The BEATLES 45 rpm CLEAR vinyl FAN CLUB record, 1977. Issued by private investor/fan Joe Pope. Same guy did all 7 of the Beatles Deccagone singles, plus 1 Command Performance EP, plus How do you do it Single from 1976! He did it all for the fans!! Vinyl Condition here is Goldmine EX. My highest grade! Essentially unplayed! And WHITE color labels are clean, no writing. See photos. Picture Sleeve is EX also. Not NM, a grade I don’t use. But EX means Excellent! All 7 regular Deccagone records come with common BLUE, YELLOW, RED, CLEAR, GREEN, ORANGE or PINK vinyl!! Additionally there are random irregularly issued colors: DARK-GREEN, SMOKE-GRAY, WHITE, TRANS-BROWN, SPLATTER, TRANS-GREEN. Yikes, 91 possible Collectables, I have 58 so far. AND there are numerous label colors and Font styles so HUNDREDS of total possibilities. I stopped counting after 91 color/song combos!! These 2 songs are: SURE TO FALL (a Carl Perkins cover) and MONEY (‘62 version, a cover of a hit by Barrett Strong). Note: The original background story on these Deccagone songs is there were 15 tracks recorded by the Beatles for a Decca audition on Jan. 1, 1962, in London. Brian Epstein picked the 15 songs that he thought represented their skill set at the time. But they were nervous in a studio and under-performed. Yet some magic was captured in a raw way. One take of each song. And 3 early Lennon-McCartney tracks were included. Crazy cool. All 14 Deccagone sides are MONO. And “Back to Mono” is etched in the inner matrix on 6 of 7 singles. Many people think lots of these are copies or bootlegs or pirates or fakes! I disagree!! So far as I can tell NONE are counterfeits, each is a legit Joe Pope record, maybe pressed over several years. Some sleeves seem blurred but are just poorer printings. Each has the same “west coast” thumb tab opening cut! ALL THE SLEEVE CUTS ARE THE SAME (95%)!! The last 2 records 1105/1106 have 2 different sleeves, for total of 9 various sleeves!! Some of these 14 tracks were also “live in Hamburg ‘62” singles! Including SURE TO FALL. The normal 14 Deccagone songs are Common, not Hard to Find!! Request a copy of my Top 100 Hard to Find Beatles Songs on 45 Singles list, if interested, no charge. Stereo did not become common on 45s till 1969! Request a copy of my 150 Beatles Songs in Stereo on 45 Singles Worldwide, if interested, no charge. The RARITY here is the Picture Sleeve WITH NO THUMB TAB CUT. Instead it is STRAIGHT CUT on both sides. I have 58 different Deccagone Song/Vinyl Color combination, with sleeves and every other PS has the Thumb Tab Cut. EXCEPT THIS ONE!!! See photos. Photos 1 thru 4 are the sale item. Photo 5 is a sample of the normal Tab Cut Sure To Fall side, and Photo 6 shows another Straight Cut sleeve currently on eBay. Similar price. This item Picture Sleeve always has a BLACK Title Banner. Records 1105-06 come with 2 different color banner sleeves. All are Equally available. This also comes with common White sleeve. It comes From 50+ year Beatles collector. Shipped with USPS Media Mail and Global Shipping Program. Multiple purchases ship for $5 total! Browse for others! Price reduces weekly till sold!! Best. Beatle Lew.
