Unique 12˝ US Capitol Records two-sided acetate for the stereo release of the compilation album "The Big Hits From England & U.S.A.," a fun record that showcased their strong roster of rock acts (Beatles, Beach Boys, Peter & Gordon) and pop singers (Nat King Cole, Al Martino, and Cilla Black). The highlights are 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'You Can't Do That' by the Beatles, and 'I Get Around' and 'Don't Worry Baby' by the Beach Boys. All the rockers are on side one and the pop tunes are on side two. Interestingly, prior to its inclusion on the 'Hey Jude' LP in 1970, 'Can't Buy Me Love' had not been issued on a Beatles Capitol LP in the US.
The acetate disc bears black-and-white Capitol labels, filled out in type: "Master No. ST-1-2125, Time 15:10, Side 1, Title: Big Hits from England & USA, 6-15-64, Artist: Various" and "Master No. ST-2-2125, Time 12:22, Side 2, Title: Big Hits from England & USA, 6-15-64, Artist: Various."
The only known example of this acetate, the disc is in nice VG+ condition overall. Accompanied by a high-fidelity digital transfer (.wav file) of the acetate's contents on a USB stick.
From the Mark Erbach Collection.
