Rarely Seen for sale anywhere in the globe Super Ultra Mega Rare Capitol Compact 33 SPRO 2905/06 Promotional 7" EP

This Capitol Souvenir Record (Capitol SPRO-2905/06) was issued in 1965 to celebrate the grand opening of Capitol Records 3rd U.S. pressing plant in Jacksonville Illinois. It was made in the most limited of issues and never ever offered for sale to the public.


This amazing Capitol Compact 33 Souvenir Record plays at 33 1/3 speed and features the top 15 Capitol artists, including the Beatles, Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, plus many others. It was given to executives of Capitol as a free gift during tours of the new facility. It is unknown how many were actually pressed. The back of the sleeve features statements from 3 Capitol Record executives, including Alan Livingston the president of Capitol Records and the person who signed the Beatles to the label. If you own Bruce Spizer's brilliant book, The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records: Part Two (2000) ,you will find a stunning picture of the exact sleeve and record on pages 231 and 232 along with a brief description of the history of this rarity. Sought after by many collectors, including Beach Boys and Sinatra collectors, this record is most famous and highly sought after by most collectors across the globe because of the inclusion of the Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand. This record & sleeve are also featured in Perry Cox's indispensable price guide, The Beatles Memorabilia & Record Price Guide (1999) on page 111 valued at $1300 !!

This super rare sleeve has NO splits, NO rips, NO tape and NO writing.
The vinyl does show play as most of these rare promo EPs usually do.

This amazing treasure ships Lightning-fast & Free anywhere in the world !!
