The Beatles

In 1992, Capitol released the single Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You as a single from their CEMA* Special Markets Division, with "For Jukeboxes Only!" printed on the label. Two years later, in 1994 they issued a series of 15 titles, followed by another series of 15 in 1996. All discs in the second series of juke-box singles had sales of 15,000 - 20,000 pieces. The first series, in fact, sold quite a bit more than the second, sales of those discs range typically in the 22,000 range. Three titles, Love Me Do, Birthday, and Norwegian Wood were issued (two inadvertantly) on both color vinyl and black vinyl - with one common version and one rare version of each, noted as follows:

Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You (Red vinyl / Black vinyl S7-56785)) - This was the first of the "For Jukeboxes Only" releases. CEMA originally ordered these in black vinyl. Specialty, who pressed them, had just finished a run of red vinyl singles for another artist, and the operator forgot to change to black "biscuits". About 250-300 copies of the red vinyl Love Me Do were made before the mistake was discovered. CEMA ended up keeping these copies, and they were eventually sold to one distributor. The black vinyl discs were released on October 19, the same day as Capitol's CD single of Love Me Do, while the red versions were finally shipped the following year on March 10, and are valued at around $35.00.

Norwegian Wood / If I Needed Someone (Green vinyl, S7-18888 / Black vinyl S7-19341) - The green vinyl version was only available through Collector's Choice Music when you bought the 1995 sealed set of Beatles LP's - only 1000 were made and it sells for around $50.00. The black vinyl is the common standard issue.

Birthday / Taxman (Green vinyl / Black vinyl, S7-17488) - This was originally scheduled to be released on 7-28-93, alongside Badfinger's Baby Blue / Day After Day (S7-17487) and Paul's C'Mon People / Down To The River (S7-17489). At this time, the 'A' and 'B' sides were reversed (the single was Taxman / Birthday) and it was to be pressed on yellow vinyl. The release was delayed until the following year, when it was released along with several other titles, with Birthday as the 'A' side side and pressed on green vinyl. Again, owing to goof-ups at the plant, a small quantity of black vinyl discs were shipped, numbering about 25 - 50 pieces. Actually quite rare, and mistakenly priced at only a few dollars' value.

In all, there are 34 issues counting variations. "For Jukeboxes Only" titles were also released by Paul McCartney, Badfinger, The Beach Boys and other artists.

Grading Scale:

M  Mint - usually reserved for sealed records.

NM Near Mint with only one or two insignificant defects.

VG++ (or NM-) Extremely nice, would be NM except for a few light hairline scratches or scuffs which do not affect play.

VG+ A nice but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops or ticks but no serious problems.

VG A well used record that still sounds OK but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc. 

VG- A very worn record that plays through without skipping that will do until a better copy comes along!
