The reason that they started this new label was that they had so many records that were getting airplay during that time that the radio stations were giving them a hard time.
At one point, they had 14 of the top 100 on either Tollie or Vee Jay.
So they started another label.
On 2 March 1964, Vee Jay introduced their new Tollie label and issued the next Beatles single, Twist And Shout / There s A Place Tollie 9001 .
Within a short time of its release, Twist And Shout was perched near the top of most charts reaching 2 in Billboard, and 1 in Record World and Cashbox.
HERE IS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT METAL PLATES AND HOW THEY ARE USED TO PRODUCE RECORDS: The plater coats each acetate with a thin layer of silver which is then electro-plated with nickel.
When this plate is separated from the acetate, the metal that was facing the disk now has protruding ridges where the grooves were.
This plate is called the father or master plate.
The acetate disk usually gets destroyed in this process.
The father plate is oxidized, and plated again.
The resulting plate, when separated from the father, becomes a metal duplicate of the acetate, with grooves again.
This plate is called the mother plate and can be played on a turntable to check for errors in mastering or plating.
Like acetates, mothers and fathers also come in one-sided pairs.
In a two step process, the father plate is converted into a stamper, and the mother is shelved for future use.
In a three step process, the mother is oxidized and plated to make stamper plates.
One father can produce 10 mothers, and one mother can produce 10 stampers.
One stamper can produce about 1000 vinyl records.
Therefore, a two step process can produce a maximum of about 11,000 records before a remastering has to be done, and a three step process can produce up to about 100,000 vinyl records before remastering.
The plating section was written almost 100 by Paul W.
Brekus, master engineer at Aardvark Record Mastering in Denver, CO.
Please see Aardvark for Paul s excellent The Record Making Process summary.

It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc.
Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like Fair you re getting this record just to own but not to play Poor the sky s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone unless the label holds some particular interest For listings for our Boston/Cambridge stores, CLICK HERE.
