BEATLES COLORED VINYL: 1994 LOT OF 15 RARE CEMA UNPLAYED MINT 45s! 

The CEMA colored vinyl 45s are the rarest stock-copy Beatles singles ever released in the U.S.; there were between 10,000 and 22,000 copies pressed of each "FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!" 45.  This was a sign of the times; by the mid-90s the era of the 45RPM record seemed to be over.  Juke-jobbers, for whom the series was created, had already moved to CD jukeboxes.  They didn't want the records, so Capitol sold them to chain stores and mail-order companies to get them off their books.  The rarity of these colored vinyl Beatles 45s is impressive compared to the countless millions of '60s orange-and-yellow swirls and the immense flood of orange, blue, and purple-label reissues of the '70s and '80s.  The first series of 15 titles offered here includes 2 singles that had never before appeared as U.S. 45s (Birthday and Here Comes The Sun), and 2 others with alternate flip sides (I Want To Hold Your Hand and A Hard Day's Night, which have their original UK flip sides).  It's been over 20 years since Capitol released these Beatles colored vinyl records, and rapidly-increasing values reflect their rarity:

1) Birthday/Taxman (Capitol 17488 GREEN vinyl, 1994): previously unreleased on 45;
2) She Loves You/I'll Get You (Capitol 17688 RED vinyl, 1994);
3) I Want To Hold Your Hand/This Boy (Capitol 17689 CLEAR vinyl, 1994): alternate flip side;
4) Can't Buy Me Love/You Can't Do That (Capitol 17690 GREEN vinyl, 1994);
5) Help!/I'm Down (Capitol 17691 WHITE vinyl, 1994);
6) A Hard Day's Night/Things We Said Today (Capitol 17692 WHITE vinyl, 1994): alternate flip side;
7) All You Need Is Love/Baby You're A Rich Man (Capitol 17693 PINK vinyl, 1994);
8) Hey Jude/Revolution (Capitol 17694 BLUE vinyl, 1994);
9) Let It Be/You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) (Capitol 17695 GOLD vinyl, 1994);
