THE BEATLES - “WHY & CRY FOR A SHADOW” 45 Picture Sleeve Cut Out Bin & Disc.
This is probably one of the few Beatles 45 rpm releases ever to make it to a cut out bin in a record store.
What is a cut out ?
The term “cut-out” has nothing to do with the punched holes, clipped corners, and other defacements found on old album jackets and 45 sleeves. The term simply applies to a record that has been deleted—or “cut out”—from a record company’s catalog of in-print titles. Once a record is deleted, it is a cut-out, even if it’s in perfect condition.
Cut-outs were typically wholesaled to retailers as non-returnable items, meaning that the store cannot send them back to the distributor for a refund; the reason for the cut or hole in the packaging is simply to clearly mark the item as non-returnable. The marking also serves to prevent the retailer from attempting to sell the item at full price instead of a discounted price.
