Description
"Vancouver's Official Beatle Press Conference"- a hard to find, if not rare, original piece of Canadian Beatles history. This flexi-disc was issued only by Kelly's Records, a chain of 4 local west coast record shops, to celebrate the Beatles appearance in Vancouver on September 8. It was given away free as a promotional item to Kelly's customers. The disc originated from a press agent recording. While few of these were produced, even fewer survived the next 50 years. Many fans separated the backing from the flexi-disc and some cut around the disc to create a more conventional "round" record.
This piece of Canadian Beatles history does not come up often and is usually not in as good condition as this.
Condition:
The flexi-disc is still bound to the backing picture by the two original rivets on the left side. There are few signs of aging. The photo backing is clear with no creases and little signs of wear. There is no writing or stickers on the backing picture or on the flexi-disc.The back of the backing picture is free from writing, stains and marks. The spindle holes on the flexi and photo backing sheet are tight. The flexi-disc surface has a couple of small dents that causes a light tone arm at 1.5G to skip repeat in a couple of places. With the tone arm at 2.5G it does not skip. As could be expected from a low quality flexi-disc there is surface noise.
