Description
I am continuing to sell some early, rare, and rather obscure Beatles LPs from my collection. So, please check my other auctions too.
In this auction:
· “JOLLY WHAT! THE BEATLES & FRANK IFIELD ON STAGE” by the Beatles & Frank Ifield
· This LP is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1085.
· This LP was released in February of 1964.
· The LP (cover and vinyl) in this auction is the REAL THING. It is NOT a counterfeit.
1) The cover has excellent print quality without blurred letters or images.
2) The cover has the printing on the spine: “JOLLY WHAT! THE BEATLES & FRANK IFIELD VJLP1085”.
3) The vinyl has the Monarch Records logo (MR in a circle) scratched out in the trail off.
· This version has the ALL BLACK LABEL WITH “VJ VEE-JAY RECORDS” IN SILVER PRINT.
· As you probably know, Vee Jay Records, for a short period of time in 1963-1964, held the rights in the U.S. to a handful of Beatles songs that the record company recycled several times by selling the same vinyl recordings in different covers. The buying public quickly realized that they were not acquiring any new Beatles’ material in each Vee Jay album they purchased. Instead, they were buying basically the same Beatles’ tunes when they purchased “Introducing the Beatles”, “Songs, Pictures & Stories of the Fabulous Beatles” and “The Beatles vs The Four Seasons” (Beatles disk).
· With the issue of this LP, Vee Jay Records carried their misrepresentation of their Beatles’ material to a new level by stating on the cover “ON STAGE” which naturally implied to the average Beatles LP-buyer that this LP contained LIVE recordings from Beatles and Frank Ifeld concerts… which it didn’t!!!
· This LP contains the following Beatles’ tunes: “Please Please Me”, “From Me To You”, “Ask Me Why”, and “Thank You Girl”.
· The rear cover states that The Beatles and Frank Ifield were combined on this LP as they “are the most popular recording stars in Europe” (of course, at that time).
· The COVER is in STRONG VG TO WEAK VG+ CONDITION. There is light to moderate overall wear. There is some light to moderate creasing at the lower left corner and top right corner. There is also some flaking on the top and bottom seams and at the bottom of the spine. There are 3 bald corners (top and bottom of the spine and top right corner at the opening). Front cover image and printing is nice and clean with minimal wear. The rear primarily white cover is nice and quite clean! This COVER has NO SEAM SPLITS!
· SIDE ONE of the VINYL is in VG CONDITION with surface hairlines/scuffs. SIDE TWO of the VINYL is in VG- to GOOD+ CONDITION due to surface hairlines/scuffs and 4 or 5 long “feelable” scratches that will be audible when played.
· Please keep in mind that the oval or brackets VJ logo disc is most commonly found in this LP. The all-black label with silver print is found less often.

These are: Good+ (G+), Very Good Minus (VG-), Very Good (VG), Very Good+ (VG+), Near Mint Minus or Very Good++ (NM- or VG++), Near Mint (NM), Mint Minus (M-), and Mint (M or MT) to VISUALLY grade the 45s and picture sleeves I auction, so please know the descriptions of these grades before bidding.
