Beatles 45 ANNA / ASK ME WHY Spec. DJ No. 8 RAREST Vee Jay PROMO
“ANNA / ASK ME WHY”. Approximately 4 “AUTHENTIC” Copies Worldwide! This is by far the RAREST Beatles Record EVER! It’s value is more than originally thought! This is a “ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY”. There are so few of these “PROMOS” in existence, it’s. Quite doubtful you’ll ever see another one of these in your lifetime. Serious BEATLE collectors have contacted. Us about this item because it is so RARE. “MAKE A BEST OFFER”! In addition to marketing their EPs , as a single and lowering it’s price, Vee Jay resorted to promotional tie-ins. With various food products to further generate sales. They granted permission to certain companies to use the. BEATLES SOUVENIR RECORD as a premium as a special offer. This idea was a bust! But 2 of the songs on. Their EP (I-903) , namely ANNA (written by Arthur Alexander – 1962) with ASK ME WHY written by J. McCartney, were paired on an extremely rare PROMO SINGLE designated Spec. 8 by Vee Jay. The label on this record is similar to the BLUE & WHITE for EP (I-903) as well as VJ-581 Please Please Me/. From Me To You & VJ-587 (Do You Want To Know A Secret / Thank You Girl). It’s trail off areas contain the MR Logo indicating that this Styrene Disc was manufactured by MONARCH. As only a few MONARCH invoices to Vee Jay have ever been discovered. The timing & purpose. Of this single remains a mystery. Because this 45 contains ASK ME WHY , which is the song featured on the. PROMO TITLE SLEEVE , it’s been speculated that this record was used as part of Vee Jay’s midsummer blitz. To market the EP as a single. Supporters of this theory point out that the record is assigned Spec. And that the PROMO Title Sleeve calls the record a… Containing the phrase “#8 IN SALES”. While similarities between Spec. 8″ and “special D. Appear to support the theory, trail off markings are inconclusive. The trail off markings of the ASK ME WHY side contain the Master # 63-2968 and Job # 46527-X the. Same numbers that appears on the B-Side of VJ-498. The trail off markings on the ANNA side include the. Correct Master # 63-3185 and Job #. MONARCH assigned this Job # to the. Song in either late. January or February of 1964. Thus, this record could have been pressed as early as February of 1964. If that’s the case, this item had no relationship to the marketing the EP as it would have been made several. Months prior to the midsummer campaign to plug ASK ME WHY. Because only a half dozen or so copies of. This record have ever surfaced (all in LA) indicates that it was never widely distributed like a typical promo. DJ designation on the label sets this disc apart from all other PROMOS. Mystery of this 45 is the fact that there are no other 45s confirmed with a Spec. This is by far the RAREST “BEATLES” 45 ever made and continues to be a mystery as to why Vee Jay had.
