VERY RARE ORIGINAL EARLY 1964 BEATLES " SECOND OPEN-END INTERVIEW " EP!! THIS IS THE SECOND OF ONLY TWO RADIO STATION PROMOTIONAL OPEN-END INTERVIEW EP RECORDS ISSUED BY CAPITOL RECORDS FOR THE BEATLES IN THE USA!!!!

THIS IS THE SECOND EVER AMERICAN BEATLES CAPITOL RECORDS PROMOTIONAL EP RECORD! THIS EP WAS ISSUED IN 1964 TO PROMOTE THE BEATLES SECOND CLASSIC ALBUM, ' THE BEATLES 'SECOND ALBUM ', TITLED ' THE BEATLES SECOND OPEN-END ' (Capitol Compact 33 PRO-2598/PRO-2599, Issued 4/64). THIS WAS A PROMOTIONAL ITEM DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BEATLES WERE ACTUALLY IN THE RADIO STATION GIVING THE INTERVIEWS LIVE! THE INTERVIEW SIDE OF THE DISC FEATURES ONLY THE BEATLES ANSWERS WITH BLANK PERIODS PRECEDING THAT ALLOWED THE DISC JOCKEY TO READ THE QUESTIONS FROM THE SLEEVE. THE INTERVIEW ENDS LEADING INTO THE TRACK, ' ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN '. THIS ITEM IS ONE OF THE TRUE RARITIES AND ONE OF THE MOST DEMANDED BEATLES PROMOTIONAL RECORDS! SIDE TWO FEATURES TWO MORE OF THE ALBUMS GREAT TRACKS..' PLEASE MR. POSTMAN AND THANK YOU GIRL '. THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE HIGHLY DESIRED COLLECTIBLES FOR ANY BEATLES RECORD COLLECTION! THIS LISTING IS FOR THE RECORD AND SLEEVES AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS! I AM NOT A EXPERT ON GRADING, SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND. THE RECORD HAS GOOD LABELS ON BOTH SIDES, VINYL ON SIDE TWO I WOULD SAY IS GOOD+ AND VINYL ON SIDE ONE IS GOOD. THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPPING AND HAS NO WARPING. THERE IS NEEDLE SCRATCHES AND MARKS ON BOTH SIDES, BUT MORE ON SIDE 1 AS WELL. THIS WAS THE SECOND OF ONLY TWO 'OPEN-END' CAPITOL PROMO EP's MADE.

This is an original 1964 Capitol Records and NOT a reproduction.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS SOME NOISE ON THIS RECORD DUE TO AGE AND SCRATCHES AND SUCH, BUT IT IS MOSTLY ON THE FIRST PART OF INTERVIEW ON SIDE 1 AND NOT AS MUCH ON THE MUSIC. SIDE 2 HAS SOME AS WELL, BUT NOT AS NOTICEABLE. I AM VERY PICK ON SOUND AND I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS SOUNDS ALL THAT BAD. I HAVE INCLUDED A LINK SO YOU CAN HEAR THE RECORD PLAYING YOURSELF. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I USED MY PHONE TO RECORD THE VIDEO, SO THE VIDEO IS NOT HIGH QUALITY. I THINK THE RECORD DOES SOUND BETTER IN PERSON. ALSO REMEMBER THAT EVERYONE'S SYSTEM IS DIFFERNT AND THAT IT WILL SOUND DIFFERENT ON YOURS THAN ON MINE. I ALSO THINK THE RECORD WOULD SOUND BETTER IF IT WAS TO BE CLEANED WITH A GOOD RECORD CLEANING MACHINE, BUT I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE NEW BUYER. ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. I TOOK THE MAXIMUM PHOTOS ALLOWED TO TRY AND SHOW CONDITION OF BOTH SIDES OF RECORD, WAS DIFFICULT TO DO WITH THE LIGHTING, SO THERE IS SOME REFLECTION (GLARE, SHADOWS AND SUCH) IN THE PHOTOS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PHOTOS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BE GLAD TO SEND YOU MORE. (LINK BELOW OF RECORD PLAYING.) THANK YOU
