DURING THE SIXTIES, CAPITOL ISSUED STEREO COMPACT 33 DISCS OF SOME OF THE LABEL'S MOST POPULAR ALBUMS FOR JUKEBOX PLAY. THESE 7" RECORDS HAD A SMALL CENTER HOLE AND PLAYED AT 331/3 RPM. THESE MINI-ALBUMS WERE NORMALLY PROGRAMMED WITH THREE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM ON EACH SIDE OF THE DISC. THE SONGS FEATURED ON THE COMPACT 33 RECORDS WERE OFTEN UNAVAILABLE IN THE 45 SINGLES FORMAT. THE DISCS WERE HOUSED IN A CARDBOARD JACKET, WHICH HAD A MINIATURE REPRODUCTION OF THE ALBUM COVER ON THE FRONT AND A BLANK WHITE BACK SIDE. CAPITOL PRODUCED THREE BEATLES COMPACT 33'S STARTING WITH "MEET THE BEATLES", THEN "THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM" AND "SOMETHING NEW" BEING THE FINAL TWO. ALL THREE WERE MANUFACTURED BY CAPITOL'S SCRANTON FACTORY.

FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES MOST PROUDLY OFFERS HERE A MAJESTIC AND MOST MONUMENTAL EXAMPLE OF THE SECOND BEATLES JUKEBOX COMPACT 33, "THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM", RELEASED IN APRIL 1964 AT THE TIME OF THE RELEASE OF THE LP ALBUM. IT REMAINS STILL SEALED IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BAGGYWRAP - AND IS TOTALLY COMPLETE - INCLUDING THE ACCOMPANYING ORIGINAL FIVE CONNECTED SEEBURG 3" X 1" JUKEBOX BLUE TITLE PLASTIC STRIPS AND ITS ORIGINAL THREE 1⅞" X 1⅞" MINI LP COVER PAPER INSERTS, BOTH MANUFACTURED BY THE STAR TITLE STRIP CO. THESE INSERTS ARE VISIBLE THROUGH THE BACK SIDE OF THE BAGGYWRAP. THE COMPACT 33 DISC IS BARELY VISIBLE THROUGH THE MOUTH OPENING OF THE COVER.

A STILL SEALED COPY OF ANY OF THE THREE BEATLES' CAPITOL JUKEBOX ISSUES IS QUITE REWARDING AND AMONG THE RAREST TO OBTAIN. THIS IS OUR VERY FIRST THAT WE HAVE ACQUIRED AND OFFERED. THIS ONE IS A WORLD-CLASS EXAMPLE AND STILL RETAINS A FRESH "NEWNESS" TO IT. IT IS STUNNING TO SAY THE LEAST, LAYING BEAUTIFULLY FLAT WITH ALL FOUR CORNERS BEING SHARP, WITH NO SIGN OF WEAR OR RUBBING AT ALL. THERE IS NO YELLOWING OR AGING, AND THE STARK BLANK WHITE BACK COVER REMAINS A CLEAN 'SNOW" WHITE. THERE ARE NO RIPS, TEARS OR HOLES IN THE BAGGYWRAP.
