Description

An interesting bootleg album, identical in concept to the Capitol Rarities album, surfaced on the American collectors market several months prior to the official release of Rarities. Titled The Beatles Collector's Items, it was remarkably similar in content to Randall Davis' compilation (Mr. Davis was Capitol’s Merchandising and Advertising Director). The LP even bore a fictitious Capitol Records catalog number (Capitol SPRO 9462) and counterfeit Capitol labels. This limited edition sixteen-track record gained quite a reputation among collectors for its surprisingly well-conceived sleeve design and graphics. The back of the jacket offered concise liner notes on the origin of each track along with black and white photos of all the Beatles' previous Capitol Albums. 1000 copies were initially pressed, with no expense being spared in the graphics design and printing of the jackets and labels. .
