BEATLES & FRANK IFIELD RARE 1964 SEALED IN ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP EXCELLENT

Ultra rare lpThe Beatles & Frank Ifield' Original Stereo Version fetched $22,268 in an eBay 

This Third mono record variation VJ logo with left justified artist-only credits.







Interestingly, the 1964 album, known by collectors as “the Portrait cover,” by Vee Jay Records (Vee Jay VJLPS-1085), was considered to be a flop at the time of its release.

The record has only four (4) Beatles songs, of the twelve songs on the album. Eight (8) of the songs were by Australian-English easy listening/country music singer Frank Ifield.

Why's It Rare?

According to a Rare Beatles web site story; "It (The Beatles and Frank Ifield On Stage) was the last album manufactured by Vee Jay Records, before their rights to the Beatles were to expire on Oct. 10, 1964. They had taken their Jolly What! The Beatles and Frank Ifield On Stage album, of which the cover had a drawing of a British Statesman (referred by collectors as the "old man" cover) and quickly redesigned a new cover, prominently featuring a drawing of the Beatles, for a rush release. This re-issue version hardly made it to record stores, and less than 100 copies are believed to have been pressed."Has been speculation of a boot leg press but I can find no evidence of that on the web currently" Priced low according to rarity and condition 

In 1964, the record was considered to be a major flop for Vee Jay, which later helped it become a boon for collectors. An article by The Rare Beatles web site stated; "Due to it’s poor sales performance, the “Portrait Cover” version of this record has all but “disappeared” from history, making it the rarest of all of the Beatles Vee Jay albums."
