There's A Place
Tollie Records Stamper
Tollie Records Stamper
On its new "Tollie" subsidiary, Vee Jay
issued a chart topper: "Twist and Shout"/"There's a Place." The single came
out in late February, 1964 (traditional date March 2). There are sixteen label variations
of this single, mostly on yellow labels, although an all black style exists. There are five different Tollie logos used on those
labels, including one with Tollie in brackets! The most common singles are valued at $30, while the rarest go for $75. No genuine
picture sleeve was ever issued for this single. The vinyl of the fakes is usually somewhat pocked marked. I refer you to Perry Cox's
"Price Guide to Beatles Records and Memorabilia" for more details.

AUCTION DESCRIPTION:
How many opportunities does one have to own such a unique piece of Beatles history? Right from the Vee-Jay plant comes this stamper, one of the very first stages in
creating those hot little platters of black vinyl. Here, we have the self-penned B-side to "Twist and Shout," which proved to be Vee-Jay's biggest success in their short, problem-ridden Beatles experiment. The original packaging is included here and remains an attractive display item. The metal disc itself has highly reflective surfaces with nary a
sign of wear. A delight for Beatles completists.
