Tollie Records was a record label
formed in February, 1964 as a
sub-label of Vee-Jay Records and closed in May 1965. The label
distributed some Beatles singles in the United States before Capitol
Records. Vee-Jay did not press its own records. Instead, the company had the metal parts sent to regional factories for manufacture. Records were then sent directly from these pressing plants to distributors, who in turn sent records to retailers and other distributors. In 1963, three of the primary pressing plants used by Vee-Jay were; (1) The American Record Pressing Co. ("ARP") in Owosso, Michigan ARP pressings have a raised relief script "ARP" machine stamped logo in the trail off areas. (2) Monarch Records in Los Angeles, California The discs manufactured by Monarch Records are easily identified by a circled (MR) symbol machine stamped in the trail off areas, which also contain a hand etched job number preceded by a "?" symbol. (3) Southern Plastics in Nashville, Tennessee There is no factory logo in the trail off areas. (4) Silver Plastics, for additional use Its trail off area has the (MR) symbol, however the record is pressed in vinyl rather than styrene. (5)Columbia Records Its trail off area has several and etchings, including "T1", the initials "URJ" and the matrix number followed by a "6". styrene disc. Vee-Jay began taking orders from distributors for Twist And Shout on February 20, 1964. Twist And Shout sold nearly 1,210,000 copies, including 6,000 copies sent to foreign markets. True to Vee-Jay’s style, there are numerous label variations of Tollie 9001. All but one appear on yellow labels with differing logos, color schemes and letter sizes. These labels were improvised at the printers or factories, as opposed to having song information overprinted on label backdrops. This resulted in six different logos for Tollie’s initial release! To help meet demand, Vee-Jay used at least six factories to press the single, including ARP, Monarch, Southern Plastics, Columbia, Silver Plastics and, for the first time, Alco Research and Engineering of Hollywood, California (“Alco”). 9001 type-1: has black print on a yellow label with the word "TOLLIE" appearing in thin block letters above the center hole. These styrene discs were pressed by Monarch with stampers from two different sets of lacquers, all of which have trail off areas with the master number 63-3194 and job number D51071X on the A-side and the master number 63-3193 and job number D51071 on the B-side. The Audio Matrix logo is not visible, suggesting that the metal parts may have been prepared elsewhere. Discs pressed with the first set of stampers have the (MR) symbol and the initials "RA" indicating that these records were mastered at Universal in Chicago. Records pressed with the second set of stampers have the initials "URJ" indicating that these records were mastered at Audio Arts in Los Angeles. Although they do not have the (MR) symbol, they were pressed by Monarch. |
