INCREDIBLY RARE...GENUINE VEE JAY MONO LP...THE BEATLES / INTRODUCING THE BEATLES...SMALL 45 SIZE LABEL WITH COLOUR BAND ...VERY SCARCE OVAL VEE JAY LOGO ....VERSION ONE WITH PS I LOVE YOU AND LOVE ME DO....COLUMN BACK TITLES.
SIMILAR RARE VERSION ONE LP LISTED AT OVER £650 ON EBAY
THESE LPs WERE PRODUCED 1964 BEFORE VEE JAY HAD ITS LEGAL BATTLE WITH CAPITOL RECORDS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PS I LOVE YOU / LOVE ME DO TRACKS.CONSEQUENTLY THE VERSION ONE OVAL LOGO VEE JAY LP WITH 45 SIZE LABEL IS ALMOST AS RARE AS HENS TEETH !!...VEE JAY RAN OUT OF NORMAL SIZED LP LABELS BUT SUCH WAS THE URGENCY TO ISSUE THE LP THAT THEY USED THE SMALL 45 SIZED LABEL ON A NUMBER OF VERSION ONE ISSUES.
RECORD COLLECTORS WILL KNOW THAT THE VEE JAY LP IS PROBABLY THE WORLDS MOST FAKED ALBUM HOWEVER THERE ARE KNOWN TESTS WHICH PROVE IF AN LP IS AUTHENTIC THIS LP PASSES ALL THE TESTS AND HAS BEEN REFERRED TO A VEE JAY EXPERT IN USA WHO HAS STUDIED MANY PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS LP AND VIEWS THIS AS AN AUTHENTIC VERSION ONE ISSUE....WITH THE ULTRA RARE SMALL 45 SIZE LABEL AND OVAL LOGO.
THE LP HAS THE FOLLOWING AUTHENTIC MARKINGS . THE GEORGE HARRISON SHADOW THE TITLE AND THE BEATLES ABOVE THE CENTRE HOLE OF THE LP THE COLOR BAND COLOURING IS PERFECT . SIDE ONE....SMALL TRIANGLE FOLLOWED BY 5702 ..."MR" MARK WITHIN SMALL CIRCLE.... SHOWING IT WAS PRODUCED BY MONARCH RECORDS. ALSO IN THE DEAD WAX THE NUMBERS 63 3402 ARE HAND ETCHED AND THE WORD AUDIOMATRIX IN VERY SMALL LETTERS IS SHOWN
SIDE TWO...SMALL TRIANGLE FOLLOWED BY 5702 X...THE MR MARK WITHIN A SMALL CIRCLE .. FOLLOWED BY THE NUMBERS 63 3403 WHICH THIS TIME ARE UNIFORM SIZE AND NOT HAND ETCHED.
THE DEAD WAX HAS A DEPTH OF 6/8 ths OF AN INCH ..AND BECAUSE OF THE SMALL SIZED 45 LABEL THERE IS THEN A SPACE OF JUST UNDER 2/8ths INCH BETWEEN THE END OF THE DEAD WAX AND THE START OF THE COLOURBAND
THE INNER IS THE ORIGINAL AD TYPE WITH 25 LP PICTURES PER SIDE. IT IS SPLIT DOWN ONE SIDE AND IS A BIT TATTY IN APPEARANCE.
THE SLEEVE IS SPLIT OPEN ACROSS THE BOTTOM AND PARTIALLY ACROSS THE TOP ...THE TOP INSIDE FLAP MEASURES ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH DEEP . ACROSS THE BOTTOM THE INSIDE FLAP STARTS OFF AT ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH DEEP AND THEN INCREASES A BIT , THEN HAS A CURVE OUT OF IT ALMOST LIKE THE CURVE SHAPE OF THE LP.....THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF THIS BEING A 100% GENUINE ITEM. YOU CAN SEE THE ISSUES WITH THE SLEEVE IN THE PHOTOS. I HAVE SHOWN CLOSE UPS OF THE TITLES WHICH PASS THE " HONEY" TEST.
COLLECTORS WILL KNOW THE NUMEROUS TESTS WHICH ARE APPLIED TO CONFIRM AUTHENTICITY AND THIS LP PASSES ALL THE TESTS .
THE LP ITSELF IS IN VG PLUS CONDITION AND PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY....IT HAS A NUMBER OF LIGHT SCRATCHES EVIDENT BUT THESE DO NOT IMPAIR THE SOUND. DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ITEM NO RETURN IS ACCEPTED...PLEASE RESEARCH THE LP AND STUDY THE DETAIL AND PHOTOS CAREFULLY SO THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ITEM I AM SELLING.
