THE BEATLES 1964 STEREO
MEET THE BEATLES (Recorded in England)
U.S.A. CAPITOL 33 COMPACT 7â€.
THIS WAS THE BEATLES FIRST 33 r.p.m. COMPACT 7†E.P RELEASED BY CAPITOL RECORDS IN THE USA.
The compact 33 was an experimental (and short-lived) disc format of the early 1960s. The disc measures seven inches in diameter (45 sized), has a small center hole, and plays at 33-1/3 RPM. The format was used primarily for mono and stereo singles.
Capitol also put the compact 33 to use in "open-end" interviews — a deceptive yet highly successful technique many record companies employed to promote their artists. Local disc jockeys played the records to stage a fake interview by reading prepared questions from a script between recorded responses. This gave radio stations all over the country an “exclusive†interview.
Capitol (and other companies) manufactured compact 33 records for special jukeboxes but gave up when the 45 single took over the market. Sleeves for the three Beatles jukebox records were a smaller version of the 12-inch sleeve except the back was blank. The record came complete with a song list to display inside the jukebox. Each disc contained six songs — those Capitol probably considered the album's best.
