"In 1968, Americom Corporation of New York introduced a new music format for singles called the pocket disc.
Pocket discs were sold at counter displays for 49 cent and in vending machines for 50 cent.
Some discs were packaged with 4 inch by 4 inch red and white or blue and white cardboard flip jackets. Capitol was among the first companies to provide masters to Americom for the manufacture of pocket discs. Capitol's enthusiasm for the new format resulted in Americom receiving masters for the Beatles three singles issued in late 1968 and early 1969."
"After approximately two years piloting the format and arranging for record company partners, Americom formally began test marketing the discs in the Seattle area in Fall, 1968. Capitol/Apple was among several record companies which made an arrangement with Americom to release certain of its latest hit singles in the Pocket Disc format. These carry crude Capitol and Apple labels, with some of the Apple discs having the Capitol logo (just as the singles did). In the listings, the Americom catalog number is listed, along with the Capitol/Apple number. If a song ran over three and one half minutes, it was edited in order for the format to accommodate it. Apparently the editing was done at the record company level, and not by Americom. The discs were available via Americom vending machines -- with the idea being that the instance of theft would be reduced.

A great gift for the Beatle's fanatic! Bid now and secure yourself a piece of ROCK AND ROLL History!
