Description
BEATLES Christmas 45 RPM Record Sleeve 1964 ORIGINAL VEE-JAY Beatles Xmas record sleeve. Chicago's VEE-JAY Records distributed all BEATLES records in the U.S. from February 1963 to October 1964, after which industry giant Capitol Records took over. VEE-JAY printed this holiday sleeve early in October of 1964, a few weeks prior to the expiration of their distribution rights. They did this in order to make all 11 existing BEATLES 45's look "new". And it worked! Thousands of rabid BEATLES fans re-purchased 45RPM singles they already owned just to get the cool Christmas sleeve. Sleeve was designed by Hollywood graphic artist George S. Whiteman. In the intervening 50 years, these have become quite scarce. This is an original, not a reproduction. NEAR MINT condition. No tears or creases. Measures 7" square. RECORD SLEEVE ONLY! NO RECORD! Ultra rare, The Beatles we wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 45 rpm In amazing shape very close to mint and for its age immaculate. It does have something written in pencil on one side on upper left hand corner, pictured. I personally will not try to erase it but if you want to, it is just pencil. Beautiful example of Beatles memorabilia for any of you extreme collectors. Please look at all pics to see how clean and straight it is. All pictures are of actual item. Ships usps priority mail, kept in smoke free environment, any questions please ask and thank you!
