LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS/WHEN I'M 64 (Capitol 18896 "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" RED vinyl CEMA Special Markets 45): Clean M- w/jukestrip.
From the scarce second series of 15...the first time this excellent pairing has appeared on 45! Brilliant RED vinyl with jukebox title strip; pristine UNPLAYED MINT! All the CEMA Special Markets "For Jukeboxes Only" 45s are escalating in price:
The Capitol colored vinyl 45s are the rarest stock-copy Beatles singles ever released in the U.S.; there were only 10,000 to 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. This is one of the second 15 records in the series, a previously unreleased on 45RPM single! The entire series includes eleven singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s (and two others with alternate flip sides); this is one of those 11 previously unreleased 45s! It's been over 15 years since Capitol released the last of these beautiful records, and rapidly-increasing values reflect their rarity.
Only ONE copy to sell! Don't miss it!
