SWEET GEORGIA BROWN B/W TAKE OUT SOME INSURANCE ON ME BABY ATCO 6302 OSC RELEASED: JUNE 1964 (ACTUAL SCANS) ATLANTIC RECORDS WAS ONE OF SEVERAL COMPANIES THAT TURNED DOWN THE BEATLES IN 1963. AFTER BEATLEMANIA GRIPPED AMERICA THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THE COMPANY OBTAINED THE AMERICAN RIGHTS TO THE FOUR REMAINING SONGS FROM THE BEATLES HAMBURG SESSIONS WITH TONY SHERIDAN WHEN IT REPLACED MGM AS THE AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR FOR DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON'S POLYDOR SUBSIDIARY. THE FIRST SINGLE PAIRED TWO SONGS FEATURING SHERIDAN ON LEAD VOCAL: SWEET GEORGIA BROWN AND TAKE OUT SOME INSURANCE ON ME BABY. ATLANTIC USED THREE DIFFERENT FACTORIES TO PRESS IT'S FIRST ATCO BEATLES SINGLE : (1) MGM RECORDS IN BLOOMFIELD, NEW JERSEY; (2) PLASTIC PRODUCTS IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE; AND (3) MONARCH RECORDS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. THIS PRESSING OFFERED HERE IS THE MONARCH RECORDS VARIATION, (ATCO 6302.02C, SPIZER). THE MONARCH STOCK COPY IS THE RAREST OF THE THREE, IS PRESSED IN STYRENE, AND HAS THE MACHINE STAMPED "MR" LOGO AND HAND-ETCHED JOB NUMBERS IN THE TRAIL-OFF AREAS. THE FONTS ON THE MONARCH LABELS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THOSE OF THE OTHER TWO VARIATIONS AND HAVE "THE BEATLES" IN MID-SIZED TIGHTLY SPACED LETTERS AND "WITH TONY SHERIDAN" BELOW THE GROUP'S NAME. WHAT MAKES THIS MONARCH VARIATION QUITE UNIQUE IS THAT THE B-SIDE TITLE SONG IS PRINTED ON ONE LINE, RATHER THAN SEPARATED : THE CONDITION OF THIS BEAUTY IS A GORGEOUS NEAR MINT, BORDERING NEAR MINT MINUS DUE TO ONE SUPERFICIAL LIGHT MARK ON THE A-SIDE ONLY. THE SHEEN OF THE GROOVES ARE SPARKLING, AND THE LABELS ARE FLAWLESS AND BRIGHT. BECAUSE THIS ATCO 45 DID NOT SELL WELL, IT IS RELATIVELY SCARCE AND WORTH MORE THAN THE MILLION-SELLING DISCS ISSUED BY CAPITOL. FINDING ONE IN THIS STUNNING CONDITION IS A TRUE FIND AND A GREAT ADDITION TO ONE'S COLLECTION ! ACCOMPANIED BY IT'S ORIGINAL WEST COAST "ATCO" GENERIC TITLE SLEEVE. CONDITION: NM / NM- ITEM#: S156 PRICE: ------  |
