Parlogram is delighted to have been commissioned to sell one of the largest collection of Beatles vinyl to come onto the market for many years.

This once-in-a-lifetime collection comprises over 2,000 LPs, 1,000 45s/EPs & many box sets from virtually every country/territory where Beatles records were released.

All records will be sold exclusively on Ebay in auction format only (no 'Buy It Now' offers please) and WITHOUT RESERVE.

Due to the number of discs listed each week, gradings are visual only. However we are happy to provide audio grades on request.

This week, we are proud to offer some choice items from the U.S. section of the collection

THE BEATLES & FRANK IFIELD - 'ON STAGE'

This, one of the rarest and most valuable of all Beatles albums issued, was the final album released by Vee-Jay Records before their rights to the Beatles catalogue expired in October 1964. This release was simply a re-packaged version of 'Jolly What! The Beatles & Frank Ifield On Stage' in a re-designed cover. The 'portrait cover' featuring a drawing of The Beatles and the four Beatles song titles. However, the album barely made it to record shops before Vee-Jay's rights expired. Just a few hundred copies are believed to exist.

This is a genuine mono example on the colourband Vee-Jay label: VJLP 1085

Matrix numbers: 64-3852 & 64-3853

The run-outs bear the 'MR' mark of the 'Monarch Record Mfg. Co.', along with the hand-etched initials 'URJ'

Vinyl weight: 146g

Housed within a slick-pasted-on-posterboard cover, complete with original Vee Jay advertising inner-sleeve

CONDITION

Cover: GOOD

This genuine & fully intact example has a fair amount of storagewear, most notably to the front panel

There is general shelfwear to the corners and the seams appear to have been put back together

The rear panel has a name in blue ink along the top along with additional storagewear, but no missing paper

The spine is worn but still intact and some of the text remains

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

Clean & bright both sides

Visual: VERY GOOD

Both playing surfaces are clean with some light marks, but nothing deep or heavy. There is some groove-whitening on a few tracks consistent with frequent play.
