BEATLEMANIACS!  We purchased a HUGE BEATLES COLLECTION (nearly 1000 items!). We're still plowing through the pile, so add us to your favorite sellers list. HELP!/I'M DOWN (Capitol #17691 CEMA Special Markets issue on WHITE vinyl, 1994): UNPLAYED MINT 45 w/JUKEBOX TITLE STRIP!

                        This "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY" single will play on any 45RPM turntable.

UNPLAYED MINT GEM 45 of the title tune from The Beatles' 2nd movie Help! on brilliant WHITE vinyl with jukebox title strip.  Flip side I'm Down is tied with Revolution for the rockin'est B-side in the Fab Four's catalog.  All the CEMA Special Markets singles have miniscule pressings: 

The Capitol colored vinyl 45s are the rarest stock-copy Beatles singles ever released in the US; there were between 10,000 and 22,000 copies pressed of each "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" 45.  When issued in the mid-'90s, juke-jobbers filling their machines were switching to CD jukeboxes.  They didn't want the records, so Capitol sold them to chain stores & mail-order companies just to get rid of them.  The scarcity of these colored vinyl Beatles 45s is impressive compared to the countless millions of '60s orange-and-yellow swirls and the immense flood of orange, blue & purple-label reissues of the '70s and '80s.  The entire series of 29 colored vinyls includes 9 singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s & 2 others with alternate flip sides.  It's been over 25 years since Capitol released this beautiful record & its rarity is driving up the price.

                    Sounds great on your turntable, jukebox...or put it in The Vault!

                        One only...don't miss it!
