THE BEATLES OPEN END INTERVIEW
CAPITOL, PRO 2548
RELEASED: FEBRUARY 1964
(ACTUAL SCANS)
COMPACT 33 SLEEVE & DISC PROMOTION COPY "NOT FOR SALE" (CAPPRO 2548.01, SPIZER)
TO ENCOURAGE DISC JOCKEYS TO PROMOTE THE BEATLES, CAPITOL PREPARED OPEN-END INTERVIEW RECORDS THAT ALLOWED A DISC JOCKEY TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT HE WAS PERSONALLY CONDUCTING AN IN-STATION INTERVIEW WITH THE GROUP. THE ILLUSION WAS CREATED BY COMBINING A SCRIPT OF STATEMENTS AND QUESTIONS TO ASK THE GROUP WITH A RECORD CONTAINING GAPS OF SILENCE FOR THE DJ TO READ THE SCRIPT BETWEEN THE PRERECORDED RESPONSES OF THE BOYS.
AS PART OF ITS BEATLES CAMPAIGN, CAPITOL SENT COPIES OF THE FIRST BEATLES INTERVIEW RECORD TO BROADCASTERS IN FEBRUARY, 1964. IT WAS TITLED THE BEATLES OPEN-END INTERVIEW. THE INTERVIEW RECORD WAS PRODUCED BY JACK WAGNER, WHO APPARENTLY PREPARED THE SCRIPT AND EDITED COMMENTS OF THE GROUP TO FORM A BRIEF INTERVIEW LEADING UP TO THE PLAYING OF THE HIT SINGLE I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND. THE SECOND AND FINAL OPEN-END WAS THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM, RELEASED IN APRIL 1964.
THE BEATLES' OPEN-END INTERVIEW DISC WAS SENT WITH A BLACK & WHITE PICTURE SLEEVE (which is not included in this auction). IT CONTAINS THE TEXT OF THE INTERVIEW .
THIS MOST SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST OPEN-END INTERVIEW SET IS AN ABSOLUTE WINNER INDEED.
THE RECORD Play Grade is A GEM! .Black ranbow label capitol 33 compact pro-2548 & pro-2549. This 45 has been play graded at VG++ the sleeve is about a VG+. label is graded at a vg- on one side (pit marks) and vg on the other. I play grade vinyl sound over physical appearance.
