DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) CAPITOL CUSTOM SERVICES IN LOS ANGELES PREPARED A LIMITED PRESSING OF A 45 RPM SINGLE CONTAINING A BRIEF INTERVIEW WITH THE BEATLES ON ONE SIDE AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON THE OTHER. THE DISC WAS MANUFACTURED FOR WALLICHS MUSIC CITY TO CELEBRATE THE JUNE 5, 1964 OPENING OF ITS NEW STORE IN CANOGA PARK, CALIFORNIA. RADIO STATION KFWB JOINED IN THE PROMOTION, RENAMING ITSELF "KFWBEATLES" FOR THE OCCASION. CAPITOL WAS INVOLVED WITH WALLICHS MUSIC CITY BECAUSE THE STORE'S CO-OWNER WAS GLEN WALLICHS, A FOUNDER OF CAPITOL RECORDS, AND WHO WAS THEN SERVING AS THE LABEL'S CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. THE SOUVENIR RECORD WAS DISTRIBUTED TO LUCKY ATTENDEES OF THE STORE OPENING IN A TAN 7¼" SQUARE MAILER ENVELOPE (CAPPRO2637.PS1, SPIZER). INFORMATION REGARDING THE CUSTOM-MADE DISC IS PRINTED IN RED ON THE FRONT OF THE MAILER, OPENING WITH THE PHRASE "THE BEATLES TALK AND SING!". THE BACK SIDE IS BLANK. THE LABEL FOR THE RECORD (CAPPRO2637.01, SPIZER) IS RED WITH BLACK PRINT. AS STATED, THESE PROMOTIONAL 45 SINGLES WERE ONLY PRESSED BY CAPITOL'S LOS ANGELES FACTORY, AND THIS EXAMPLE DOES HAVE THE MACHINE STAMPED ASTERISK STYLE MARKING IN THE TRAIL-OFF AREA, SIGNIFYING THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS RECORD. THESE DISCS SURFACE OCCASIONALLY AND MOST ALWAYS WITHOUT THE MAILER. BUT HERE - FINALLY - IS THE COMPLETE SET, INCLUDING THE SCARCE, HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE ULTRA-RARE 'WALLICHS MUSIC CITY' MAILER ENVELOPE WHICH IS IN STUPENDOUS NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE MEASUREMENT OF THE MAILER GLUED FLAP IS 2 1/16", WHICH CONFIRMS ITS AUTHENTICITY. THE "PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE" 45 SINGLE IS A BRILLIANT, UNPLAYED MINT MINUS GEM. ACCOMPANIED BY LIFETIME GUARANTEED LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES.
