ORIGINAL AND ULTRA RARE VERY HISTORIC LATE MARCH/EARLY APRIL 1964 OFFICIAL INK HAND NOTATED AND INITIALED VEE CAPITOL RECORDS (to Vee Jay Records) 2 PAGE DOCUMENT REGARDING THE CONTROL, LIMITATION AND MONITORING OF ALL VEE JAY RECORDS CONCERNING THE BEATLES AND THE BEATLES AND FRANK IFIELD RECORDS! THE NOTATIONS WERE SCRIPTED and INITIALED BY TOP VEE JAY EXECUTIVE, RANDY WOOD (Note the acronym "CRI" stands for CAPITOL RECORDS INCORPORATED.) THIS DOCUMENT WAS ISSUED BY CAPITOL RECORDS FOR VEE JAY'S REVIEW.

THIS IS AN ULTRA RARE VINTAGE LATE MARCH/EARLY APRIL, 1964 HAND NOTATED AND INITIALED 2 PAGE DIRECTIVE DOCUMENT BY CAPITOL RECORDS TO VEE JAY RECORDS CONCERNING THE TERMS FOR THE OUTLINE AND PROCEDURE FOR VEE JAY'S HANDLING AND ACCOUNTING FOR THEIR BEATLES AND BEATLES AND FRANK IFIELD RECORDS AS A RESULT OF THE PENDING LAWSUITS BY CAPITOL RECORDS INCORPORATED. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WERE OUTLINED BY CAPITOL RECORDS, AND WOULD APPLY FROM MARCH UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 1964 WHEN ALL RIGHTS TO MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTE BEATLES RECORDINGS WOULD SOLELY BELONG TO EMI/Capitol Records. THIS IS A VERY HISTORIC DOCUMENT ON WATERMARKED STATIONERY. THE INK NOTATIONS WERE SCRIPTED BY RANDY WOOD BEARING HIS INITIALS AT THE TOP RIGHT. NOTE THE MIS-SPELLING OF THE BEATLES AS " BEATTLES ". AN ERROR THAT ALSO APPEARED ON THE ARTIST'S TITLE PRINT ON THEIR FIRST ISSUE BEATLES 45! SIZE IS 8.5" X 13". (Note the acronym in the document, "CRI" stands for "Capitol Records Incorporated".)

(Bruce Spizer graciously added this comment for me regarding the document.....) The document lays out the terms of a settlement between Vee-Jay and Capitol Records pertaining to the three pending lawsuits involving Vee-Jay, Capitol and Beechwood Music. These were almost certainly terms set forth by Capitol. Vee-Jay reviewed these terms and agreed to some (noted by hand-written “OK”), but not all. The financial terms are very similar to what the parties later agreed to, as is the September 30, 1964 cut-off date. Vee-Jay negotiated these proposed terms and got some additional concessions, including the right to issue an additional single, “Love Me Do” b/w “P.S. I Love You,” and manufacture albums.

SO VERY RARE TO EVER HAVE A CHANCE TO OBTAIN THESE ORIGINAL ' BEHIND THE SCENES ' IN-HOUSE BUSINESS/LEGAL DOCUMENTS! THIS WOULD GO WELL AND/OR FRAME WELL WITH ANY VEE JAY BEATLES RECORD. ABSOLUTELY AN ORIGINAL MARCH, 1964 INK SCRIPTED AND INITIALED DOCUMENT AND NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION OF ANY KIND. CONDITION IS A NICE VG++. IT REMAINS AGED STAPLE BOUND AT TOP LEFT. OTHERWISE, SOME GENERAL HANDLING AND AGE MELLOWING.
