Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby
Atco 6302, 6/64, OSC
Atlantic Records was one of several companies that turned down the Beatles
in 1963. After Beatlemania gripped America the following year,
the company obtained the American rights to the four remaining songs
from the Beatles Hamburg sessions with Tony Sheridan
when it replaced MGM as the American distributor for
Deutsche Grammophon's Polydor subsidiary.
The first single paired two songs featuring Sheridan on lead vocal :
Sweet Georgia Brown and Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby.
Atlantic used three different factories to press it's first Atco Beatles single :
(1) MGM Records in Bloomfield, New Jersey; (2) Plastic Products in Memphis, Tennessee;
and (3) Monarch Records in Los Angeles, California.
This pressing offered here is the Monarch Records variation,
(ATCO 6302.02C, Spizer).
The Monarch stock copy is the rarest of the three, is pressed in styrene,
and has the machine stamped "MR" logo and hand-etched
job numbers in the trail-off areas.
