The Beatles first British single,
"Love Me Do b/w P.S. I Love You", was released in the U.S. on 27th
April 1964. 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. Although there are no confirmed promotional copies of the first Beatles single on TOLLIE (Twist and Shout: 9001), there are two distinct promotional copy label variations for "Love Me Do". Type-1: Has the thin block letters "TOLLIE" logo. It has all black print on a white label and the words "NOT FOR SALE" and "PROMOTIONAL COPY". The trail-off areas have the identical markings, including the (MR) symbol, indicating that this promotional record was pressed by Monarch. Type-2: Has the clockwise box logo. It has all black print on a white label and the words "NOT FOR SALE" and "Disk Jockey Advance Sample". The trail-off areas contain barely visible hand etched initials "RA" and master numbers, along with barely legible Audio Matrix and "ARP" logos, indicating that promotional copy was pressed by ARP. |

The trail off areas have the hand etched master number 63-3188 and the job number ?51068X on the A side and the master number 63-3189 and the job number ?51069 on the B side.
