's collector's market, but when you do, you need to grab it while its still available).

Most people do not realize that the A-Side is actually "Misery"  and "A Taste of Honey". "Ask Me Why"  is for some reason on the B-Side and is printed on 2 lines with "Anna"  below it. A great example of this RARE label variation. Play times are NOT listed on the label. Great Beatles collectible! Very RARE and Quite SCARCE in today's market and especially in this outstanding condition!

Please  take  a  moment  and  look  over  all  of  our  listings.


Please watch for SPECIAL SALES. Thanks for watching!

INSURANCE:  We do not typically provide insurance to any item due to the fact that this can amount to significant 
added cost. However, this added service is available to any buyer requesting it prior to invoicing. If items are not 
insured and are received damaged, immediately make the shipper aware of the damage. Once the item is packaged, 
inspected by, and leaves the seller, one can only hope that it is handled with care which is why insurance is always 
a good idea (if affordable and available in your country).
Grading "VINYL" records can at times be a bit difficult and is not an exact science since it is based upon someone's 
opinion. Since opinions can differ, we want all buyers to know that whenever a purchase is made and the item is 
received, if you feel that our listed grading (by seasoned professionals) differs from what you feel it should be, 
ALWAYS contact us FIRST before filing a claim with Ebay. All items are inspected prior to packaging to insure that 
our description is accurate. However, we're not perfect and once in a while, items with hard to detect defects, can slip 
through the cracks, therefore friendly dialogue between buyer and seller is always the best remedy to seeking any 
satisfactory solution. We will always make an attempt to achieve 100% customer satisfaction whenever possible. 
Remember that if you are not happy, we have not done our job! Thank you for visiting our site!

It is important to point out that when sellers on ebay set a price for any item, 
many factors are considered, one of which is the fact that the SELLER FEE 
can be up to 10% of the Sell Price.  So, when you think that the price listed 
might be higher than anticipated, please keep this added cost in mind. 
Thank you for watching!

ALL ITEMS ARE PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED! 

REGARDING OUR PREVIOUS "NO RETURN" POLICY NOW ALTERED:

Our "RETURN" policy has changed. In every auction, we describe each item in great detail and 
also post several explicit photos which illustrate all aspects of the listing. As professionals
and as experts on records specifically by THE BEATLES , we feel that unless you can point out 
any feature that indicates the item is either NOT AUTHENTICNOT PROPERLY DESCRIBED, or is
DAMAGED, you will now have 24 HOURS from time of receipt to examine it and RETURN IT. It had 
been suggested by some potential buyers that if they bought an item such as this, they may
still feel the need for a "SECOND OPINION"; or "ADDITIONAL AUTHENTICATION" by shipping it to 
others. Since we're in the business of "AUTHENTICATING" records, what would be the purpose 
for this? The photos and description provide adequate information for anyone to determine 
exactly what it is they are buying. Sending to others will not change any of its characteristics. 
Also in our opinion, based upon our own previous experience, the more people who handle it, 
re-packaged it and ship it all over the map, the more chances there are for damage or even 
becoming lost. IF ANYONE WISHES TO GET THE OPINION OF A THIRD PARTY, WE OFFER 
TO SEND AS MANY PHOTOGRAPHS AS DESIRED TO ANYONE. IF THEY CAN'T TELL FROM 
PHOTOGRAPHS WHAT IT IS THEY ARE LOOKING AT, THEN WE HAVE TO QUESTION 
THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERTISE.

So here's our offer with respect to RETURNS. Prior to your buying, we'll give you every chance 
to ask as many questions as you wish and also request additional photos. Once your questions 
are answered and photos are viewed, any knowledgeable buyer should certainly have enough of an 
idea of what you are buying. We have to assume that anyone attempting to buy this item, is knowledgeable 
enough on features which would determine its authenticity. Once it has been established that you understand 
what you're buying and make the purchase, we'll ship it to you. When you receive it you will have 24 HOURS 
as stated above to examine it or return it, ONLY if you can show that it is either not AUTHENTIC, DAMAGED, or 
NOT AS DESCRIBEDYou must contact us regarding any discrepancy IMMEDIATELY. The 24 HOUR WINDOW 
guarantees we the seller that the item will only remain in your hands and will NOT travel elsewhere, risking 
potential damage. Once the 24-HOUR PERIOD ends, you will own it. It is our belief that one whole day in the 
hands of anyone with even some knowledge of what a FAKE might look like, is certainly enough time. 


NOTE:  For over 50 YEARS our reputation worldwide regarding the authentication of records 
by THE BEATLEShas been unquestioned. Our descriptions are detailed. Our photos clearly illustrate 
the item's characteristics! If there are any doubts, feel free to ask as many questions as necessary 
or request additional photos. Any so-called "EXPERT" worth their salt, would be able to identify an 
authentic item from a FAKE from any detailed photo. As stated above, IF THEY CAN'T TELL FROM 
PHOTOGRAPHS WHAT IT IS THEY ARE LOOKING AT, THEN WE HAVE TO QUESTION THEIR 
KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERTISE.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
