Description
Vancouver's Official Beatle Press Conference - a rare original piece of Beatles' history from the golden age of Beatlemania, 1964.
This one sided flexi-disc was issued only by Kelly's Records a local west coast record store to celebrate the Beatles appearance in Vancouver on August 22, 1964, at Empire Stadium. The flexi disc plays at 33 RPM.
The interview was given away free as a promotional item to Kelly's customers at their three stores. The disc was sourced from a recording made at the press conference prior to the Beatles' Vancouver concert. While few of these were produced, even fewer survived the next 50+ years in good condition. A rare piece of North American Beatles' history.
These flexi discs are getting harder to find with only one or two coming to the marketplace in any given year.
Condition: The flexi-disc is still bound to the backing picture by the original rivets on the left side. There are a few signs of aging. The backing photo is clean with minor creases. There is no writing or stickers on the backing picture or on the flexi-disc. The reverse of the backing picture is free from writing and shows minor creasing and aging signs. The spindle holes on the flexi and photo backing sheet are tight. Minor marks from handling and some minor creases that do not interfere with the audio.
See photographs for condition.
As could be expected from a flexi-disc there is some surface noise.
