I've always been partial to the Beatles on Vee Jay Records. ( Yeah, that's why I selected veejayrick for my user name!). Anyway, I purchased a CD back in 2006 from a private record shop guy which is obviously a Bootleg. This CD contains the entire Vee Jay Lp along with the entire Lp "Hear The Beatles Tell All" with "From Me To You & "Thank You Girl" as bonus tracks. On the reverse side of the CD cover it says in lower right hand corner, "Your Copy Is #189". It is True Stereo except for the "Beatles Tell All" part. Any idea where this came from and it's value? I cannot find it listed on eBay or Amazon and Bruce Spizer does not list it all in his book.

Ah. Well, welcome to the forum VeeJay Rick. You'll enjoy it here.
Here's the problem with bootlegs of already released music: It's piracy and it's worthless in a monetary way. It's just someone who has a little scam going to get people to believe that they're getting the rare VeeJay records on CD. I can take the EMI/APPLE albums and make a playlist of the track listing for the VeeJay album, and burn it on a CD.
And the Hear Beatles Tell All LP is very easy to find for very cheap(albeit the counterfeit stereo version).
The legitimate mono Beatles Tell All LP is rare and pricey but a recording of it isn't.
So, sorry to tell you that. But I just made a playlist of 'Introducing The Beatles'. And not only that, but the super rare 'Love Me Do' version in STEREO!!! And I put the VeeJay Artwork on it! But it's still worthless.
About the subject of bootlegs (unreleased recordings), one doesn't have to pay for them anymore. They are made available by the fans for the fans for free on fly by night websites. It's getting harder to find them these days because the 'intelectual property assassins' have declared war on any sort of music sharing. But SHARING is the key words. The sleezebags who used to make a fortune in the '80's and '90's on nicely packaged hard copies are mostly out of business.
Hope that helps you. I do tend to go on.
Welcome to the forum.

super rare 'Love Me Do' version in STEREO!!! What super rare stereo version is this? I'm guessing it's a so-called out fake but I'd still love to hear it!

I meant the version of the record that had Love Me Do on it. The stereo version of that album is so super rare that it almost doesn't exist. Although I could probably take Ringo's version and Andy's version and mix it all up into a 'stereo' version.
