I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND/THIS BOY (Capitol 17689 "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" CLEAR vinyl CEMA Special Markets 45, 1994): UNPLAYED MINT w/label damage.

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

The tune that made 'em the biggest musical act since Elvis; the opening shot of The British Invasion.  This 1994 CLEAR vinyl gem is in pristine UNPLAYED MINT condition, and its jukebox title strip is included.

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.  The entire series includes eleven singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s (and two others, like this one, 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.

...don't miss it!
