Description

THIS ITEM IS A U.S. 7" RED VINYL 45 BY THE BEATLES FOR "LOVE ME DO/P.S. I LOVE YOU"--ON CAPITOL FOR "JUKEBOXES ONLY"--VERY FEW MADE!!! THIS IS MINT, IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED OR EVEN TOUCHED A TURNTABLE!!!

In the early 90's Capitol issued a handful of colored vinyl, Jukebox Only, 45's. None of them came in picture sleeves, but all of them are quite rare as they were not sold to retailers, only jukebox distributors. Capitol released special colored jukebox 45's through their "CEMA Special Marketing Products" division. Each "Beatle single" was released on a "purple label" and only available for jukeboxes from May 1994 to January 1996. These records are no longer in print and are rapidly becoming collectors items. There is a little historical significance to some of the 45's released in the series by CEMA: A manufacturing error was made during a run-off of "Love Me Do". The record plant technicians accidentally manufactured approximately 300-1,200 copies in red vinyl before they realized a mistake was made. The last one of these I saw on ebay sold for $154.00. That is a good indication of how rare these are!!!
