Absolutely Stunning 1962 Stereo LPs which have barely had a needle on them ! The labels are PRISTINE, with NO writing, NO Rips, NO stickers, NO glue residue. The cover is MINT stunning with NO rips/tears, NO writing and NO fading !!
This Stunning EARLY STEREO LP was procured from the Walter Gates estate. It was kept in Walter Gates possession and most likely went straight from pressing plant and right into his home, never to be touched again for 62 years !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The History of Swan Records:
Swan records was founded in 1957 in Philadelphia Pa., and remained in business for 10 years. Swan Records is probably best known for releasing The Beatles' "She Loves You" in the United States. The label was co-owned by Bernie Binnick and Tony Mammarella, and featured production talents such as Frank Slay and Bob Crewe, along with Walter Gates, but it was Binnick who secured the American rights to this song during a summer vacation in England. Oddly enough, in 1964 Swan also released the German language version "Sie Liebt Dich" in the United States, which failed to make a major impact.
Swan Records original address was 1405 Locust St in Philadelphia in 1960. Legendary icon Dick Clark helped them with promotions, with many of their artists, much before Beatlemania, but then the Payola scandal hit and Clarks involvement with the company had to be terminated. In 1962 Swan moved to 1703 Jackson Street. By 1963 they moved to their last offices, located at the northwest corner of 8th and Fitzwater Streets, in Philadelphia. Swan closed its doors in 1967. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
