Description
These rare collectable Beatles 45s have been in my collection since the early 70s. The first 7 pieces in the lot are rare, and represent an interesting period in the career of the early Beatles, before Capitol had its firm stranglehold on the U.S. market.
Labels like Vee Jay, Swan, Atco, and Tollie were eager to ride the The Beatles wave--and ride they did.
Several of these pieces are getting extremely hard to find in this kind of shape and are exceedingly rare. Grab ‘em up where there’s still time!!! 16 records total, NO RESERVE!!!
Condition: All records (vinyl) are in Good-VG condition unless otherwise noted (See item descriptions). No markings, tears, or stickers unless otherwise noted (See pictures).
Please Please Me/From Me to You – RARE Vee Jay "581." Condition: VG/VG+, Printing is nice and clear, vinyl is VG. This is the rare early first pressing before the printing under the titles was “VG 581.” This item is getting harder to find in good condition.
Please Please Me/From Me to You – Vee Jay VJ 581. Condition: VG, No stickers, vinyl is closer to VG+
She Loves You/I’ll Get You - Swan S-4252-5 –The famous “Don’t Drop Out” pressing. This would be great for someone who has a nice copy of the pic sleeve, but needs a 45. Lavel is in Excellent shape, vinyl is VG/VG+
Love Me Do/PS I Love You – Tollie T-9008. Vinyl is VG, label has “Deal” written on the B-Side top left, doesn’t cover any printing and is unobtrusive.
Twist and Shout/There’s a Place – Tollie T 9001. Vinyl is in VG, Lable is VG/VG+ (nice and clean – See pictures).
Ain’t She Sweet/Nobody’s Child – Atco 45-603. Dime-sized tear on label A-side, right below “Atco” and above catalogue number.
A Hard Day’s Night/Rag Doll – Hit 134. This highly sought-after rarity by the “Jalopy Five” was hastily released to capitalize of Beatlemania. Try finding a copy in this condition—if you can find one art all!
Help!/I’m Down – Capitol 5476 (Picture Sleeve): Vinyl has 3 initials written in light pen on the I’m down side, does not cover any printing and is relatively unobtrusive. Help! Side looks great. Sleeve is in VG/VG- with a small price sticker lower right one and small piece of tape and tear on one side (see pictures).
Eight Days a Week/I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party - Capitol 5371 (Picture Sleeve): Record is in VG+/Excellent with vibrant label and no markings. Sleeve has small water stain in one corner that affects both sides; Lower right nickel-sized color tear (see pictures).
