| | Vee Jay is said to have run out of its regular labels and to have contracted out for others to press their records using whatever labels they would make. | | | On Aug. 12, 1964, Vee Jay issued an "old" Beatles album, which was a reissue of Introducing the Beatles. | | | Vee Jay also issued a promotional album featuring interviews with the Beatles and John Lennon. |

| | First it was Vee Jay's first album venture into "pop" music, and second, it was their first stereo album. | | | This time, Vee Jay was ready for national distribution, and pushed the disc to #5 on the R&B charts on their own, although it took about six months for the record to break nationally. | | | In addition to the El Dorados album, Vee Jay in 1957 issued the Spaniels' first album (VJLP-1002) and "We Bring You Love" by Sarah McLawler and Richard Otto (VJLP/SR-1003). |

| | The record's ballad side gets raves in the trade press (both pop music and R and B which is rare for the time), and a defining move in the story of the record happens in April when Vee-Jay Records gets a national distribution deal on the strength of initial sales in the Midwest. | | | Chance Records of Chicago come to the aid of the quintet and Chance #1141 is the label for the Spaniels first effort. | | | They recorded a remake of "Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight" for Buddah #153 b/w "Maybe". |

| | The Arkansas-born singer moved to Chicago as a child and recorded with the Delegates for Vee-Jay in 1956. | | | But Taylor's records didn't sell in the quantities that Reed's did, so he was largely relegated to the role of sideman, although his own recordings made it abundantly clear that this quiet, unassuming guitarist didn't have to play second fiddle to anyone. | | | She continued recording for Fantasy until 1974 and made one other record for United Artists in 1978. |

| | It was later determined that the royalties owed by Vee-Jay on the Beatles records as of August, 1963, amounted to $859. | | | These dates led Beatles historians to conclude incorrectly that the album was released by Vee-Jay in July of 1963. | | | Corporate minutes dated January 7, 1964, quote Vee-Jay's Jay Lasker as stating that 30,000 copies of the album could be issued by the end of the week (January 10). |

| | Vee Jay Ad Back album history |
| | As with all Beatles records on Vee-Jay, there are multiple label variations for this historic album. | | | Vee-Jay was not in a financial position to destroy and repress the records without the two songs, so it was decided to sneak the record out in a cover that failed to disclose the inclusion of the songs. | | | In discussing the Beatles situation, Jay Lasker is quoted as follows: "We have an LP that could be huge-we can get it out on the street by the end of this week-at least 30,000 LP's could be gotten out." This indicates that the album was released on or about Friday, January 10, 1964. |

| | Rennie had repeatedly offered Capitol and other record companies a Beatles distributorship but none was interested, probably because no British rock band had ever been successful in the U.S. Transglobal Music Company was an intermediary used by EMI, Vee-Jay, and other U.S. record companies to sell their records in foreign countries. | | | Between legal injunctions, Vee-Jay released a string of Beatle records, many designed to lure the public into believing it was purchasing brand new Beatle material when in fact, it was not. | | | In 1953, Vivian Carter (the "Vee") and her husband, Jimmy Bracken (the "Jay") founded Vee-Jay records in Gary, Indiana. |

| | The book also catalogues the different variations on Vee Jay records with excellent pictures of the various album covers and record labels also highlighting the counterfeit albums which look very similar to the real thing but are not as valuable. | | | This clever fake was on the Tollie Label {Tollie was a subsidiary of the Vee-Jay Record Co.} and was the brainchild of two Beatles fans in North Western America who wanted to see if they could fool the experts. | | | The book is hard back and the presentation is of an extremely high standard with extensive information on WHEN the records were pressed, WHERE the records were pressed, HOW MANY copies were sold, and WHY some records are so much rarer than others. |

| | Two of the numbers were remakes of earlier recordings: "Jay's Rock" was simply a number he had done for Federal in 1953, originally called "Texas Turkey," and "Big Jay's Hop" was an updated version of "The Deacon's Hop," which gave 1955 listeners an idea as to what all the excitement was about in 1949. | | | On three more she recorded as a solo act--with bands led by Al Smith in 1957 and 1958, and with a band led by Riley Hampton in 1959. | | | Washington also recorded a solo LP of gospel songs for the Gospel label in 1969. |

| | As a result, in 1963 the first Beatles records were released in America by Vee-Jay, a small Chicago-based label. | | | Vee-Jay, who has the masters to all the tracks on the Beatles' first LP, wants to take advantage of Beatlemania by releasing an album, but they're not sure if they have the legal rights to use those masters. | | | (Even the Rolling Stones once released studio tracks overdubbed with crowd noises to create phony "live" recordings.) What makes this one notable is the concluding sentence of the liner notes on the back of both versions of the album: |

| | Under his leadership Vee-Jay produced hit records for Dee Clark, Jimmy Reed, Betty Everett, Gene Chandler, El Dorados, and also early hits by The Four Seasons and also introduced America to The Beatles with their first singles in the United States. | | | Abner soon was part of the operation of Sheridan's record label Chance Records until its demise in 1954. | | | But it was learned that there was already a recording company located ihn Texas with that name and so they renamed the new label Abner Records. |

| | The Beatles Before Capitol, Part 4 |
| | While Vee Jay and Swan were still producing Beatles records, there was certainly no need for anyone to make "pirate," "counterfeit," or "fantasy" records on those labels. | | | Since the Beatles were complete unknowns in the USA in early 1963, Vee Jay Records never issued a picture sleeve for their first release. | | | Also, during the 1960's, Vee Jay never released a "large brackets" version of an "all black label." Finally, these usually come in covers claiming that the record is in stereo; the label does not say "STEREO" -- another sign of a counterfeit. |
