NM BEATLES '64 TOLLIE 9001 MONO TWIST AND SHOUT RARE LABEL VARIATION WITH SLEEVE

The Beatles Tollie No. 9001 'Twist & Shout' / 'There's A Place' recorded in MONO and released March 2,1964. Authentic, with Monarch Records (an "MR" in a circle)" stamped in the dead wax on both sides. This has the scarce label variation with the 'Tollie' box logo in Purple, while the rest of the print on the label is in standard black. The wax is EX/NM with just a few minor scuffs, with no skips and still very glossy. The labels are MINT PRISTINE. One of the interesting things about the B side 'There's A Place' it lists the credits as McCartney-Lennon, later changed to the more commonly recognized 'Lennon-McCartney'. Stunning fantasy sleeve that is remarkable.

Tollie Records was a record label formed in February, 1964 as a sub-label of Vee-Jay Records and closed in May 1965. The label distributed some Beatles singles in the United States before Capitol Records. 'Twist And Shout' was not issued on Vee-Jay, but rather was the debut release on Tollie, a Vee-Jay subsidiary label. It has been speculated that this was done to sneak out another Beatles single at a time when Vee-Jay was involved in litigation with Capitol Records over its rights to issue additional Beatles records. This is not the case, however. The decision to release the new Beatles single on Tollie was a marketing decision.
