COMMENTS

When the Capitol Record Club began
operations in 1958, it entered a mail-order market dominated
by two clubs owned by other labels - Columbia and RCA. the
Capitol Records record club enticed people to join by
offering half-dozen or so "free" records in exchange for the
new member buying one record and agreeing to club membership
rules. Capitol's only hope of catching the competition was
to exploit the strength of its talent roster. Then in December 1968, Capitol had agreed to sell its direct marketing corporation, which included the Capitol record club to the Longines (Longines-Wittnauer) company. prior to Longines' purchase of the record club, The Beatles albums issued to club members were the same as the records shipped by Capitol to distributors and stores. After Longines took over the club in 1969, Capitol quit supplying albums to the club, instead Longines arranged for the manufacture of Capitol albums using cover artwork and label backdrops supplied by Capitol. The LP back covers have three angled black bars in the upper right hand corner which wrap around to the front cover in the upper left hand corner, and do not have the "File Under" information. Longines also altered the record number of the LPs by adding the number "8" to the prefix. By the time Longines began pressing Capitol Beatles albums in 1968, mono discs have been phased out. Thus, there are no mono Longines pressings of Beatles albums. These Longines Beatles albums are less common than the standard Capitol albums, which sold in the millions. The first records pressed for Longines have the Capitol rainbow label backdrops, while later issues have either green Capitol labels. Longines altered the record number of the LPs by adding the number "8" to the prefix. "Something New (Capitol ST 2108)" is designated ST-8-2108. The expanded record numbers appear on the record covers and labels and in the trail off areas. None of the original record-club covers have the gFile Underh dot. The New Improved Full Dimensional Stereo logo was appeared at the top of the front cover slick. Back liner has the catalog number "ST 8- 2108".

(*) The Longines Symphonette Society: The Longines Symphonette Society was a direct marketing company working out of Larchmont and, later, New Rochelle, New York. These addresses were also printed on the labels of their releases. The company operated from the late-1960s until 1974, headed by Alan Cartoun, president, and son of Longines Watch Company Chairman, Fred Cartoun. The Longines Symphonette Society was a pioneer of using personalized computer-generated letters to promote LP records, 8-track tapes, electronics, books, and collectors' medallions. But their main business was mail-order LP box sets of classical and easy listening music, as well as releasing LPs of "old time radio" (OTR) programs. It purchased the record club edition rights to the catalog of Capitol Records from the label for its Capitol Record Club in 1968 and continued to press Capitol LPs for the club until 1975, when it was shut down.

| Capitol's green label was

label, the licensing statement still indicates that the
records were made for Capitol Records. On early copies, the
word "STEREO" appears in the same type face that had been
used on the black-label issue – with "round" letters like
the ones that were being used on regular-issue Capitol
albums. The trademark registration can be found in one of two configurations: either as TM to the right of the word "Capitol" or as (R) underneath the l in "Capitol." Early 1969 wiith the "TM" next to "Capitol", later, in 1971, the "TM" was replaced with the more traditional "R" in a circle. |
