"For Jukeboxes Only!" Color vinyl singles series Click on a picture or label variation to view my collection |
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. Several variations of a few titles brings the total to 34. * CEMA is the distribution arm of what was then called Capitol-EMI. CEMA originally stood for what was, at the time, the four EMI companies distributed by this branch: Capitol, EMI, Manhattan and Angel. Capitol-EMI subsequently acquired and distributed several other companies, so that distribution branch was simply known as "CEMA." |

Black Series
Birthday / Taxman - S7-17488 - January 1994 - "This was originally scheduled to be released on 7-28-93, alongside Badfinger's Baby Blue / Day After Day (S7-17487) and Paul's C'Mon People / Down To The River (S7-17489). At this time, the 'A' and 'B' sides were reversed (the single was Taxman / Birthday) and it was to be pressed on yellow vinyl. The release was delayed until the following year, when it was released along with several other titles, with Birthday as the 'A' side side and pressed on green vinyl. Again, owing to goof-ups at the plant, a small quantity of black vinyl discs were shipped, numbering about 25 - 50 pieces."
