“RULES OF CONTEST: The most points for any Round is 10. Thus should you judge the Round is even you give Beatles 5 points and Four Seasons 5 points. Should you judge Four Seasons decisively win a round, you might give Four Seasons 9 points and Beatles 1 point. Total points given for each Round must never exceed 10. So – Ring the bell and set the Battle of the Century going.”
—Simple, right?

Rare, original copy of this wonderful pop-cultural oddity! Created by Vee-Jay Records (the American label which infamously scored the right to the Fab Four's first stateside releases), this set pairs Vee-Jay's first Beatles release, Introducing The Beatles, with an album of hits by famed Jersey boys Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, under the premise of a ridiculously convoluted "battle" of songs. The Beatles/Seasons rivalry faded from the consciousness pretty fast, and so did this set, making it a long sought-after collectible for fans of both bands!

Note: Previous owner's name written inside both openings and on all four labels. Purchase date written on front cover. Song titles and recording dates written on inner sleeve of Beatles record. Recording dates written next to each Beatles track on back cover. Partial seam splits on both leaves of gatefold (see photos). Does not include any of the inserts listed on the cover.

• All domestic packages are tracked. Ask us if you would like the tracking number.
• We'll combine shipping costs on multiple wins (or store purchases) to save money for the buyer.
• The automatically generated invoice provided by eBay for multiple items doesn't understand combined shipping (it just adds the individual costs together), but we'll issue a proper invoice with the reduced shipping within 16 hours.
• We are professionals and pack with extreme care: you can trust us. However, we know some customers may have specific requirements for how their items are to be packed. Please confirm any such packing requests with us before bidding to be sure we can accomodate you. Different packing materials have different weights, so if for example you want a box for an item we might normally ship in a bubble mailer, the shipping cost will probably change.

• Massachusetts residents must pay sales tax because we are a Massachusetts business.
• We accept PayPal and credit cards by phone (Visa, Mastercard and Discover only).
• We're sorry, but we cannot accept personal checks as payment.
• Winners, please contact us within four days. If we do not receive payment from you within three weeks, we reserve the right to cancel the transaction and report you as a non-paying bidder.

• Due to the mail theft epidemic in the Italian post office system, we no longer normally ship to addresses in Italy. Exceptions can be made for buyers willing to pay for Priority Mail, which is safer but much more expensive than First Class. Priority Mail can also be tracked. Please contact us if you are interested and we will provide a shipping quote.

Looking for more? In addition to our weekly auctions, we maintain a fixed-price inventory in our eBay store and on Amazon (under the name Planet Records). We also have a completely seperate inventory in the actual store (we're a real record store); you're welcome to call us if you're looking for something. Ebay disallows external links, but you can find our website easily with a quick search for “Planet Records” on your preferred search engine.
