STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER B/W PENNY LANE
CAPITOL 5810 OSC
RELEASED: 8/1/68
WEST COAST, LOS ANGELES PRESSING

FOR YEARS THIS BEATLES 1967 'DOUBLE A-SIDE' CLASSIC "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER  b/w  "PENNY LANE" WAS PREVIOUSLY UNDOCUMENTED AND ORIGINALLY BELIEVED NOT TO HAVE BEEN PRESSED OR ISSUED FOR THE ORANGE AND YELLOW SWIRL 1968 "SUBSIDIARY" CATALOG.

THIS OBSCURE AND MUCH SOUGHT AFTER MEGA-RARE "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER" 'SUBSIDIARY' 45 SINGLE WAS NOT CONFIRMED UNTIL FEBRUARY 2007, NEARLY 40 YEARS AFTER THE RECORD WAS ISSUED. IT IS NOW ESTIMATED THAT LESS THAN SIX HAVE SURFACED TO THIS DATE. THIS EXAMPLE BEING OFFERED HERE IS THE FINEST KNOWN TO EXIST.

THIS LOS ANGELES PRESSING AND ITS WEST COAST LABELS ARE QUITE UNIQUE FOR THE "MICRO" FONTS USED HERE DIFFER ENTIRELY FROM THOSE USED FOR THE ORIGINAL STANDARD 1967 ISSUE, AND ALSO DIFFER FROM THE LABEL COPY USED FOR THE OTHER "SUBSIDIARY" RELEASES.

THIS EXAMPLE IS GRADED AS A MAGNIFICENT, SHIMMERING MINT UNPLAYED "AS NEW" JEWEL, WITH STUNNING GLOSSY, FLAWLESS STUNNING NEAR MINT LABELS. THE MEGA-RARE DISC IS ACCOMPANIED BY ITS NEAR MINT AND CORRECT 1967-68 CAPITOL RECORDS GENERIC SLEEVE.

CONDITION: M (UNPLAYED, "AS NEW")
ITEM#: S847
PRICE: $3,000

MEGA-RARE PRESSING WITHOUT THE "NON-SLIP" NOTCHES

THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAS AN ADDITIONAL FACTOR OF RARITY.  THE CAPITOL "SUBSIDIARY" SINGLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A RING OF 360 NOTCHES AROUND THE LABEL. THE PURPOSE OF THE "NON-SLIP"  NOTCHES WAS TO HAVE THE RECORD INTERLOCK TO OTHER RECORDS WHEN STACKED. THIS RECORD BEING OFFERED HERE HAD LEFT THE FACTORY WITHOUT THE "NON-SLIP" NOTCHES - BUT HAS THE STANDARD, SMOOTH SURFACE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE LABELS. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS THE FIRST TO HAVE EVER SURFACED FOR THIS TITLE.

THE RECORD AND LABELS ARE IN GLORIOUS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

AFTER CAPITOL PHASED OUT IT'S SWIRL LABELS, IN MAY 1969 THE FACTORY MISTAKENLY PRESSED A VERY LIMITED RUN OF THE "WE CAN WORK IT OUT" SINGLE WITH THE NEW RED AND WHITE CIRCLE STARLINE LABEL. BEING THAT THIS LABEL WAS PHASED OUT IMMEDIATELY, THIS RECORD IS THE ONLY BEATLES 45 SINGLE PRESSED ON THE RED AND WHITE CIRCLE STARLINE LABEL AND IS EXTREMELY RARE, AND CONSIDERED ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST VALUABLE OF THE CAPITOL BEATLES SINGLES.

TO DATE, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT LESS THAN TEN HAVE SURFACED, AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE DISCOVERED ARE IN POOR CONDITION. THE EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE BEING OFFERED HERE IS IN SPECTACULAR MINT MINUS "AS NEW" UNPLAYED CONDITION AND SHIMMERS LIKE A JEWEL. THE LABELS GRADE A VIBRANT MINT MINUS AS WELL.

ACCOMPANIED BY THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE CIRCLE STARLINE "SUPER OLDIES" TITLE SLEEVE.
