label SR 1062 on outer jacket. Pressed by MONARCH Records in Los Angeles,

FAKE The outer jacket passes the 100 CONCLUSIVE HONEY Test which NO
FAKE HAS EVER PASSED making this LP cover Disc unquestionably authentic.
Check out all the photos posted .
WEST COAST OUTER JACKET: ACCOUNTS FOR 75 of TOTAL VALUE
Features the 100 CONCLUSIVE HONEY TEST, one that NO FAKE HAS EVER PASSED. Collectors know that in buying
items like this, while authentic STEREO discs must pass tests of their own, and have individual value, much of the value of the
entire piece is in this extremely RARE JACKET SOME EDGE WEAR SEE PHOTOS . As for specifics, the SPINE is intact,
there is a small 3/4 SPLIT at the top bottom by the opening, but NO WRITING. Seams are intact. MILD WEAR on the lower
front is present by PAUL but this is quite typical of these jackets. Overall it is still quite clean Construction is consistent with the
rigid heavy material used on all known original jackets. Knowledgeable collectors are aware that AUTHENTIC versions of this
jacket are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in any condition Unfortunately, there is no actual statistic that would tell us how many of
these jackets were ever constructed, but certainly far fewer than AD BACKS or BLANK BACKS . On all FAKES it s the back
cover that will tell you all that you need to know with respect to authenticity as long as you know what to look for. If these jackets
weren t already considered rare enough, WEST COAST versions like this one are even rarer. The owner had obtained this album
as is from someone in the San Francisco area many years ago. If you are looking for additional details, please feel free
to ask or request additional photos .
What is the difference between an EAST COAST and a WEST COAST version? SEE SECTIONS BELOW in SOME
INTERESTING IMPORTANT FACTS in SECTION 8 Test 3 and SECTION 14 .
ALSO OF NOTE: Some collectors have written in asking if this cover requires the presence of the phrase Printed in USA
on the lower left side, however it does not. This phrase only appears on ALL AD BACKS and only some BLANK BACKS .
There s never been any evidence suggesting that this phrase has EVER appeared on VERSION 1 COLUMN BACKS since
Vee Jay was forced to switch printers in 1963 from COBURN to IVY HILL, who never included this phrase. SEE PHOTO
SEE SECTIONS 8 TEST 3 SECTION 14 listed below for additional information.
FIRST VINYL PRESSING: ACCOUNTS FOR 25 of TOTAL VALUE
VINYL features light swirling surface scratches on both sides with typical paper slides and scuffs. There s no deep scratches
or serious issues to the naked eye from what we can see. Remember that if in NM condition, this very RARE DISC COVER
combo would fetch between 25,000 35,000 and MAYBE MORE . OVAL label lists LEFT JUSTIFIED SONG TITLES
VJLPS 1062 is at 9:00 words LONG PLAYING and MICROGROOVE do not appear on this label version. Label s
color band is clean, defined featuring the required presence of the color GREEN . This DISC was pressed by MONARCH
RECORDS. Label features UPPER CASE type style. THE BEATLES is located above the spindle hole. To knowledgeable
collectors this is a definitive visible feature of authenticity. All correct trail off marks are present. Notably the COVER bears
most of the value in this rare pairing of cover and disc. These VERSION 1 STEREO DISCS are RARE in their own right since
ONLY a TOTAL of 2,202 STEREO VERSION 1s WERE EVER PRESSED including all of those paired with either AD BACK
or BLANK BACK jackets. In an industry where typical pressings were likely to have been in the many hundreds of thousands,
2,202 is considered to be a mere sampling and no doubt a direct result of all of the legal entanglements that Vee Jay had to
endure not to mention all of their monetary problems in 1964. If you re looking for additional details, please feel free
to ask or request additional photos
This item comes with original WHITE Vee Jay INNER SLEEVE See Photos which
illustrates 25 other Vee Jay LPs and is the same pictorial used for all AD BACKS .

CATEGORY: Very RARE Collectible to be purchased as is and as described.
VERSION 1 STEREO discs were pressed for Vee Jay by only 2 companies. They were AMERICAN RECORD PRESSING
Co. ARP MONARCH RECORD MFG Co. MR . Another firm, SOUTHERN PLASTICS Inc. SP is rumored to also have
been used, however there is NO evidence that any STEREO pressings have EVER been discovered from them - only MONO .
As of 3-7-16, an authentic VARIATION of this album was posted on ebay. We were excited to see this because it validated what
we ve been saying all along, that the STEREO VERSION 1 COLUMN BACK actually does exist. But how many were actually
made? No one really knows. Based upon industry experts, existing Vee Jay stats and market estimates, indications are that no
more than 300 were ever assembled and paired with an authentic STEREO record.
It s hard to believe how many FAKES of this LP continue to appear on ebay Buying a FAKE is a waste of anyone s time and hard
earned money. This is incredibly frustrating to buyers searching for authentic variations of this great album. Sellers who offer only
AUTHENTIC items are also very annoyed that they are continually forced to compete in a market that remains full of FAKE material.
This problem is now finally being addressed by ebay Soon it may be impossible to even list a FAKE
TO THE UNSUSPECTING BUYER: BEWARE of FAKES Before you buy any version of this great LP, be sure you understand all
the differences between FAKES and REAL ones. We say this not to insult anyone but simply to state that it is a well known fact that
