THE BEATLES - CAPITOL HITS (10 x SINGLE SIDED ACETATE LPs). A tremendous Beatles rarity with this fantastic set of 10 x single sided LP acetates. Produced for a proposed compilation album featuring Capitol acts and includes Beatles and solo releases from the Fab 4. The records (printed Capitol labels 'STEREO CAPITOL HITS 1970 - 1979') are in remarkable Ex+/archive condition with the playing surfaces showing very few markings indeed. This indicates to us that these recordings have been seldom played/handled. The records are dated from October 1981 but were not released allegedly down to a rule that no Beatle track could be licensed to appear on a compilation album. Purchased by the vendor at a Philips auction in the 1990’s with a Chrisites auction sticker dating from April 1991 on one of the inner sleeves. Please see photographs for the complete track listing. Housed with magazine pages celebrating artists featured on Capitol records. From the George Rab archive.
