THE BEATLES

"THE BEATLES AND FRANK IFIELD ON STAGE!"   

1964 US "PORTRAIT COVER", WITHDRAWN COVER FIRST PRESS VEE JAY MONO LP VJ-1085. 

FROM A LOCAL RECORD COLLECTION, THE ORIGINAL OWNER THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOING TO BE A LIVE ALBUM AND WAS NONE TOO PLEASED TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T. FORTUNATELY THE MARKER HE USED WAS LIGHT AND FINE LINE, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THAT HE X'D OUT 'ON STAGE' AND BENEATH IT ADDED 'Lies!', AND BENEATH FRANK IFIELD'S NAME HE WROTE 'eats it.' THESE COMMENTS ARE STILL VISIBLE BUT ACTUALLY DO NOT DETRACT MUCH FROM THE OVERALL APPEARANCE, TO ME IT MAY EVEN ADD SOME AUTHENTICITY TO WHAT MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY THOUGHT WHO BOUGHT THIS AT THE TIME!

OK, ONTO CONDITION, OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS: COVER HAS TYPICAL PARTIAL WEAR RING, SHELF WEAR, SEAM WEAR AND FLAKING, BARE TO THE CARDBOARD AT THE TOP SPINE CORNER TIP AND AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT WHERE THE TIP SEAM IS SPLIT APPROX 1-1/4". THE SPINE PRINT INCLUDING 'VJ 1085' AT THE VERY BOTTOM SPINE IS COMPLETE, INTACT AND CLEARLY READABLE. BACK COVER HAS LIGHT SHELF SOIL, SMALL STAINS AND PARTIAL SOIL RING, WITH A SMALL SQUARE STAIN FROM THE ORIGINAL PRICE TAG AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER. THERE IS A NAME IN BLACK SHARPIE ON THE BARE CARDBOARD ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER.

THE LP IS VERY NICE. PLAYING SURFACES HAVE BASICALLY FULL GLOSS. HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH, NOT SURPRISING SINCE THIS IS A ONE-OWNER ITEM AND THE ORIGINAL BUYER HATED THE ALBUM, AS WE CAN SEE! THERE IS LITERALLY ONE SUPERFICIAL MARK ON TRACK TWO SIDE ONE OTHERWISE THERE IS NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE OF PLAY.

OVAL LOGO/COLORBAND LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING THE SAME NAME THAT IS ON THE INSIDE COVER IS WRITTEN IN THE YELLOW PART OF THE COLORBAND ON SIDE ONE. 

DESPITE THE WRITING AND SHELF WEAR, THIS REMAINS A SCARCE MUST-HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTION, AND IS NICE ENOUGH IN APPEARANCE TO ADD AND ENJOY.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND HARD TO COME BY COMMERCIALLY RELEASED US BEATLES RECORDS OF THEM ALL.

Other than the writing: OVERALL INTACT DECENT VG COVER

Other than the name:  GLOSSY SOLID VG++ LP
