The first Vee-Jay label design has been commonly called "the script label" by collectors. The first variation of this label (at far left) was used on LP-101 and LPs 1001-1015, and possibly on LP-1016. It was maroon with silver printing, with "Vee-Jay RECORDS" above the center hole with a fine wavy line under it, and there is a thin silver line around the perimeter of the label. The second variation of the "script" label (at near left) had a much thicker silver band around the edge of the label, and the words "TRADE MARK REG." appear under the "Vee-" in the logo, just above the wavy line. This was used starting at about LP-1016, and for re-pressings of earlier albums before the switch to the "oval" label described below. It was used for a relatively short time before the label design changed to the black design with the rainbow band around the edge. We have not seen LP-1019, 1020, and 1021 with the "script" label. The maroon labels were used on the gospel series to at least LP-5005.
		Early stereophonic pressings used a grey label with the same graphics as the "script" label, with "STEREO" under the wavy line just above the center hole. Later stereophonic pressings, before the switch in label design to the "oval" label, used a gold "script" label with the same graphics as the first variation of the maroon "script" label.
		The second major label design is commonly known as "the oval label" for the oval logo (at far left). It is black with silver printing, with "VEE JAY" above the center hole in white with a red oval around it. Around the perimeter of the label is a "rainbow" band of green fading to yellow fading to orange fading to blue and back to green. The "oval label" was used to VJLP/SR-1070, although remaining stock of oval logo labels were used for later albums, at least until VJLP- 1084.The oval logo was also used on the 3000 Jazz series, and the 5000 Gospel series from approximately LP-5006. Promotional labels were white with black printing. "VEE JAY" above the center hole in black, a black oval around the logo. Around the perimeter of the label is a band with multiple shades of gray. Promotional versions of the "oval label" are also known with red print on a white background, with a thick red band around the edge. Stereo issues using the "oval label" often had "STEREO" above the logo.
		During the time when the Beatles records were being sold in 1964, an additional label was used on LP/SR-1062 and LP/SR-1085. This was done because pressing plants ran out of the usual labels and needed to print up labels fast. This label had a very basic graphic design with "VJ" at the top in block letters. The first Vee-Jay album, VJ-100, did not have a Vee-Jay logo at all. It was gold with "KATS KARAVAN" at the top. The matrix number in the dead wax indicated it was VJ-LP-100.

VEE-JAY ALBUM DISCOGRAPHY, PART 1

Cover	Number - Title - Artist - [Release Date] Contents
	LP-100 Early Album Series:
	LP-100 - Old Favorites with Jim Lowe - Various Artists [1958] Even though our copy of this album does not have a Vee Jay label, this album is a Vee Jay release. A picture of it is shown on the back cover of LP-1022 in an ad (same cover graphics as on our copy). It is also listed in the 1962 Phonolog as Vee Jay 100. The copy we have has a gold label with black printing, above the center hole is "KATS KARAVAN". The matrix number in the runout area is VJ-LP-100. Whether this album was ever issued with a Vee Jay label is unknown. Jim Lowe was a disc jockey on WRR in Dallas, Texas; his radio show was known as the "Kats Karavan".

	LP-1040/SR-1040 - Duke of Earl - Gene Chandler [1961] (3-62, #69)The original stereo issue of this album has a great deal of collector interest, since there weren't many pressed, it was an excellent pressing, and it has not been reissued in stereo on vinyl. Several CDs have contained the stereo version of "Duke of Earl," but these have been from records, and not very clean ones at that. There have been many reissues and bootlegs which have the stereo banner on top, but with a mono album inside. The original stereo pressing has "XCSV-82329-1C" mechanically stamped in the trailout wax of side one, and the matrix number corrected to "82339" by hand.

	LP-1062/SR-1062 - Introducing the Beatles - Beatles [1/64] (2-64, #2) This album was scheduled to be released in August, 1963, but was cancelled due to mediocre sales of the singles and a financial crisis at the record company. When the Beatles' ad campaign started in late December, 1963, by Capitol Records ("The Beatles are coming, the Beatles are coming!!...on Capitol Records!"), the Vee-Jay album was pulled from limbo and pressed and released within a matter of days. Although Vee-Jay was using the "brackets logo" by this time, the artwork for the cover was not redone, even though it had the old "oval logo" from the previous summer. All original copies of this album have the oval on the cover, with George's shadow at the right side of the cover. (Copies with the brackets logo on the cover or without George's shadow are most likely bootlegs. This album has been extensively bootlegged.) Vee-Jay sent a supply of the brackets logo label blanks to its pressing plants, but the plants were told to use up the supply of old oval logo label blanks first. One new pressing plant had no old label blanks (only the new brackets label blank), so original copies of this album are known with either oval or brackets labels, depending on the pressing plant. This album and Beatles' singles being issued by Vee-Jay were the object of a heated legal battle between Capitol and Vee-Jay in January and February of 1964. Vee-Jay was also denied the mechanical rights to two of the songs by the publisher. First version of the album contains "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," the two songs in question. Vee-Jay finally removed the songs and substituted "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me" to get around at least part of their legal tangle (see second version below). The legal problems with Capitol were resolved in March. I Saw Her Standing There (S)/Misery (S)/Anna (S)/Chains (S)/Boys (S)/Love Me Do (E)//P.S. I Love You (E)/Baby It's You (S)/Do You Want To Know A Secret (S)/A Taste Of Honey (S)/There's A Place (S)/Twist And Shout (S)
	LP-1062/SR-1062 - Introducing the Beatles - Beatles [2/64] Second version of the album contains "Ask Me Why" and "Please, Please Me" replacing "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You." Front cover is the same as the first version, but the back slick is changed to indicate the correct songs. Copies are known to exist with the new slick pasted on top of the old slick. The pressing plants soon ran out of the back slicks, so albums were issued with a blank back or a generic Vee-Jay slick showing small color photos of other Vee-Jay albums. To make matters more confusing, plants soon ran out of the labels with the rainbow around the edge and started printing ad-hoc labels, leaving a bewildering variety of covers and labels. I Saw Her Standing There (S)/Misery (S)/Anna (S)/Chains (S)/Boys (S)/Ask Me Why (S)//Please Please Me (S, stereo alternate take)/Baby It's You (S)/Do You Want To Know A Secret (S)/A Taste Of Honey (S)/There's A Place (S)/Twist And Shout (S)
