YELLOW SUBMARINE/ELEANOR RIGBY (Capitol #17696 CEMA Special Markets "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" on GOLD vinyl w/jukebox title strip, 1994):

UNPLAYED MINT GEM 45!

This is a "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY" release which will play on any 45RPM record player...

Yellow Submarine's a ditty that author Paul McCartney said he hoped little kids would warble, and it's one of Ringo's shining moments as a singer; flip side Eleanor Rigby was a real game-changer when issued in '66. Its string section arrangement was an innovation in pop/rock; and the downbeat lyric broke new ground, too.

This 1994 release on gold vinyl is one of the rarest of the rare; it's UNPLAYED MINT with its jukebox title strip. All the CEMA Special Markets 45s are escalating in value:

The Capitol colored vinyl 45s are the rarest stock-copy Beatles singles ever released in the U.S.; there were between 10,000 and 22,000 copies pressed of each "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" 45. This was a sign of the times; by the mid-nineties the era of the 45RPM record seemed to be over. Juke-jobbers, for whom the series was created, had already moved to CD jukeboxes. They didn't want the records, so Capitol sold them to chain stores and mail-order companies just to get rid of them. The rarity of the 30 colored vinyl Beatles 45s is impressive compared to the countless millions of '60s orange-and-yellow swirls and the immense flood of orange, blue, and purple-label reissues of the '70s and '80s. The entire series includes ten singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s, and two others with alternate flip sides. It's been over 20 years since Capitol released this beautiful record, and its rapidly-increasing value reflects its rarity...

One only...don't miss it!
