Stunning NM copy of an iconic record now almost 60 years old !! This VJ 45 appears to had a needle on it just a few times. It would grade mint if not for 1 or 2 minor pressing dimples which was normal as VJ records were never the highest quality.
The labels are pristine, with NO writing, NO rips/tears, NO stickers, NO glue residue, and NO fading.
Original 1964 red Vee-Jay right brackets record sleeves have a wide tab at the top of the front side of the sleeve.
This tab was cut into the sleeve to facilitate the removal of the record from the sleeve.
These tab-cut sleeves were printed and manufactured by Bert-Co Enterprises of Los Angeles. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vee Jay Records was the most successful Black owned and operated record company before Motown. Founded in 1953 by Vivian Carter (the "Vee") and her husband, Jimmy Bracken (the "Jay") in Gary, Indiana, Vee Jay contributed a tremendous catalog of blues, rhythm and blues, doo-wop, jazz, soul, pop, and rock n' roll music. The label started as an outgrowth of the Bracken's successful record shop, and Vivian's stint as a disc jockey at WGRY in Gary. The black music Vivial was playing on her radio show at the time was not generally available on records. The Brackens decided to start recording some of these artists, and Vee Jay was born. The couple felt they could get a label together that could get radio play and sales through their broadcasting and retail contacts. The first artists signed to the label were the Spaniels and Jimmy Reed. In a 1981 interview, first published in Goldmine, Calvin Carter, Vivian's brother, said "Vivian and Jimmy borrowed $500 to produce the first record, borrowed it from a pawnshop.
Their first release, 'Jolly What! The Beatles And Frank Ifield On Stage' (VJ 1085), appeared on 26 February 1964. This LP was nothing more than a compilation of the two Beatles singles released in early and mid 1963, and eight Frank Ifield tracks, all studio recordings. Frank Ifield was best known for his version of 'I Remember You'. Vee Jay tried to stimulate poor sales and chart action of the album by changing the cover art to make a more appealing package to Beatle buyers. Dropping the original art, featuring an old man with a Beatle haircut, Vee Jay used a full color Beatle portrait in hopes of capturing more unsuspecting buyers. By the time the second covers were released, the public had already rejected this rip off, and this version sold less than the original. The album reached #104 in the charts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
