The other problem is that counterfeits have pretty much killed the 
market for Beatles stuff on VeeJay/ Tollie and Swan. From what I 
recall, counterfeits of Introducing the Beatles on VeeJay are 
extremely hard to detect by your average punter. Years ago -- mid 70s 
-- a local record shop was STILL getting factory fresh copies of 
Introducing the Beatles on VeeJay. The Tollie 45s have also been 
counterfeited. For that reason I steer away from any offer on all of those.

Even when it comes to my area of specialisation -- 78s by the Beatles 
et all in 1960s -- I can help but imagining some plant in the 
Philippines pumping out the 78s made to order.
