Souvenir of the Beatles' Jacksonville, Florida show, 9/11/1964.
Yes, this is “One of Those”.
“Songs, Pictures, and Stories”, which is actually a way for veejay to avoid some legal issues & distribute a second version of “Introducing the Beatles”, see below, I'm not sure I get it. :). A unicorn, if you will. The pictures tell the tale. The playing surfaces look great, it could use some cleaning. I've done nothing to this record. This is as found, I haven't played it or cleaned it, and needs to come live with you. There are splits top and bottom, not full splits, but partials, nonetheless.
I don't deal in records, so I don't have grading skills. It is currently housed in a plastic sleeve, so no further issues should happen.
Miss Jean McFarland signed her name 3x on side 2, and once on the inner sleeve, in right proper girly cursive. She's a right proper older person now, having gone through the ‘60's in that age range.
I'm going to list as a Buy it Now, but will take offers. When your number meets my number, we will have a deal. Would prefer to get this done fairly quickly, so there's that. Thank you for reading this far, anyway.
I will ship in the best way imaginable, with ultra fantastic packing/goof-proof, or deliver to you in person, if I feel like going, or going anyway. Nashville & Birmingham would be my radius.
Heritage Auctions sold one for $812.50 on July 17, 2021, I posted the result and etc in pictures, or you can look it up. They don't turn up often. Discogs has 95 people actually looking for this, but I couldn't figure out their shipping nonsense. So here we are.
This is the description from Heritage, with New Orleans edited to Jacksonville:
The Beatles Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles Vinyl LP With Gator Bowl Jacksonville Souvenir Sticker (VJ 1092). Following a cease and desist from EMI/Capitol, VJ Records found other ways to sell the second version of Introducing . . . the Beatles. This is an example, but with a very rare sticker placed in the bottom corner of the front cover fold-out, "Souvenir of Their Appearance at The Gator Bowl, Jacksonville, Sept. 11, 1964." This is a mono copy with "Introducing the Beatles" printed on the label, along with the catalog number of "VJLP 1062." However, the sleeve is for Songs, Pictures and Stories of the Fabulous Beatles.
This is the AI-generated version from eBay, I will not confirm that this is in “excellent” shape, as they've not seen it, and we've covered that already.
This is an incredible piece of music history. The Fabulous Beatles Singles, Pictures, and Stories album is a rare find for any collector. Released in 1964 by Vee Jay Records in Jacksonville, FL, this first pressing LP features 33 RPM speed and a 12" record size. The album is in excellent shape and made of high-quality vinyl material.
The record label is adorned with the iconic album artwork featuring the band's name in bold letters. The album includes some of the band's most popular songs, such as "My Bonnie," "Ain't She Sweet," and "Cry for a Shadow." This British Invasion style album is a must-have for any fan of rock music. Add this gem to your vinyl collection today!
I can't believe you read all the way to here. I hope your quest is rewarded with ownership of this fabulous thing. I just can't keep all the crap I've got, do take a look at my other auctions, it's about to get wild.
