ULTRA-RARE BEATLES LOT: 5 45s FROM THE CAPITOL OF CANADA 72000 SERIES, INCLUDING RINGO’S “LOVE ME DO,” "PLEASE PLEASE ME" “ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN” AND MORE, PLUS WINNER’S BONUS!

In 1963, way before American teenagers (like me) even heard of The Beatles, Capitol Records of Canada released five 45 rpm singles. Four more followed in early 1964. Each had a five-digit catalog number beginning with 72.

Because they were pressed in very limited quantities (Canada’s population was 1/10th that of the U.S.), and because of their place in music history, these records in the 72000 Series are today considered some of the most valuable of all the Beatles discs! 

In this exclusive package, you’ll win five sensational 45s from the 72000 Series.

PLUS, A TERRIFIC BONUS TO THE WINNING BIDDER!

In the order that they came out, the collection includes:

LOVE ME DO / P.S. I LOVE YOU (CAPITOL 72076)

A fine-sounding copy of this first Beatles single, with Ringo on drums (the version released to America, on Tollie Records, used a studio musician). The hand-etched matrix number in the deadwax is 7XCE-17144-3 on the A-Side, and 7XCE-17145-2 on the flip side, indicating that this was one of the very earliest releases, most likely in late 1963.

PLEASE PLEASE ME/ ASK ME WHY (CAPITOL 72090)

This disc shows its age more than the others in the package, with label wear and some surface noise. Still, these terrific early Beatlesongs (both credited to McCartney-Lennon) are a joy to hear.

SHE LOVES YOU / I’LL GET YOU (CAPITOL 72125)

Initially pressed in September 1963, the record generated little interest—can you believe it? A second pressing was made in December, and this is the one you’ll get—note the -2 on the A-Side matrix number. “She Loves You” went to Number One in Canada and “broke” the group nationally. And you’ll love how this 45 sounds like you just brought it home from the record store back then!

ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN / PLEASE MR. POSTMAN (CAPITOL 72133)

This First Pressing was the fifth and final Beatles single to be issued by Capitol of Canada in 1963.  Both sides sound great—terrific labels, too—and interestingly, neither song was composed by a Beatle. It was also the first single to feature George as lead vocal on an A side.

ALL MY LOVING / THIS BOY (CAPITOL 72144)

Released on March 9, 1964, it was the first single in Canada following The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, on which “All My Loving” was the very first song performed. Although there are no owner marks, the labels show wear, and Side B’s a bit noisy. Sixty years will do that. Terrific songs, though, which you’ll enjoy for—we hope—sixty more.

And now, for the BEATLE BONUS:

If your winning bid is $89 or more, I’ll also include 2 Beatles Solo 45s (THE WINNING BIDDER AUTOMATICALLY GETS THE BONUS!)

If you Buy It Now at $129, I’ll also include 4 Beatles Solo 45s!
