BEATLEMANIACS!  We just purchased a HUGE BEATLES COLLECTION (nearly a THOUSAND items!); we'll be listing Fab Four collectibles as fast as time allows...so add us to your favorite sellers list, and keep an eye on our buy-it-now bargains and rare auction finds!  Here's today's GEAR listing:   WE CAN WORK IT OUT/DAY TRIPPER (Capitol 18895 "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" PINK vinyl CEMA Special Markets 45, 1996): Clean M- w/jukestrip.

Although this is a "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY" CEMA Special Markets release, please note it will play on any 45RPM record player...

From the scarce 2nd series of 14!  Beatles classic on brilliant PINK 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 between 10,000 and 20,000 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; the entire group includes eleven singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s (and two others with alternate flip sides). It's been 18 years since Capitol released the last of these beautiful records, and rapidly-increasing values reflect their rarity...
