Extremely Unusual Beatles Capitol Single with Mismatched Target Labels
You undoubtedly already know that Capitol only pressed Beatles 45s with the oval logo on the Target Singles for about 3 months in mid 1969, and that they are therefor very scarce and sought after by collectors...
What makes this pressing even more special is that seems that this particular record must have been the very last copy of Capitol 5555 to feature the Dome logo, as they seem to have used the last "Day Tripper" label that had the rare Oval Dome Logo, and coupled it with the very first "We Can Work It Out" label to feature the new Round "C" logo.
Capitol Records Quality and Control was very good, and it was highly unlikely that a record with mismatched labels would escape the factory - but here it is, and in all likeliness it's one of a kind.
Labels: The "Day Tripper" label has a tiny 'nick' at about 10 o'clock near the edge, I tried to show this in the pictures, The "We Can Work It Out Label" has a small amount of writing as seen in picture. Both labels have slight dark areas (as seen in pictures) where I suspect a sticker may have been removed years ago, but there is no damage to the label itself and there is no evidence of residue, only the very light shadow of where the sticker (again, I'm speculating on the sticker theory) once was.
The Vinyl: Both sides are very shiny, and retain all of the original luster and gloss...the "We Can Work it Out" side has very light marks consistent with sliding in and out of a paper sleeve, the "Day Tripper" side has fewer of the light "handling" marks than the flip, but it does have a noticeable scuff, it's not deep, but it's there. I played the record on my 1980's Sony turntable, and it played great with some audible ticks on "Day Tripper", as one would expect.
If you collect these rare Target Dome Label Singles, here is your lone opportunity to add this one of a kind beauty to your collection!!!
