The BEATLES 45 rpm vinyl record. Vinyl Condition is Goldmine VG+. My second highest grade. Great vinyl, A Side label has small ink numbers, but B side is clean. Very nice. It’s confirmed in USA all the 25 common Beatles Capitol records Hold your hand thru The Long and Winding Road were pressed on Purple labels in 1978, plus 3 later singles, Obladi, Helter skelter, and Sgt Peppers, 28 total. I have all of them somewhere! I purchased them in my search for Stereo Beatles singles. (But only one, Slow Down and Matchbox turned out to be Stereo, super rare and hard to find for a Capitol single). There are 3 Purple USA Capitol label series. 1978, 1988, and Cema 1990s. Each has different indicators. This 1978 series is VERY hard to track down, in short supply compared to ‘88 Starline Series and 90s Cema Series which are generally easy to find. On 1978 Purple singles the “Capitol” logo is larger, printed closer to the center hole. The rim print starts with “Mfd. by Capitol”. Then the 1988 series has a smaller “Capitol” logo, noticably farther from the center hole. And the rim print starts with “Manufactured by Capitol”, printed in full, not abbreviated. And most ‘88s have “Starline” printed at 10 o’clock on the labels, but not all. About the same group of singles as the 1978 set, 4 are different. Finally, the Purple Label Capitol CEMA set from ‘92-96. About 32 total records pressed, all pressed on colored vinyl (and 3 of 32 on Black vinyl also). About 22 of 32 were Beatles reissues, and another 10 or so were previous Beatles LP songs now issued on 45s in USA for the first time, such as Blackbird, It’s all too much, Hide your love away, Things we said today, Taxman, Lucy in the sky, Here comes the sun, etc. a great colorful set to own but getting more and more expensive! Red vinyl Lucy in the sky runs $75, Red vinyl Love me do runs $100, Green vinyl Norwegian wood runs $300, and Black vinyl Taxman runs $400!!! Ouch!!! Back to this one: 1978 press of ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE and BABY YOU’RE A RICH MAN. Both are MONO. Capitol NEVER issued these 2 in Stereo in USA! Find them both in Stereo only from GERMANY 1976. They are 2 Common Beatles songs worldwide. Request a copy of my Top 100 Hard to Find Beatles songs on 45 Singles Worldwide List, if interested. STEREO became common on 45s in 1969! Most Capitol reissues stayed Mono, but not all, many Beatles reissues are in STEREO if you play test them!! Request my List of 150 Beatles Songs in Stereo on 45 Singles Worldwide, if interested.
