THE BEATLES FIRST FIRST US RECORD LISTED WITH THE BEATLES NAME. PLEASE PLEASE ME/ASK ME WHY. THIS IS A PROMOTIONAL COPY GIVEN TO DISC JOCKEYS TO CREATE INTEREST IN THE RECORD. THIS HAS THE BEATLES SPELLED AS " THE BEATTLES", AN ERROR THAT WAS CORRECTED IN LATER COPIES. VJ 498, VEE JAY WAS A CHICAGO BASED INDEPENDENT LABEL. THE RECORD REACHED #35 ON MARCH 15, 1963 ON THE WLS SILVER DOLLAR SURVEY.
THE STANDARD PRICE GUIDE FOR AMERICAN BEATLE RECORDS LIST THIS PROMO RECORD AS $5,000 IN MINT CONDITION. THIS RECORD WAS GRADED AS NEAR MINT, A SIDE AS VG+++ (due to red X on it) AND B SIDE AS NEAR MINT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE DISC JOCKEY WOULD MARK IT FOR THE "A" SIDE.
VJ 498 LISTS J. LENNON-P. McCARTNEY ON BOTH SIDES. AFTER THIS RECORD THE WERE USUALLY LISTED AS LENNON-McCARTNEY.
VJ 498 IS A RARE UNIQUE RECORD.
