Meet The Beatles' Capitol Compact 33 was released on March 20, 1964 and was the first of only 3 to be released by Capitol Records in this mini-album 7 EP super rare jukebox version, and pressed only on the East Coast in Scranton. The compact 33 was an experimental (and short-lived) disc format of the early 1960s. The disc measures seven inches in diameter (45 sized), has a small center hole, and plays at 33-1/3 RPM. The format was used primarily for mono and stereo singles. Capitol also put the compact 33 to use in "open-end" interviews? A deceptive yet highly successful technique many record companies employed to promote their artists. Local disc jockeys played the records to stage a fake interview by reading prepared questions from a script between recorded responses. This gave radio stations all over the country an exclusive interview. Capitol manufactured compact 33 records for special jukeboxes but gave up when the 45 single took over the market. Each disc contained six songs those Capitol Records considered the album's best, recorded in stereo, very rare in 1964!It Won't Be Long. All I've Got To Do. I Wanna Be Your Man.
