LOVE ME DO / PS I LOVE YOU - JUKE BOX PROMO RED VINYL ISSUE- capitol # s7-56785-this USA only special coloured vinyl release “ For juke boxes only “ part of a capitol sales promotion connected with the reissue of many Beatles singles. In 1992, Capitol released the single Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You as a single from their CEMA( Special Markets Division), with "For Jukeboxes Only!" printed on the label. Two years later, in 1994 they issued a series of 15 titles, followed by another series of 15 in 1996. All discs in the second series of juke-box singles had sales of 15,000 - 20,000 pieces. The first series, in fact, sold quite a bit more than the second, sales of those discs range typically in the 22,000 range. Three titles, Love Me Do, Birthday, and Norwegian Wood were issued (two inadvertantly) on both color vinyl and black vinyl .love me do / pS i love you was the first of the "For Jukeboxes Only" releases. CEMA originally ordered these in black vinyl. Specialty, the company who pressed them, had just finished a run of red vinyl singles for another artist, and the operator forgot to change to black "biscuits". About 250-300 copies of the red vinyl Love Me Do were made before the mistake was discovered. CEMA ended up keeping these copies, and they were eventually sold to one distributor. The black vinyl discs were released on October 19, the same day as Capitol's CD single of Love Me Do, while the red versions were finally shipped the following year on March 10The condition of this rarity is mint - mint - there is a black dot in the vinyl on “Ps I love you” but this does not play and is hardly noticeable. leaving this a very desirable item for collector
